Debug Menu
A simple debug menu that tests some of the game's features. Each option has a value that can be changed with the analog stick, and when the A button is pressed, a menu or screen appears. The menu is in Japanese in all releases. The options to the following, from top to bottom:
- Title screen options test. (1) has Challenge Mode show up in the menu.
- Monolog viewer. Notable monologs include:
- 10 (tu_tx16.blo) and 29 (tu_tx36.blo), an untranslated message and an unused ending monolog respectively.
- 152 (test2.blo), more or less the second sprite test screen but without the ability to move the screen or the 5.
- Save file saving test. All 8 options seem to do the same thing.
- Effect/button/sprite test screen. Use the C-stick to pan screen.
- (1) has a pulsating 5 that can be moved with the analog stick, along with some different text.
- Memory card notices, including save creation, space warnings, corruption warnings, and a repair tool of sorts. A save file will actually be created in this menu, so caution should be used if testing options that would reformat the card for instance.
- Save file loading test. (1) does nothing.
- Voyage log/monolog viewer. All 31 options do the same thing, and the days you can select only go up to day 16 for unknown reasons. Some unused/untranslated logs are present as well.
- End of day screen
- Pause menus for both game modes
- Final statistics screen
- Shows the "Press Start" graphic from the title screen
