Earthbound Debug Menu Guide ver. 0.5 © 1999 Daryel M. Bush (daryel_bush@hotmail.com) Using LrdRokoL’s “MULTI- TASK CODE” I found a way to access the debug menu. Here's how: Requirements: 1. 2. 3. 4. a Game Genie a saved game where you can go to one of three places: inside Dungeon Man, the Scaraba Bazaar, or The Place where Pokey taunts you before the final battle a SNES control deck compatible with the the Game Genie; newer ones aren’t. If all you get is a blank screen with the Game Genie in, even with the Game Genie Switch OFF, your SNES control deck was probably designed to resist the Game Genie. Probably the right rev. of the game; I haven’t tried this on any paks but my own Method for inside Dungeon Man: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. input LrdRokoL’s “MULTI-TASK CODE”: EE64-54A1 turn off the GG before pressing start to exit the Game Genie Menu* start saved game and get inside Dungeon Man find the sign near Dungeon Man's face that says, "That face is mine. (Feel free to talk to it.) ...Brick Road." turn on the GG*, read the sign continue scrolling though the messages. There will be some text from Pokey's taunts before the final battle with Giygas: "Are you surprised?..." After “...Evil Power.” a message “NNW SMSK?” will appear in the prompt window. Then the Debug Menu will appear. turn off the GG* Method for the Scaraba Bazaar: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. input LrdRokoL’s “MULTI-TASK CODE”: EE64-54A1 turn off the GG before pressing start to exit the Game Genie Menu* start saved game and go to Scaraba find the sign near the Bazaar that says, “Hassan's Shop ($ dollars acceptable.)” turn on the GG*, read the sign continue scrolling though the messages. There will be a quote from Dungeon Man, then some text from Pokey's taunts before the final battle with Giygas: "Are you surprised?..." After “...Evil Power.” a message “NNW SMSK?” will appear in the prompt window. Then the Debug Menu will appear. turn off the GG* Method for The Place before the final battle: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. input LrdRokoL’s “MULTI-TASK CODE”: EE64-54A1 turn off the GG before pressing start to exit the Game Genie Menu* start saved game and face Giygas Pokey will appear and taunt: “Are you surprised?..." Before pressing B to scroll through his taunts, turn on the GG*. continue scrolling through Pokey's taunts. After he says, “...Evil Power.” a message “NNW SMSK?” will appear in the prompt window. Then the Debug Menu will appear. turn off the GG* *Failure to turn off the Game Genie at the correct time can lock the game and possibly ruin your save files. I haven’t lost any data yet, though. Methods for ZSNES users: I would like to say I do not support the use of ROMs for users who do not own their own copy of the game. Please note you are missing out on the full effect of Earthbound's soundtrack in this case because ZSNES emulation does not reproduce the excellent music or sound effects perfectly. I hope only people who own their own Earthbound pak, and do not own a compatible SNES control deck or do not have the time or patience to play the game again to get to a correct point, will use this. Thanks go to Tomato for figuring out this method and spelling it out: For inside Dungeon Man and the Scaraba Bazaar: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Load the ROM Get close to the correct point, but do not check the sign. Put in EE64-54A1 as a cheat code Hit Fix, then Toggle. The code should be turned OFF. Open the main menu in Earthbound. Move the cursor to Check. Then turn on the code. Then read the sign. Keep scrolling through the text until the Debug Menu appears. Turn OFF the code You might have to repeat steps 4 and 5 a few times if your timing is off. For The Place before the final battle: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Load the ROM Get close to Giygas, but do not trigger his awakening Put in EE64-54A1 as a cheat code Hit Fix, then Toggle. The code should be turned ON. Approach Giygas Keeps scrolling through the text until the Debug Menu appears. Turn OFF the code. The absolute quickest way to access the Debug Menu is to use a save state with all this already done. There is one at: http://www.earthbound.net/misc/ebdebug.zip, but I warn you that choice for Paula's name is quite vulgar. To use this, place the unzipped save state file in the same directory as the Earthbound ROM, then rename the save state file to the same name as the ROM file, but with the same extension as before, .zs6. Run ZNES, load the ROM, select save state slot #6 (it should be highlighted), and load the save state. The Debug Menu: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
