ds debugger

[blacknumbers]

Hey guys, found something cool, but before someone (who thinks they are smart) says ANYTHING, this IS old, so....

I found out how to access the debug screen on a DS game (pacifically sm64ds). Anyway, here is how:

and here is some explaination of the ds debug screen:

ande here is the level names for/on the debug screen (for sm64ds):

and here are other exaples:

That is all.......see ya!

Interesting, do you want to make codes using this debug screen or something, because I don't know what point the debug screen could have otherwise??

Was that the only game?? I think it is almost useless...unless you wanted to know more about the game's programming or wanted to make a code I wouldn't even bother with this. Also, all games have that debug menu right (maybe it doesn't look like that but you know what I mean.)? How useful is this anyways?

true, there is an easier and better way, Action Replay for Nintendo DS

I use a ds emulator called iDeaS, which has a debug function. I can pause my game and use it anytime. :p

[blacknumbers]

That is not the only way. You could use an action replay, plus you can do this with more games, not just with sm64ds. Anyway, this is useful to some coders because if you read all my lnks under the video link, you will know what everything means on the screen.

[13draconus_maximus13]

Yeah, I read them. Isn't that similar to the disassembler which comes with Visual Boy Advance. Cuz that's what I meant with iDeaS and stuff.

[blacknumbers]

oh sorry, I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to the guy who said that was the only way to find the debug screen.

Anyway, can you give me a link to the iDeas emulator please, I am in a hurry.

Thanks, I am going to keep that in mind!

good point. WTF IS DEBUGGING

[13draconus_maximus13]

The debug screen is comparable to a disassembler which can be triggered while playing.
