1Note: This patch just removes all saved game data from the Cart version. There is already a clean version of the Disk version. Sealed version is available on LuigiBlood's site

Debug Menu Controller Code
------------------------------------------
(Press and hold below buttons holding A last while highlighting Start Game on the Main Menu)
R + Left C + Right C + Z + A** TYCONF.SU option 15 WILL CRASH PJ64 and an ED64v2.5 or below. All other flash carts and the 64DD itself function just fine with option 15.
It works fine on the actual 64DD hardware, and even allows you to change Doshin's size with the left/right on the Dpad. On the ED64 v2.5, it crashes the game during the intro and corrupts the SD card so that any game you load after that will be corrupted. I had to use SD Formatter to reformat the card before it would work again. Other options seem just fine. I've played a couple days with day set to 48, Land overlay, Monyu A Time at 50, Monyu B Time at 50, 2nd Kyojin + on, and 3rd Kyojin + on.
It only works on new games, so you must either use a clean ROM or delete your save game. The code has been tested on the cart version using an ED64 v2.5, v3.0 and 64drive, and on the disk version in PJ64 and on the 64DD using the actual disk. Further instructions are available in the Debug v0 download include a patch that turns it on without the controller code.
