Chrono Cross Demo (Square's Preview 5) Debug Mode - RGB Debug Menu (Beta)

I have managed to force the Chrono Cross Demo from Square's Preview 5 (the demo disc that came with Seiken Densetsu 4) to run in debug mode!

It's an awesome discovery to say the least!
The game contains dozens of debug menu's for all kinds of fancy stuff!

A rough list of what I have found so far:
- RGB Debug for characters, screen, text windows etc.
- Player Model Rotation Debug
- Some debug info displayed at the top of the screen
- Access the debug room from anywhere in the game
- Access ANY Event in ANY room (you can replay them again and again)
- Roomwarp
- Music Select
- Party Select
- Item Debug
...and some more where I am clueless about their purpose.

I will upload GameShark codes for the debug mode and a small documentation of it's features to my website within the next days!

Too bad that the chronocompendium is no longer involved in hacking...

I am sure they would've loved to see this stuff...

Curse you SquareEnix, thanks for chasing away the last bunch of loyal Chrono

fans with your C&D letter!

I will keep hacking the Chrono games whether you like it or not!

@CelicetheGreat

Thanks!

It will look even cooler when I show the true power of it! ;)

You can visit locations from the Alternate World and even areas like Lucca's burning house in the Chrono Cross Demo thanks to the debug mode!

I'd never thought that those places would exist on the demo disc...

There sure is a lot of beta stuff to discover in these otherwise unreachable places!

@upaluppa Ha ha ha, amen. I applaud your determination! :D

I would love to see a rom hack of chrono cross personally, with most of the playable characters cut out and rewritten to focus and develop more on characters like Kid and Glenn while cutting irrelevant characters to the story like Rico.

But I aint gonna get my hopes up xD
