In English Ruby Debug 1.0, at 0x390300 in the ROM, (and in other versions/languages in a different location) the following bytes can be found:
Code:
03 06 04 FF 00 00 00 00 00 00 05 09 0A 0C 0D 0E
0F FF
These are the options selectable via the test menu (Select on title screen), 3 on the first page and 7 on the second;
the range of valid options is 0 to F but not all of them are ordinarily accessible, have fun :)

Yeah, localisers don’t need access to most of Japanese debug menu functions.

Is it possible to make an ips patch enabling the remaining functions on localised versions?

the Japanese version is the same...

A premade patch wouldn't be too practical ((2 games * 2 versions * 5 languages + 2*1*1 for the third English version) * how many custom menus you could think of...)
but you certainly can find the above sequence and paste for example 00010203040506FF00000708090A0B0C0DFF over it!

    @ColdBlitz, i forgot breath of the wild released for the Wii u

    $60 for a game that's a decade old might be unheard of on PC but actually is not uncommon on consoles

    especially Nintendo because they only ever lower the price of games when they do a greatest hits/platinum hits/players choice re-release
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and the HD collections released for 7th gen consoles too
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but they don't seem to have done any of those for the switch yet and maybe never will
