The Debug Code and You - SmithyGCN - 08-26-2008
DEBUG CODES
What are they? They are simply put, the codes to unlocking a debug/mode/room/etc. in a game. Some games have more than one.
What is a debug room/mode/etc. and what do they do for us?
A debug mode/room is an area normally inaccessible to the players that the programmers and designers used as a means of testing out certain parts and animations of the game.
A debug mode/room can hold many wonders for a ripper as it contains nearly everything in the game plus some unused things maybe. Each thing viewed makes ripping a lot easier and can make a game that would normally take months to fully rip easily fully ripped in as little as a few days.
Here I will share the ones I have found (and give credit to the people who found them). You are more than welcome to share ones you have found or cracked to add to this list.
I got inspired to make this topic a while back when I found a great debug code for Breath of Fire 2 and when Ton uncovered one for SMRPG.
I'd love to rip these games myself using these codes, but I have been rather busy as of late and am leaving it to anyone willing to take it upon themselves to rip their favorite game.

Wario Land 4
Debug Room (make sure you're on the world map on a level, Palm Tree Paradise is the best level for this)
Note: This uses Memory Viewer and not the usual cheat insertion dialogues.
Type this in the address search 03000000
You should see this: 03000000: 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Now change it so it looks like this: 03000000: 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Now enter the stage and you're there! It's a lot easier than it looks.

Breath of Fire
-Debugger Controller 2-

Notes: Save your current game, reset the game, and load it, and you'll have control of the debugger using Controller 2.

Breath of Fire II
-Debug Menu-
64FB-8D04
3CFB-8D64
Notes: Press A/B/X/Y/L Button/R Button on Controller 2 for Debug Menus.
You'll have to enter or exit the normal menu using Controller 1 to use another Debugger button after exiting the last one. This code is a Walk through walls code, a no-random-battles code, a warp-to-location code, and a memory viewer, among other things
Credit to: Ugetab
-Debug Menu Alternative-
E7FB-870F
DDFB-876F
36FB-87AF
Notes: Reset Game To Enter Alternate Debugger
This includes more general debugging perameters, such as background tests, object viewers, and a sound test. Hold L+R to exit individual menus

Earthbound
-Debug Menu-
6B84-7D04
3184-7D64
3E84-7DA4
Notes: This code above lets you enter the debug mode screen with kirby right after you load a save game. When you exit the debug mode screen through some of the options, you'll still be warped to Tenda Village, but the options aren't pink anymore. You can leave the Village through the doors now, and you can access the debug options as much as you like now without the game freezing on you.

-'Apple' Debug Mode-
3874-5409
6D74-5469
A974-5769
Notes: Note that the debug menu isn't in english. Talk to the air to access.

-'Higher Tier' Debug Mode-
1782-ED05
4382-ED65
AF82-EDA5
Notes: Use the town map to access. Choose 'Apple' to get to the same menu as the first debug menu code. Note that you can still access the town map by pressing X with the town map in your inventory
Credit to: Ugetab
-'Highest Tier' Debug Mode-

Notes: Must first activate "Get Flammie Code": 7E2E9701. Then, enable this code. Call Flammie and go to the northeast section on map. In the area between Altena and Naverri you will see a single white square. This is Debug Island. Fly into the square to enter the area.

Super Mario World
DDA6-DF07
Notes: Press L + A twice to make Mario invincible and to be able to move him anywhere you want. Press L + A again to go back to normal gameplay. Also, if you have the cape, it allows you to fly from a standing start, and ride the top of the screen over obstacles if you don't let go of the button

3FC2-37C7
EDC2-3717
4C23-3F47
Notes: Talk to person in the entrance of the Elder's house for Debug Menu. Disable the code after you've used it, and save your game if you want. When using the 'Debug' option, you'll spend quite a while leveling up. Leave the room and enter again before talking to the person for other debug options. Each time you use the 'Debug' option, it sets your EXP to 90000(Level 34), adds 1 of all types of magic, adds 35 Magirocks, adds 1 of several types of armor, and adds 1 of several different weapons. It will only add up to 8 of each item, for reasons that almost assuredly relate to using the option too often during debugging and the game glitching for the programmers

Miles, before I add your codes, please tell me who to credit for their creation. I don't want a fight on our hands.

Fixed.
RE: The Debug Code and You - Linkin800 - 08-30-2008
Oh boy a thread about Debug stuff. Just my luck! I got one for Wario Land 4 but you have to use VBA's (Visual Boy Advance) memory viewer to do it. (and no their is no other way to do this I think)
Wario Land 4 Debug Room (make sure you're on the world map on a level, Palm Tree Paradise is the best level for this)
Type this in the address search 03000000
You should see this: 03000000: 00 00 01 00 00 00 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Now change it so it looks like this: 03000000: 00 00 00 02 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
Now enter the stage and your their! It's alot easyer then it looks.
RE: The Debug Code and You - SmithyGCN - 08-30-2008
Please tell me whom to give the credit to for creating this code before I add it unless it's you? In which case, I will credit you.
