Pause during gameplay and press . The game will unpause to confirm correct entry. From now on, the following debugging features will be enabled:

  • Press  SELECT  to bring up the status screen and select the fifth option for the options menu. There will now be a fifth menu option in there with features such as a map select and a sound test[3].
  • Press  SELECT  when messages are displayed in the overworld (such as during a conversation with an NPC) to display a flag editor[3].

Note that pausing the game again will disable these features, and so the code must be re-entered.
