This page details one or more prototype versions of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest.
To do: Move back to OoT namespace now that non-MQ debug is available. |
Known as the Debug ROM, this is a European version of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest that still retains its debug features. It was used by testers at Nintendo of Europe to test the GameCube version prior to its release.
Now you are going to inject this into the OoT debug ROM. In your modified adult Link file (which still should be open in HxD) Right ClickSelect all and then Right ClickCopy. Now open up a OoT debug ROM in HxD as well, and go to the offset 0x00FDC000 (which is the start of adult Link's file in the OoT debug ROM). Here simply Right ClickPaste. OoT Debug ZOBJ List Link Forms NPCs. Child Zelda v2 11 0196D000 - 01989E20. 1.0 Version U Listing, Debug ROM Listing, etc.).
Before the ROM was distributed, the game ID in the header was changed from NZLP to NZLE to have emulators detect the ROM as being American and thus running it at 60Hz speed rather than 50Hz. Its 64 MB size owes to the fact that all of its files are uncompressed.
Several patches are available for the Debug ROM and can be found circulating online. These include a patch that translates the level select into English, and another that repairs a room header, allowing players to access Room 120. Some ROMs available for download may already be pre-patched.
Test Maps Nine new maps exclusive to the Debug ROM, including several from very early pre-release screenshots. |
Console Output Strings Someone was stuck in their cubicle a little too long. |
General Functions General button commands. |
Map Select Travel through space and time in an instant, without an ocarina! |
Inventory Editor Instant gratification for when you can't be bothered to get things legitimately. |
Actor Debugger Didn't your mother ever tell you that it's rude to point? |
Memory Editor Really want to get your paws sticky? Try messing with the game's memory. |
Camera Editor Can't stand the view? We have a fix for that. |
Audio Editor Jam along with Kondo to be the next Ocarina Hero! |
Event Editor Accomplish great feats without lifting a finger. |
The Debug ROM contains some unique unused text as well.
This text (complete with original Engrish) appears in the Majora's Mask crash debugger if you go through each and every page, but does not normally appear in the Ocarina of Time crash debugger.
This text appears right before the Audio Debugger text. Apparently, there was supposed to be some kind of Ocarina key editor.
Evidently, the Super Mario Club had their own debug toolkit, and it's not the one documented here. Judging from where it's stored in the ROM, it was intended to appear on the Nintendo 64 logo screen.
