Exploring the OverBlood 2 Debug Menu
In the process of putting together this website I came across a page on The Cutting Room Floor detailing the debug info for OverBlood 2.
After getting into the debug menu and taking some time to play around, I recorded the below video in which you can take a look at some of the areas you cannot freely explore during a regular play-through of the game, see some weapons not accessible during the regular game and more…
For anyone interested in exploring the debug mode themselves, here is how I did it…
Using the ePSXe emulator and a Japanese ROM file, OverBlood 2’s debug menu can be accessed by loading the following cheat codes;
#Debug menu
D00D36A0 0001
300D36A7 0001
Once the cheat codes have loaded, simply start the game before activating them. After the cheats are activated, press “L2” during gameplay and you should see the debug menu – this did take some trial and error to get working, so be patient.
Once you are in the debug menu, you are able to jump to the following locations within the game using the screen which displays “Episode”, “Block”, “Localno” and “Program” – simply input the following codes;

I’d like to give a huge shout out to Tunedi for helping me access OverBlood 2’s debug menu, and also for providing all of the above codes – ultimately making this post possible.
