Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner proves in so many ways that this series is more than just a bonus game that comes with a demo for a more well-known series.

Hmmm...
To do:
  • Document the demo version and its debug menu.
  • Evidently, the PAL version is enhanced from the original Japanese and US versions of the game and said version was also re-released in Japan. Perhaps this should be investigated and documented. Source

Stage Select Debug Menu

Zone of the Enders 2 Demo - Debug Stage Select.png

Pressing R3 at any time with the below code on will enable a stage select screen. None of the text will render on the retail version of the game. This menu was removed in the special edition versions of the game. The text printing only remains in the demo versions. The above screenshot is from the Japanese demo, while the Europe demo is the same as well.

Debug Logging

Within the game is a stubbed printf function which would have logged various background information to a debug unit. This logs information such as files, movies, maps, and sound data loaded. It would also report errors if any occurred. To re-enable this mode, apply the below code for the US version of the game:

Re-enable printf Messages

If you are playing the game on a regular PlayStation 2, you will need to use a TOOL, RDB, or a debug version of OPL to view the logs. If you are playing on an emulator, you can see this information by enabling the option "Show Console". Below is an example of what type of information gets logged:
