Notes

At the time of release, this is the only known Debug build of Sonic Heroes, but it does not boot under retail hardware or emulation without hacking.

This was in an unlabeled slot on the NPDP cartridge.

Error Log

N[OSREPORT]: USB Init Error<< Dolphin SDK - PAD release build: Aug 6 2003 04:30:02 (0x2301) >

This build is likely looking for an USB adapter like the GCP-2000.

Gecko Codes

This code will allow you to run the game under emulation and/or retail hardware by stubbing out the USB adapter the game is looking for.

[Gecko]

$Stub out USB I/O Calls [Sewer56]

042190dc 4e800020

04218e10 4e800020

04218f94 4e800020

// Commented:

80017338 60000000 // NOP Call to function that inits USB I/O

80218a2c 4e800020 // Stub out HIOEnumDevices

80218af4 4e800020 // Stub out HIOInit

80219274 4e800020 // Stub out HIORead

802190dc 4e800020 // Stub out HIORead (Overload)

80218e10 4e800020 // Stub out HIOReadMailbox

80218f94 4e800020 // Stub out HIOWriteMailbox

This code will allow you to boot into the regular main menu as opposed to "Easy Menu".

[Gecko]

$Replace Easy Menu with System Mode X [Sewer56]

C2022C90 00000004

7C0C0378 2C050003

40820008 38A00001

7D806378 90A3FF78

60000000 00000000

// Commented:

Replace 38A0000X (end of third line) with desired system mode:

0 = PAL Select

1 = Menu

2 = InGame

3 = EasyMenu

4 = Credits

5 = EasyMenuMovie

Please note that booting in modes other than 0, 1, 3, 5 will require some extra codes to initialize things.
