ok guys, saw this today and...

now i wanna know: is it reachable from the PS2? anyone?

It is. I was planning to make a video about it, but I was halfway through making it and realized that it was so boring that no one would actually sit through the entire video unless they really, really wanted to.

If you have a codebreaker or swap magic or whatever, you can use this code:

Debug Mode
003D8FB0 00000001

And the Debug Mode'll kick in after the game loads your savedata.

You can do alot of cool stuff in there, like enable debugging, the Boss Rush characters, view the stages and scroll around them and whatnot. It's neat to play around with... but you'll probably get bored with it after 5 minutes.

honestly i'm entertained by this kind of things

now i need a swap magic coder

Is it possible to do something like this through the PS2 emulator or do you need to have a PS2 to do it?

If your emulator (PCSX2, right?) has the capability of entering action replay or patch codes, yes.

Hmm, it can do patch codes, I need to figure out how to work that, then...

It's relatively easy to get it to work on PCSX2; albeit a bit more confusing than just sticking the code into your codebreaker or whatever. Assuming you're using 9.6, it pretty much goes like this.

1] Go to Misc > Enable Patches
2] While the game is running, go to Misc > Patch Browser
3] Click the "Add RAW" button, and copy/paste the code into the box, then click the "Add" button. In this case it would be - 003D8FB0 00000001
4] Make sure the patch code that pops up is enabled. If it says "No", select it and hit the "Enable/Disable" button.
5] Click the "pnach Writer" button. Change only the "Comment" and "Gametitle" to suit, then hit the "Save" button.
6] Hit the "Exit" button, then go to  File > Run CD/DVD to reset the game.

After the game loads your saved data, you should be at the Debug Menu. Have fun.

Thanks, that worked.  Now I just need to figure out how to actually you know, use this, rofl.
