Unused Game Content ~ Game Boy Controller Kensa Cartridge Unused DMG Aging Test (SGB)

Описание: http://tcrf.net/Game_Boy_Controller_K...

Nintendo basically hacked the Game Boy Test Cartridge to start off at the Controller Test Screen. Did they take a the first step of a small initiate to save money by planning to use less (presumably EPPROMS) chips for the test Cartridges?

The Game Boy Controller Kensa Cartridge also has a few oddball tricks up its sleeve!

Lastly, there are at least two Game Boy Test Cartridges that has not been dumped yet.

Two unused songs were likely used to test the Game Boy audio system as part of the DMG test. Game Genie code ??7-01A-E6A will play either of the two during the Controller Test, while Gameshark code 01??E8DF will play the unused music anywhere. Replace ?? in the codes with one of the following song IDs:

Song ID: 01

Song ID: 02

Unused DMG Test

Where did Mario's tail go?

Game Genie code 072-D4F-80E will start a DMG hardware test. Raccoon Marios will march around a giant pillar, followed by a palette test sequence, and title screens from Super Mario Land and Alleyway will scroll away, resetting back to the DMG Test screen.

The Japanese text reads "CPU Inner RAM .... OK" and "Timer Error".

Aging Test Message

Game Genie code 0D2-D4F-80E will display a message upon starting up. Translates to "Aging Test complete". Likely refers to the internal name of the Test Cartridge, which is "DMG AGING TEST".

Unused Graphics

Several graphics are found within the Test Cartridge, some are familiar and others are anyone's guess. None of the graphics are visible during the final sequence of the DMG Test where the title screens scroll.
