Persona 2: Innocent Sin is the first half of the Persona 2 duology, and the only one that Western audiences originally didn't get - until the PSP era, in which it was the only one we did get. Thanks, Atlus.

To do: There's apparently a unused boss called "Devil Joker" who has animations, sprites, and the boss fight itself in the game files. Check that out and record footage of it.

Unused voices and Music

There exists unused dialouge and music from the game.

The unused dialouge is when the party faces Devil Joker, a unused boss event that's still in the game, although unused. As well unused dialouge from Tatsuya, who barely talks at all due to being the silent protagonist of Innocent Sin.

Eikchi theme is unused, although strangely remade in the PSP remaster, went unused again. However they eventually get used in it's sequel, Eternal Punishment for the PSP.

There's a unused theme in the game when the player get defeated, however it's impossible to hear it in the game because once the player gets defeated, they're immediately sent to philemon lair, and thus hear Philemon theme until they are sent to the main menu.

Shop Test Menu

Using the following Action Replay / GameShark codes will replace all shop and Velvet Room menus with a test menu that contains almost every possible shop menu selection at once:

Debug Patch

Innocent Sin has some extensive debug features which can be enabled using a patch (in both US and Japanese versions). The sequel has a mostly identical menu, as well as a leaked prerelease build revealing several additional debug features that were more or less completely removed from both that game and probably also this one.

Download Persona 2 Debug Patches File: persona2debug.zip (8 KB (compressed)) (info)

After applying the patch, press Select+Start at nearly any point during the game (starting from the title screen) to access the menu, which has various sub-menus corresponding to the game's multiple programmers. The shoulder buttons can be used to increase/decrease selected values on certain menus.

Along with Eternal Punishment, this game had various debug text removed from the final executable, causing a couple of the remaining debug features to have much less useful functionality than they used to.

Michi Menu

The first menu is named for Michishito Ishizuka (credited as system programmer) and contains these options:

• 
  Stable Random (on/off)


• 
  Sound Test: opens a detailed sound test screen


• 
  Movie / Movie Volume: shows FMVs

Sound Test

This sound test allows you to play various sounds (primarily voices), view info about memory usage, and more. Select cycles through the on-screen windows and Start opens a menu allowing you to exit back to the main debug menu (along with a disabled "Load from PC" option).

Aso Menu

The second menu is named for Hisakata Aso (window and shop programmer) and contains these options:

• 
  edit
  
  
  
  • 
    Plate Window Color: Allows you to preview various window background styles. Hold L1 to move the window, R1 to resize it, L2/R2 to cycle through window styles, and Select/Start to cycle through window types.
  
  
  • 
    Bit Editor: Not really usable in the final game due to the missing text. The version of the menu in the prerelease build of Eternal Punishment supposedly allows you to load/save and manipulate game data, but the menu doesn't seem fully functional in that version either.
  
  
  
  


• 
  debug
  
  • 
    Summon Demo Message: view graphics/dialogue of different Personas
  
  


• 
  test
  
  
  
  •

  • 
    List Window: shows a list of items with their buy/sell(?) prices
  
  
  • 
    Stationary Graphic: allows you to view various graphics using the D-pad. Pressing Select switches to a screen which lets you test color fades using Up/Down.
  
  
  
  


• 
  name entry: Tests the character name entry screen.

Summon Demo Message

This sprite shows the name, summon message, sprite, and tarot card of a single Persona at a time; you can cycle through them using Left/Right.

Font

This screen shows the entire alphabet rendered in one of two fonts. Available controls:

Message

This screen is mainly for testing dialogue boxes, but also shows a list of character names near the top of the screen.

In Eternal Punishment, this screen also draws several miniature text boxes in the background and allows you to cycle through various test messages for the dialog box, but here this screen seems to always crash before getting that far.

Kosaka Menu

The third menu is named for Yujiro Kosaka (2D map and command programmer) and contains these options:

• 
  2D Map: go to one of the overworld locations (note that attemping to enter a location from the overworld will cause a crash)


• 
  Command Test: test the ingame menu, from which you can also load/save a game


• 
  Set Parameter For Debug: opens a menu allowing you to modify various game variables


• 
  Title: show the title screen (surprise!)

Set Parameter For Debug

This menu allows you to edit various properties of the currently-loaded game, including money, items, party members, Personas, and more.

t-sakamo@ Menu

The fourth menu is named for Takumi Sakamoto (event programmer) and contains these options:

• 
  EVENT_GROUP / EVENTA / EVENTB / VELVETTE: supposed to allow you to view various cutscenes and other ingame events, but does not work properly in the final game


• 
  NU-DBMENU
  
  
  
  • 
    顔 (face): view character portraits
  
  
  • 
    ブルブルマッサージ ("buruburu massage"): controller vibration test(?)
  
  
  • 
    MUSIK: music test
  
  
  • 
    数字プレート: numeric window viewer
  
  
  • 
    バランスシートMAKER ("balance sheet maker"): prompts you to press a button, then dumps a bunch of unknown text to the debug console
  
  
  
  


• 
  MAP FACTORY: no longer functional


• 
  UNIT VIEWER: allows you to place various sprites in a mockup battle scene


• 
  EVENT A/B EDITER / EFFECTS!! / HIT DEBUG!!: also all no longer functional

Portrait Viewer

This screen shows two character portraits facing each other and allows you to cycle through them using the D-pad (for the left side) and face buttons (for the right side). Pressing Select inverts the colors on both currently displayed portraits and pressing Start returns to the debug menu.

The default image on both sides is a dummy/placeholder image, which appears several times throughout the selection of images.

Music Test

This is another sound test screen, this one much simpler than the other and primarily focused on playing music. The "XA" option also allows you to play voice clips.

Numeric Window Viewer

This screen shows a small window with the number 0, allowing you to freely position it on screen and showing its coordinates and various memory-related statistics.

Unit Viewer

The unit viewer allows you to basically create a mockup battle scene with a specific environment/background. Controls:

• 
  D-pad: move cursor


• 
  L1/R1/L2/R2: rotate camera


• 
  Triangle: show/hide debug info


• 
  X (US) / Circle (JP):

Pressing X/O button leads to a Japanese text. Surprisingly, it's actually telling you what character you'll make appear on the map. It goes from 1 to 309. It's a very detailed list, so let's get down on it.

After selecting a character, press X/O brings up a list for what to do with it. You can bring a another character in the map by moving the red circle from the other character.

1. Just let's you bring up a another character.

2.Repeats the character animation by pressing X/O.

3. Leads to a completely short list of itself.
All of these basically turns the head on some characters. Rest will crash the game.

4.Basically turns the characters around if you desire.

5. Use L2 and R2 to turns the character around.

6. Leads to a different short list. With this, you can make the character run or walk by pressing the red cursour on something. Imagine moving around by clicking.

7. Like 6, but they don't walk via animation.

8. You can make the character jump to area by moving the cursor over.

9. Change on the lightning on the character.

10. Same as #9.

11. Change colors on the charchter.

12. Sends you back out of the menu.

13.You know how Persona looks in this game via color? You can do that here.

14. Increases the shadow behind their feet.

15. Shows a graph the area models.

16. Shows a complete list of animation the characters can do.

17. Deletes the model.

• 
  Start: Effects that causes the enviroment to slightly change.

TOD: Things that messes with the models of the environment. It can result from the 3D models of the area to bounce, fall, or rise to the sky, camera to spin around the area, makes the area glitch with random text noises that can possibly lead the game to crash. Would not recommend to mess with unless you can read Japanese.

AIRTH QUAKE: Causes the area to shake, depending on how from 1 to 7.

CLUT: Supposedly, changes the color of the area or sprites. It either doesn't work, or needs to work on a specific area. Would look further if you can read Japanese.

MODEL BLIGHT: Same thing as CLUT, but now you can see what model is highlighted.

RASTER_TEST: There's 5 options that purely messes on how the area looks. Would look more into it, if you can read Japanese.

Takagi Menu

The fifth menu, named for lead and dungeon programmer Hidetoshi Takagi, contains only the option "GO! Dungeon" which, predictably, allows you to warp to a dungeon of your choosing. In the final builds of this game this doesn't quite work as intended, always placing you out-of-bounds.

A small, empty test map based on Seven Sisters HS (but much smaller and with no NPCs or encounters) is available as option 27, but is not usable from this menu for the same reason as the others.

Katsuyama Menu

The sixth menu is named for Futoshi Katsuyama (battle programmer) and contains battle-related options:

• 
  Battle Start!! - start a battle with the parameters selected below
  
  
  
  • Rotation
  
  
  • LoadSystemType
  
  
  • BGM Type
  
  
  • Btl Evt
  
  
  • Contact
  
  
  
  

Nagai Menu

The seventh and last menu, named for casino programmer Yasuaki Nagai, allows you to go to one of the casino games. You may wish to give yourself some coins with the Set Parameter menu in order to make the games actually playable.
