Nice writeup, I had found these codes also but never thought anyone cared about this game.

Did you know this game (and several other no cliche titles) use a custom event driven VM scripting language to control level design? I am working on reverse engineering it, and eventually building a compiler so that new levels can be modded in.

Luckily we have some uncompiled source examples of this language from the agartha leaked devkit

I saw the VM interpreter - interesting that the menus don't use it.

Which other games use it besides Agartha? Toy Racer, I guess?

Yes toy racer uses it. It traces its roots all the way back to Alone in the dark (when No Cliche was known as "Adeline software) - https://github.com/tigrouind/AITD-tools

However it diverged quite a bit since then

Excellent!

The cheat code "Access final mission: Y, X, B, A, A, B" was already known - https://www.consoledatabase.com/cheats/segadreamcast/toycommander/

I repeat, it would be fascinating to read or learn something new about these games:

Jeremy McGrath Supercross 2000 (DC) (US_EU):

This game contains the strings "cheat" and "debug."

Maken X (DC)

MDK2 (DC) - I'd be interested to see if you could further refine your patch for this game. It would also be great if you could unlock the free camera mode and levitation - https://ibb.co/0pTVSTgC

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (DC) - debug screen

Test Drive V-Rally (DC) (US) and V-Rally 2: Expert Edition (DC) (EU)

Dino Crisis" (DC) - You wrote that this game has several uninteresting debug screens. Perhaps there are other games with debug screens, and we could write a full article about them.

Thanks - strange that ConsoleDB has the wrong effect listed for the Y, X, B, A, A, B code.

I will have more Dreamcast articles soon. Next will be Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2.
