To do: The Japanese release has a larger file size. Document if there is any new in-game content.

Hidden Messages

In many .apt files in data/fe/wii_source, developer messages can be found littered about. These are often repeated several times in the same file.

cool you can read this, there's nothing special written here, enjoy the game :) 

Amazing, you went through all this trouble to see what was written here.

THERE'S NO SECRET MESSAGE, REALLY.

CAN YOUR READ THIS?

It's likely these were written by bored programmers.

Debug

To do: Figure out how to get the debug mode working.

Skate It contains some debugging tools. It is unknown how to activate them.

Debugging Tools

In the data folder, there is a file present named "startup.ini" that contains a lot of debug functions.

Debug Shaders

In data/shaders, there are a plethora of shaders, including dmo_debug_ps.lua and dmo_debug_vs.lua.

Cheats

In data/config, a file is present named input.cfg that details cheats for Own The Lot and Hall of Meat.

Hidden Development Text

When selecting a location in Career mode, blue text appears offscreen which was probably forgotten about by the developers.

• 

In data/state, files named MotionGraph_OnBoard.stategraph and ActionGraph_OnBoard.stategraph are present. At the very bottom of the document, text states:

WARNING: No Action Graph state has been resolved. We need to fix this.

A variation of this text can be found in Default_cameragraph.stategraph, this time reading:

WARNING: No Camera Graph state has been resolved. We need to fix this.

Unknown if these were ever fixed.
