There's supposed to be a debug menu in the game but I'm completely unable to find it. I was wondering if anybody from here is able to spot it.

Trying to open that door results into that:



Here is the beta build for anyone that wants to experiment with it:
https://mega.co.nz/#!Tk4VRRga!ePR4WVXbdkSFRACz05lyqCR7cd9oFhfgjX45uJ_0deM

Also there's supposed to be a flag that would boot the game into retail mode.
Don't get fooled by the "Demo" mode and the intro screen, they were most possibly experimenting with a possible demo release before the actual retail game release and it's just booting in Demo mode by default, but more or less it's a clunky, kinda incomplete final version of the game, even the endings are there.

I guess also it would be a great idea for someone to make a page about the game, there are alot of pre-release videos/images and that Beta build should be flooded with pre-release stuff.

if I remember correctly, it is necessary to decrypt the boot.bin before editing it

It's not encrypted, you can edit it straight away, give it a check.

well, you can replace this file with same file from the retail USA version:
sh.arc/mainmenu.xml
and you will get this on the main screen of the beta/demo build:

but it will not work. If you'll try to load game - the game will not let you do that. You will hear sound, that mean you can't pass.

anyway, here is filelist between this ULET-00870 and retail version ULUS-10285 (this files are missing in demo build).

sh.arc:
CEnemyBehaviour.2BackNoTNF
CIGCCharacter.DahliaVisible
CInventoryItemDef.Notes_BS_NursesHat
CPlayerBehaviour.TravisWithAlessaCartographer
LocaleUIEng
LocaleUIFre
LocaleUIGer
LocaleUIIta
LocaleUIJap
LocaleUISpa
controls_combatJAP.xml
controls_normJAP.xml
mainmenuFRE.xml
mainmenuGER.xml
mainmenuITA.xml
mainmenuJAP.xml
mainmenuSPA.xml
mapviewer.xml
acc_14.jpg
tip_10FRE.jpg
tip_10GER.jpg
tip_10ITA.jpg
tip_10JAP.jpg
tip_10SPA.jpg
tip_12FRE.jpg
tip_12GER.jpg
tip_12ITA.jpg
tip_12JAP.jpg
tip_12SPA.jpg
tip_13.jpg


sh.arc/inventory.arc
CInventoryItemDef.Notes_BS_NursesHat

IGC.ARC:
IGC_FlaurosDeath.IGCStream

other files are in the archive. I'll check files sizes later.
---
ULET00870/PSP_GAME/SYSDIR/BOOT.BIN
this file contains start level string and maybe debug menu
(offsets are for BOOT.BIN file, that was modified under the MrMongoose's SH0 Demo Autopatch utility)

0x1D9624 - offset of the starting location, examples:
IntroRoad - opening
MO_1_EmployeeBays - motel
HO_1_Lobby - hospital

0x1E13C0 - offset of something, that need to be changed for correct starting location
O_HO - opening
Street - motel
TO_HO - hospital
---
also some visual changes:
demo - retail

hope this will help

upd: link fixed
upd2: link fixed [2]
