Not sure if anyone would find any of this interesting or not. Seeing as how this was an H2O game, I was hoping to find some insane, angry rant in the code. No such luck, but I did find (what looks like) a bunch of leftover developmental text:

Crash handling text? I've actually seen this game crash, but I can't remember if that's the text I saw on the screen when it did. May have been.

I've noticed a lot of references to .cpp files. Anyone know what they are?

Character rendering text?

Background rendering text?

Scale and Sphere Radius? Invalid node text...


More of those .cpp file references.

Map data error.

Another .cpp.

Oop! We've got a version number and a compile date!

Another .cpp, and something about a default image? No clue...

Just another one of those.

More .cpp's, and an audio processor - Bubbles??

More of those things.

Yeah, yeah, more...

Another .cpp, and some text that's probably used in-game, except, "That potion cannot be used in Trek mode"? I don't remember the game ever referring to itself in such a meta-fashion.

Do not know what those are, but they look interesting...

Look at that! A reference to something related to the graphics? Apparently provided by someone at Nintendo?

Error messages!

Second time I've seen a "BORG Scene" referenced in these messages. Have no idea what it means.

Well, considering how often the "Release Version" crashes, some info might not have hurt. =P

Another .cpp and error message.

Another .cpp and...The weird thing about this game is that most of its dialogue is in one huge block in the ROM, and is almost unreadable in a hex editor because of the characters that are stuck between letters. But there are a few messages near the beginning of the ROM, far away from the rest of the text, that are perfectly readable, like this one, of all things...

Near the end of the ROM, there's a bunch of these "Expansion" messages between the enemy attack names, which I'm guessing are filler for more attacks that were never put in.

Okay, um... where is there a hockey stick in this game?? Granted, I don't remember every last detail of it, but that seems really out-of-place. And I Googled, "Aidyn Chronicles hockey stick" and it didn't bring up anything enlightening.
There's also a crapload of weirdness near the end of the ROM that I'm going to take a closer look at...
