What Xbox 360 games have functional debug menus that have been found? If someone has found a functional, working, debug menu, please list them in the thread. If possible, can you please post a link if it needs a modded file.

TO STAFF: Please delete the posts below, I don't want arguments over silly things.

Pretty much every game has/had a Debug Menu. It's unknown how to trigger it on every game.

I know every game has a debug menu, they use it to debug. I'm asking if there are any games with debug menus left in. Its not that we don't know how to trigger it, that's just PowerPC and HEX to see if it's there. What we know is that debug menus are removed from games once they become gold.

Not all the time. Sometimes they just disable the code which enables it but it's still there.

Exactly, which is what I'm asking about. I know the technology behind how video games are made, I work for a video game company. I only asked if there are any debug menus LEFT in A GAME, if so, what games.

Borderlands, Dead Rising 2, Dead Island, Halo: CEA, THAW 360, and Deus Ex Machina have left over debug menus. Other games I seen with debug menus are review copies.

I do know that on many games the formats change during the development process but for Crysis' sake it didn't. I'm not sure where i implied running alpha levels on the final build was something doable so i don't know where you got that one from.

Then again, you are on the process of checking for locked debug modes. Yet previously you accused people of "posting irrelevant answers", it will probably have a debug but then the next part is enabling it. I don't see how this thread is in the correct category as you are looking for final builds with debug modes left in. It's just still confusing for me.

Final build != Beta

Only 2 people told me proper answers. Dues Ex Human, Fallout New Vegas + 3, and Crysis 2 Alpha. Not many but at least someone answered it.

Thanks Mod.

Apparently Fable still has its developer/debug console left in the code (there's some effort on-going to see if it can be activated).

I seen and I was able to enable wireframe mode on Fable 2 for Xbox. It's as much as I could do before the game broke.

There isn't many games with debug menus, which is why alpha/beta builds of games are better.

Just to add some purpose to this thread you can unlock the debug menu in the retail copy of Full Auto.

Edit the pitaLocal.psc file with notepad and remove the // from the debug feature you want to enable

CoD WaW had some debugging functions you can activate editing the savegame. You can change the controls.
It enables fly-mode, godmode, screenshot function and some other nice features.
The easiest way is to use this tool ( http://digiex.net/downloads/download-ce ... ditor.html ) and a Xbox formatted USB stick.

It depends on the engine but most Unreal Engine titles will still have the developer console enabled for sure. To open this though would require you to create a custom ISO which tweaks the DefaultInput.ini file inside Coalesced.bin so that you could open the developer console with a keyboard key.

I've done some research about the developer console for home consoles and it's a lot more harder then I was expecting. Modifying the defaultinput would do nothing as you can't have the keyboard to work anyway. The XEX has the keyboard function removed and you would need to re-add it into the xex for the game to read inputs. I managed to get a working XEX that reads a .dll for custom code but I have no idea how I'm going to add the keys for each of the text, inputs, and calls.

Ah perhaps it is removed from the "Shipping" build then, maybe only in the debug or release builds. But I have seen screenshots of people using the UE3 ingame console on Gears of War 3 for sure

It's probably the "say" console. Anyone could do that. I know someone who's got an Alpha of Gears 3 and it has the console working fully. It's pretty hard to enable.

As far as I am aware that is the only console UE3 offers...well there is another one used by devs that externally sets out commands. That "say" console/the ingame one is pretty powerful though because it has alot of commands. The "set" value in particular can alter script class' variables drastically. Not to mention "servertravel" allows you to alter the URL variables of lets say bleedout time on Gears 3 so you could do Servertravel mp_blooddrive?Game=GearGameContent.GearGameTDM?Goalscore=12?BleedoutTime=1?GameSpeed=1.4?RoundScore=18 and that would set up a game of Team Deathmatch on the map Blood Drive with a "12 lives" goal, bleedout time of 1 second, altered game speed to go 40% faster than normal and 18 rounds.

Most UE3-based games, most call of duty, and most Halo titles have debug consoles or menus hidden away. Halo-wise they tend to hide them away pretty well, but i know CEA's menu is public.

I managed to get Gears of War 2 and Gears of War 3 debug menus, still looking for more Xbox 360 games with debug menus still within the game.

I know that there is a version of Halo: Reach that has a debug menu, albeit not the final version. It was shown in a presentation when displaying their dynamic rendering capabilities, which was pretty neat. The developer playing it froze all of the characters in place and unlocked the camera and flew around. I don't know if it's been leaked or not yet, but it'd be pretty cool.

Is this the video you are talking about?

That's not the video that I saw. It was a GDC presentation if I remember correctly. The guy froze the game, it looked like the multiplayer map Boneyard, but in Campaign. He flew around showing the various models used at different distances.
