Dark City Floorboards

Owing to my being busy with thesis write-up and other commitments, along with gradually preparing what will when finished be my personal website and weblog continuation, I've been rather remiss in posting material here recently: I think I altogether missed writing about another unused scene in SaGa Frontier which I managed to activate with a little RAM manipulation. (Following a suggestion in the comments, it turned out that this map has a warp to 2nd Division—next to Hiroyuki Kuwata, of course.) Anyway: following a lead here, since I happened to have once made a location code for Sword of Mana, I thought I'd look around the Hot House maps to see whether the missing 'Hot House - Pet' map was lurking there; instead, I found a helpfully labelled debug room which from what I can find seems to be previously unrecorded for posterity.




Since my room change code behaves a bit oddly (producing different results depending on the exit used on the previous map), I can't be certain the 'Pet' map isn't there, but since the debug room seems to come sequentially next to the Hot House maps, one possibility is that it overwrote the former Pet room.
