Note: All addresses below are specific to Pokemon Ruby v1.0 (U).
SOGABE Menu
Function Address: 0814A414
This one isn't that impressive, but it's a debug menu nonetheless. The options are as follows:
[tt]1. 1st round
2. 2nd round
3. 3rd round
4. 4th round
5. 5th round
6. 6th round
7. 7th round
8. 8th round[/tt]
I'm not really sure what these do, but it might be associated with badge limitations or something.

MORI Menu
Function Address: 08083F6C
This one's a bit more useful. The options are as follows:
[tt]1. Search a child
2. Egg
3. Egg (male)
4. 1000 steps
5. 10000 steps
6. MOVE TUTOR
7. Breed an egg
8. Long name
9. Pokeblock Case[/tt]
Most are intuitive as to what they do, but #1, #8, and #9 might be confusing. "Search a child" shows the contents of an egg if it's at the front of your party, while "Long name" replaces the name of the first Pokemon in your party with a long, generic name (ななまぽ, or "Long Pokemon name"). "Pokeblock Case" deletes all of the Pokeblocks in your Pokeblock Case.

MATSUDA Menu
Function Address: 080A9B28
Lastly, there's the MATSUDA menu, which mostly deals with Contests. The options are as follows:
[tt]1. Contest
2. Contest results
3. Contest (comm.)
4. Init comm. data
5. Set highest score
6. Reset highest score
7. Set all art museum items[/tt]

If you select the "Contest" or "Contest (comm.)" options, you'll be brought to an interesting interface. Here, you can set all of the parameters for a Contest (trainers, Pokemon, stats, rank, moves, etc.) and initiate the Contest by pressing the START button. The bottom-right option exits the interface.
