…Yeah nah like hang on mate. I think I'm gonna need the steps of how to break the game explained here. I have a moral obligation to break the game. Well, if you could call it a game.
So you can find it in the NI set I know you totally don't have, the ROM's MD5 is 51091A6D773823B8731240676D9D25CF.
Step 1: Enter literally anything into all text fields you're presented with on startup (so much personal info for a fucking PDA cart on a GBx…)
Step 2: Eventually you get a really sparse desktop thing, mash B till you get to a wheel-style menu.
Step 3: Select "Friends" > "About Me"
Step 4: Edit "First Name" to be max length (it literally doesn't matter what you enter as long as you fill the character slots, we're just pushing a later field further up a buffer)
Step 4: Scroll down to bottom info page
Step 5: Either the "Favorite TV Show" or "School" fields will do, pick one. (TODO: see if this matters.)
Step 6: Fill the character slots, then backspace 2. Add any character, the character changes what you get. Several land in RAM, but a lowercase A (mind the auto-capitalization) gives a good graphical payload. (Please note: field won't be editable after you hit Enter on the OSK due to being saved to SRAM, save a state!)
Step 7: Hit the OSK's Enter key.
Step 8: Wait a second or 3.
Step 9: grats
EDIT: we're steamrolling C7C1 specifically as that's the one that makes it shit the bed.
