Pac-Attack Pac-Panic Unused Super Game Boy SOUND 3 4117000200 B936
Super Game Boy SOUND functions were programmed yet never were finished in Pac-Attack (Pac-Panic) for the Game Boy. Thanks, Namco. (This was also the case with Wario Land II Monochrome version only, and a few other games, each featuring different SOUND listings.) There is also a SOU_TRN 49 register file transfer command that was never finished along with accompanying BGM flags that suggest a Super Game Boy soundtrack or the use of sampling data was underway at an unknown point in time during development. The programming is also present in the SCE version as well.
Game Genie codes will play the unused SOUND A and BGM flags replacing MASK_EN 03: ??1-76C-6EB + ??1-98C-6EB

All that remains of a debug menu starts at 0x5C39 and 0x5E07 in the ROM text in all versions.

There are unfortunately no valid pointers nor remaining programming associated to the debug menu.
Lastly, in the European version of Ms Pac-Man and Pac-Man SCE, the Super Game Boy features were disabled (setting the flag at 0x0146 to 00). Game Genie code 031-46F-E6A will enable them. Could have been an oversight.
