Debug menu is more interesting than you'd think. It has a display buffer that can be used at any time for any purpose. That's 0x42A0-5880 in the 21990, or 80025030-80026610 in memory.
You can write ASCII messages to it one character at a time. Format is:
0x0 1 text character to write
0x1 1 color index. 0 is nothing, up to 30 (0x1F)

Oddly, each sequential entry goes down a column. Each column has 0x23 entries, so just add 0x46 to the previous write to display the next character in the string. Actual size is 0x50 x 0x23.
Colors are indexed at 80026610 and 80026710, up to 0x20 entries in each table. The first table defines the foreground or text color, and the second table the background. You can set the background invisible or to some other color for easier visibility.

Guess you could make a memory editor display with this, or write debug messages to screen. Heck, turn it into an IF interpretter ;*) Feed a string A0 to 7000B1E8 to display it. Remember debug does not need to be active to do this!

+_+

What's all this without an example?
You'll probably want to try this on an emulator, since TVs might cut off the edge of the screen. Here's an infamous message, showing the power and glory of this amazing feature:

Oh my that's a classic. I can think of a lot of cool uses for it, ex disp # of guards left alive, etc

[DK25]

What does it say? im blind. even with full screen.

Time for radorn's WILD and probably unrealizable dreams.

We have an inventory for weapons and gadgets. What about a similar thing for targets?
For example, in a mission, you could be given orders to locate/kill/protect/whatever a certain NPC (which would have to be made to have a certain distinguishable look, of course). It could be used as a means for MI6's intel to give you the look of that character.
I don't know how character animation works in the game, or if it would be possible to use animable objects within the watch, so, maybe you could use just the head.

Just throwing ideas in.

Wasn't there a time in the BETA where Connery was with two ZMG's in the watch?

That shot was actually a combination of two press release shots (I think both are on Sub's new beta page). They simply cropped Connery from the one and pasted him into the watch menu for whatever reason. The screenshot also has "walther ppk" "greened out" (but silenced ppk and tt33 are still plainly visible) for some reason.

[radorn]

Heh, I didn't think of that image, but yeah, it's nothing like what I'm talking about.
The same connery in whute tuxedo used in that "official 'shop" (to call it something) with a ZMG is also available out there, so it's definitelly not a shot of an actual feature.

[TimEh]

hahahaha. nice msg. cool feature

[radorn]

I'm afraid I goofed and posted all that stuff about the menu with faces and all that in the wrong thread.
I intended to post it in the thread about the 6th tab of the watch, not this
I apologize, guys

Would it be possible to move it there?
