| Stage select: all 34 + hidden stages too | 55 entries in the JP stage table | S2 |
| Saved with Unlock everything on, then a cold boot without codes | EXTRA MENU and 154/154 stay. Every flag is still set, and the rebuilt stage table has the 34 entries the game unlocks itself. | S4 |
The single-character codes run on the same, now-verified addresses (S1 for each one individually).
**Append Edition: not run.** At boot the disc says that it is an append disc and needs a GUILTY GEAR XX ΛCORE disc to start. The Accent Core disc used for testing is the US one, and our test harness cannot swap discs. The Append port therefore stays at S1 (static map only).
