Debug mode, often mistaken for Cheat Mode, is the mode in which the game boots with in-game debugging tools enabled. Debugging tools can be accessed in Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, Jak 3, and Jak X: Combat Racing. These tools were only ever meant to be used by the developers at Naughty Dog to help diagnose bugs during the development cycle of the Jak and Daxter games.
Originally, debug mode could only be accessed by booting the Jak and Daxter games on a PlayStation 2 TOOL (DTL-T10000H) development console. But, with the advancements in hardware emulation and the native porting of the Jak trilogy to PC by the OpenGOAL team, debug mode has been made accessible to the public.
