Ganpuru (Gunple) - Gunman's Proof (Japan) (Prototype)
A super cute Zelda clone game with some really interesting debugging code that I can't seem to access. In game seems very much like the final. The part that is blanked out in the final is not blanked out here.
Intro - Final / Sample
The intro window is a few pixels larger in the final version.
Title - Final / Sample
Title is the same.
Debug Mode / X-MODEM Code
From 0x0000A8 - 0x000200 we see the same 1BPP font seen in later in this ROM and in the final version at 0x005000 - 0x005158. Booting with the 0000 checksum seems to activate the X-Modem code and enters a waiting period.
The weird Ln-MOS mode, as seen on The Cutting Room Floor, also works in the prototype:
There are some development and debugging strings in the binary that aren't in the final build.

This appears to be an X-MODEM debugging solution. English translation for the full strings (provided by blurayno):
- "X-MODEM(128sum)で受信を開始して下さい" -> "Set up the X-MODEM to start receiving data"
- "準備が出来たなら黄色ボタンを押して下さい" -> "Press the yellow button when preparations are done"
