2. Replace with "-f-d-m" (2d662d642d6d00) to activating debug options.
Notes:
You cannot set all those four switches together (-f-d-j-m) because the switchesstring length are limited to 8 bytes including null-terminated code (00 hex).However, if both god mode and debug options are needed, you may remove -fswitch (become -d-j-m) which causing the game to displaying a dialog box forchoosing game starting module (default is frontend.dll).
