Locations

- Reaching the title screen.
- Teleporting to Magicant.
- Checking the XX Stone.
- Before the "All That I Needed Was You" performance in the Live House.
- Before the "Fallin' Love" dance scene in Mt. Itoi's cabin.
Disabling
In order to disable all of Earthbound Zero's anti-piracy screens, change the following bytes in the ROM:
- $3247D: Change “D0-11” to “EA-EA”
- $32485: Change “D0-09” to “EA-EA”
- $3286A: Change “D0-11” to “EA-EA”
- $32872: Change “D0-09” to “EA-EA”
