Update at end of post
As most of you probably know, undergroundruin found a "debug" code for MML2 that allows you to jump to any room in the game and explore many areas that otherwise cannot be accessed. I'm pleased to announce that I have found a similar code for MML1.

I've only tested this with pSX emulator, so I can't guarantee it will work on a real Playstation.
Here's how the code works.
The areas in the game are divided into blocks with several rooms inside of them. For example, Downtown, City Hall, Cardon Forest, and The Main Gate are all separate blocks. The first code determines which of these blocks is loaded. For example, replacing XX with 04 will load Apple Market.
The second code determines which room inside the block is loaded. If you loaded Apple Market with the first code, then replacing XX with 01 will load the Junk Shop. If you loaded Uptown, then 01 will load the Hospital.
Example:
Jump to the hospital
300C356E 0008
300C1B61 0001
After you've put in your codes, turn them on and enter any door. If it freezes or crashes, try another one. If it worked, you should be either in that room, or falling through space outside of it. The location you appear in is determined by what door you used, so using doors leading into smaller areas like the Junk Shop is better than a large area like Cardon Forest.
To make appearing outside less of a problem, I recommend using the Air Walk code.

I've tried most of the combinations, and there doesn't seem to be a debug room like in Legends 2. However, there's still some pretty cool stuff to see. I've made a list of all the addresses I've tried so far.

I wasn't expecting this one. You start out falling. If you use the air walk code to land, the camera will snap to its usual position. If you appeared in the right place, you may be able to see yourself from a distance. See those pixels?

The Flutter crash site as seen in cutscenes (with rocks blocking the path) that has been called Yasmar Woods. It seems to be identical to what's in the N64 version except for the sign text, which seems to be taken from a character conversation in the city.
Talking to a sign.
Strange thing for a sign to be asking.
It's just like a normal conversation.

Hey! Get out of my room!
This happened when I entered Mega Man's room from Apple Market. Apparently the already loaded people models replaced the cat model.
The first area of the Main Gate has several sections that are loaded separately. Weird things happen if you enter at the wrong place.
Even when she isn't there, Roll still sees you reading her diary. Freaky...
TA DA!
I have no idea how this happened.

This happened when I tried to load the Junk Shop by walking into the clothing store.
Severely glitched Main Gate
That's it for now. Have fun.
UPDATE: I did some more hacking and found a code that stops cutscenes from playing. This allows some areas to be explored that couldn't because the cutscene would immediately start.

Also, now that I think about it, neither my code nor the MML2 code is really a "debug" code. I was just thinking "debug room" = "debug code". Since MML1 doesn't have a debug room (that I can find), the name doesn't make sense. Since a more accurate description would be that it modifies what room is loaded, I'll change the thread title to reflect that.

) Anyway nice find TauVertex! I love them all (especially being in the pre-game text and sneeking up on Juno from above) Speaking of which can you drop down from there and still fight him or do you stay up there the whole time? Or does the game crash while trying to fight him. Eh if you get the chance let us know.
! Guess I'll have to wait to see them till I get home. If you know just a little bit about coding (and I mean a very little bit) you can probably use this knowledge of the codes for the blocks and rooms to reprogram where certain doorways lead so you can just explore them normally. The files containing simple instructions such as the destination of a door are often coded in plain ASCII (normal readable text) form instead of hexadecimal or some other thing that needs to be put into ASCII and back again to be edited.
I used the N64 version, but I dunno if it really makes a difference.
