Maria and Richter both have all relics unlocked by default, for most they are turned off, only alucard has the flag that lock all relics when starting a clean new game from power on, this is where reside the major error in the code, it doesnt reset properly the ram on soft reset and this lead to your ability to 'unlock' everything, in reality you arent unlocking anything but simply reusing maria/richter ones (unlocked by default).

The bug only works consistently in the entrance (plus the save point in underground garden), anywhere else you will be locked in the glitch room, with the library card been the only possible exit it will randomly do weird stuff if you do it elsewhere, we cannot tell you more than this for now.

In this run, we start by making a file with maria, we then get her to the save point at the end of entrance, soft reset, select the file and soft reset right when it start loading ( this step maybe can be skiped with better knowledge), then start a new alucard file > he get 200mp and we activate all the relics in the menu.

Its important to mention that there is zero memory corruption involved, what happen is that those values arent cleared in the ram when you start a new game.

The save bug is very easy to perform, you only have to soft reset a few frames after you select your file to load, at this point, you can create a new file and you will be 'warped' in the glitched room in entrance, with all equipment/stats (and map!) you had when you did soft reset the loading.

So now you can discuss the why and how this or that should be published

The GDI format is recommended to ensure that the game can run.Just because we can, we made you 2 3 movies for the price of one. Note: Not all Dreamcast emulators support the BIN/CUE format.

Older systems can be found in the Retro Games page.
