The Palm Pre has only been out for less than a week now and already things are starting to get torn apart. This morning it was discovered that you can get into the Dev mode on the Pre by entering the “Konami code”. For those of you that don’t know what the Konami code is, it’s the code that was used in early Konami Nintendo games that would usually get you 30 free lives in a game. I think it was most notible for working in Contra, but I know it also worked in games like Life Force and others. In order to access this dev mode you need to enter this code at the launcher screen on the Pre, the code is “upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart” this will then launch the Developer Mode Enabler app. I’m not sure exactly what this will allow you to do, but it seems to be one of the first things that was discovered in a leaked ROM that contained a root image of the webOS. So hopefully with these new leaks we will start to see more things happening in the homebrew Pre scene.
