Why this is useful:
Without a working title key, you cannot access Bass or ProtoMan—they are not obtainable by normal gameplay in 4.5.

Why this is useful: Without a working title
Final tip: Take a photo of your working key on paper. If your save battery dies, you’ll need to re-enter it.
"Rockman EXE 4.5 Real Operation" is a Japan-only Game Boy Advance release in the MegaMan Battle Network (Rockman EXE) line that differs from the numbered series: it focuses on letting the player control NetNavi (particularly MegaMan.EXE) directly using the GBA as a controller, and it includes special title-screen text and identifiers.
