When a game's title translates to "Fire Delivery Service", what more do you expect?

Massive Dummy File

One of the most excessive padding files to ever fill a game disc, dummymem.lzh is an LZH archive, containing some interesting filler files, that is 2.2 GB in size and takes up 80% of the entire disc. Without this file, the game can fit within a CD. Success issued an apology about this in December 2006, for some reason.

Note that there are many duplicate files prefixed with "コピー ～ ", which translates to "Copy of".

bio4TGS_320.mpg is the TGS trailer for Resident Evil 4 (known in Japan as Biohazard 4). It has a duplicate.

ed.m1v, located in another LZH archive named ed1.lzh, is the ending cutscene from Panzertales: World Tank Museum For Game: Toubu Sensen, which was published 10 months earlier and also developed and published by Success. The archive has eight duplicates: six numbered ed2.lzh through ed7.lzh, and two more that are copies of the first two.

bgm07.wav is an unknown audio track, possibly from the game. It is also present as b.wav, c.wav and copies of the latter two files.

Also contained within the archive are 2048×2048 BMP images that consist of nothing but black, under the names dummy.bmp, dummy2.bmp and dummy3.bmp, which each have a copy of their own.
