Dummy Files

Winter 2002

Jampack Winter 2002 Teen has a DMMY file in the root directory which is a debug enabled version of Dark Cloud. This can be played by using the retail USA version's files of Dark Cloud and replacing the executable SCUS_971.11 with the DMMY file after renaming it to the same name as the executable. Additionally, the SLY folder contains a backup of the executable for the Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus demo named SLYELF~1.CD. It does not appear to be much different, as the file size matches with the intended executable and it is dated the same day as the other files in the folder.

Unused Graphics

Jampack

MENU.FF\Control\tomba.0

A placeholder control screen for Tomba!. Unlike other games in The Vault, Tomba! has the control scheme graphics built into the game's demo files.

Summer '99

MENU.FF\TIMS\MENU2.TIM
Three unused featurettes on the main menu.

MENU.FF\VaultTims
Two placeholder graphics for a missing game on the vault. The photo is of a red lory.

Winter 2000

Two more graphics for a missing game on the vault.

Volume 10

MENU.FF\menu_res

MENU.FF\sly2_control0

Placeholder graphics. The Missing Control Screen graphic is named sly2_control0 as Sly 2 only had viewable trailers and no playable demo.

Volume 11

MENU.FF\menu_res
Unused boot sequence graphics.
Similar graphics were used in Volume 10, where the red one represented the Teen variant and the yellow one - Mature. Volume 11 on the other hand skips the boot sequence\animation making these graphics go unused.

MENU.FF\menu_res
Placeholder graphics, identical to the ones found in Volume 10.

Volume 12

MENU.FF\menu_res\pub\projects\jampack12\sprites\volume12
Unused logo variant.

Placeholder graphic for a missing screenshot thumbnail.

Volume 13

MENU.FF\shots

MENU.FF\menu_res

More placeholder graphics.
