Jampack series

Jampack series
Developer: Sony Computer Entertainment Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment Platforms: PlayStation, PlayStation 2 Released in US: Various points between 1997 and 2006 This game has uncompiled source code. This game has unused graphics. This game has unusual dummy files.

Jampack was the title used for a series of PlayStation and PlayStation 2 demo discs.

To do: Check all of the remaining Jampacks as well. Double check the unused graphics. Most of these were gotten from the Mature versions. Perhaps the Teen versions have other unused stuff.

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 female Eclectus parrot.

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: Band of Thieves 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 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.

MENU.FF\menu_res\pub\projects\jampack12\thumbs\null

Placeholder graphic for a missing screenshot thumbnail.

Volume 13

MENU.FF\shots

MENU.FF\menu_res

More placeholder graphics.

MENU.FF contains some lines of source code in areas where there isn't supposed to be any data.
