Midway Arcade Treasures 3 is the third game in the Midway Arcade Treasures series, which in this case consists entirely of arcade racing/driving games from Midway and Atari. It was later released on Windows as part of Midway Arcade Treasures Deluxe Edition, which was merely just a bundle of Midway Arcade Treasures 2 and 3.

Also, for whatever reason, the GameCube port was exclusive to North America.

Game Selection Menu

The emulator for Super Off Road/Super Off Road Track Pak contains a basic game selection menu that can be accessed by replacing ffe.dol with offroad_d.dol in the GameCube version, replacing FFE.ELF with OFFROAD.ELF in the PlayStation 2 version, or just by running Offroad.exe in the Windows version. This menu isn't present in the Xbox version.

Crash Handler

If the game ever crashes, it'll display a basic crash handler.

Unused Graphics

Old Control Screens

Launch.xtex and the data folder contain several control screens that are leftover from older builds of the compilation. They are all stylized very differently than what ended up being used in final.

Badlands

Hydro Thunder

Offroad Thunder

Race Drivin'

Rush 2049

Rush The Rock

Stun Runner

Super Off Road

Save Icon

The Xbox executables for Hydro Thunder and San Francisco Rush 2049 both have a save icon that goes unused due to the saving functionality being handled only by DEFAULT.XBE. The graphic itself implies that the two games were possibly intended to be on a combo disc that went unreleased.

Unused Text

ps2geo.txt

A listing of various folders can be found inside of rush2049_data\PS2GEO from the GC release.
