Hmmm...
To do:
The NA version may still have remnants of the JP-exclusive Cutie Q and Bomb Bee games, including files and dates

Namco Museum Vol. 2 is the second volume in the Namco Museum series for the PlayStation. Although the same virtual museum from the previous title is used as a base, it has been revamped with some new textures and many new game rooms. Six or seven new games are featured, depending on the region.

Unused Graphics

Hmmm...
To do:
Tons of leftovers in slideshow, museum, etc TIP files. Mostly boring Vol.1 carryovers though

In the Japan-exclusive Cutie Q game room, an unused texture for the video screen can be found in MUSEUM\CQ.TIP at index 23.

Regional Differences

While Mappy, Dragon Buster, Xevious, Gaplus, and Grobda can be found in all releases, Cutie Q and Bomb Bee are exclusive to the Japanese release, with Super Pac-Man being exclusive to international releases.

In the international release, Super Pac-Man takes Cutie Q's spot in the virtual museum mode. They share the same hallways, but feature different displays:

The game rooms, on the other hand, are entirely distinct from each other. Cutie Q's game room resembles the main screen of its game, while the Super Pac-Man game room is a bar which features a stage show played every 60 seconds.
