Proto:Ratchet & Clank (PlayStation 2)/EB Games Demo
This is a sub-page of Proto:Ratchet & Clank (PlayStation 2).
This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.
A demo for the retailer EB Games, with both Metropolis and Blackwater City present.
Built June 11, 2002, this is very similar to the June 25 prototype due to their close build dates, though this demo only has two levels to the June 25 build's eight.

Debugging Features
Debug Menu
An early debug menu is accessible by enabling debugging cheats (shown below) and pressing R3, or by setting the value at memory address 20155CD8 to 4294967295 (or the one at 20155D1C to 1).
This debug menu is missing some of the functionality of the version in the final game.

Enable Cheats
Debugging cheats can be enabled by setting the value at memory address 201AC224 (for Kerwan) or 201AC5A4 (for Blackwater City) to 1.
Once cheats have been enabled, press L1 + R1 + L2 + R2 to unlock all weapons and gadgets, or press R3 to toggle the debug menu.
Level Switch
In the E3 demo, a hidden level select screen was used in place of Ratchet's ship HUD (despite being useless since the demo only contained one level). In this build, the menu is gone and triggering the level select screen just teleports the player between the two available levels.
You can activate this trigger by pausing the game and setting the value at memory address 201AC180 to 17.
Early Music
Planet Rilgar
The music for Planet Rilgar is slightly different than in the final. The whole track contains both the theme of Blackwater City and Rilgar's sewer escape section, and loops improperly throughout the level.
