This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There are no proper methods to preview these materials that can be found inside the game files: 5 map files of the Hospital section from Silent Hill: Origins. The files used for the VHS recordings cutscenes which in the final game are FMVs are present in the files of the game. Apparently the files in the PSP/PS2 are earlier versions based on the textures of the "Drunk Dad" and "Love Lost" endings as it contains textures of the frozen part of the Levin Street map which in early development footage shows that the developers used the last part of the map of the first nightmare section as reference. Unused UI elements can be found in both PS2 and PSP versions. On the PS2 version it can be found two files, few strings and unused graphics referring to a language and aspect ratio selectors On the PSP version, apart of the unused elements of the PS2 version also present here (excepting the unused graphics), there are some more unused elements that can't be known or even guessed what they are intended for.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a survival horror video game, a reimagination of the first installment of the Silent Hill series.
