The Cutting Room Floor:Content to expand/Sony

This is a sub-page of The Cutting Room Floor:Content to expand.

PlayStation

• All of the Super Robo Wars games have debugging material. Info here.

• Arc Arena: Monster Tournament has regional differences. The US release omits the Casino Game second disc.
• Auto Destruct has a debug menu activated through GameShark codes.
• Battle Arena Toshinden 3 has regional differences (e.g. practice and survival modes were added in western version).
• Car and Driver Presents Grand Tour Racing '98 has regional differences. The European version, Total Drivin', has a completely different soundtrack. There's a wiki that goes into detail with the differences.
• Chocobo Racing has at least one world changed between regions.
• Creatures has a debug menu. The same goes for Creatures: Raised in Space. (The latter's debug menu can be found here.)
• Defeat Lightning was localized twice as Future Racer by Midas as a stand-alone title and Power Rider by Phoenix Games as part of the All Star Action compilation.
• Earthworm Jim 2 has a debug menu, similar to the one in the Saturn version.
• The Fifth Element has a demo version with some debugging stuff enabled. Is this in the final version, albeit disabled?
• Kartia: The Word of Fate has regional differences (e.g. some English text that was in JP version was rewritten for western version).
• The Keiba has a sound test menu.
• Namco Museum Vol. 4 has regional differences:
  • Like Namco Museum Vol. 3, Uketsuke Komachi, the receptionist, is voiced in the Japanese version, and her message lacks the "no flash photography" rule.
  • In the theater, the robot band PicPac only plays the lyrical versions of their 2 songs in the Japanese version, and only the instrumental versions in the English version. Of note, both lyrical and instrumentals versions are available in the theater's music player in all versions.
  • The library has an illustrated summary of the NG magazine manga Mei Rou Yakata no Chana in the Japanese version.
  • The game list in the library shows different games available in previous volumes, as Vol. 2 had Cutie Q and Bomb Bee in Japan (the latter shown as "Vol. ?" due to being secret, this graphic being unused/deleted in the English version) and Super Pac-Man in English. Also, the English list is missing 5 games from the Japanese version: Winning Run Suzuka GP (1989), Eunos Roadstar (Driving Simulator, 1990), Soukoban DX (1990), Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours (1992), and Suzuka 8 Hours 2 (1993). The English version included Ridge Racer (Fullscale, 1993) and Ridge Racer (STD, 1994) to the list, Dirt Dash was moved from 1995 to 1996, and the list's scrolling has extra empty space in the end, likely due to the removed games.
  • The staff roll had the space between each entry reduced in the English version, but its duration is still the same due to the music, staying longer at the Namco logo in end.
• Pachiokun: Pachinko Land Daibouken has a debug menu.
• PoPoLoCrois has a debug mode.
• Power Move Pro Wrestling, also known as New Japan Pro Wrestling: Toukon Retsuden, has regional differences.

• Twisted Metal III has some previously-undiscovered cheats.

• U.S. Navy Fighters was only released in Japan, but it contains intriguing fragments of English text. The file SLPS_009.94 has phrases like "Bandit at six, break!" and "He's coming right at you" that could be leftovers from the PC version.
• V-Rally: 97 Championship Edition has revisional differences - later European versions and US version have DualShock support and replace the yellow/blue Renault Megane with Toyota Corolla, while the Japanese version has some extra cars.
• WCW vs. the World, also known as Virtual Pro Wrestling, has regional differences.

• Dance Summit 2001: Bust A Move has several debug menus.

  • It also has leftovers from Space Harrier II: Space Harrier Complete Collection?
  • Fantasy Zone Complete Collection has a crapton of leftovers from previous entries (Monster World Complete Collection, Tetris Collection, Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box, Phantasy Star Complete Collection, etc.)
    • Related to this SegaRetro edit?
  • Phantasy Star Complete Collection has two versions of the Nei text adventure: ps2tnei.bin and ps2tnei_fixed.bin. The latter version matches what's in Genesis ROM sets, and the executable makes no mention of ps2tnei.bin but it does mention the fixed one...and the two ROMs look to be very different with a 1:1 comparison (will need to do a diff-like comparison).
