Hi Guys. I thought i'll start my own Collection Thread here now , having recently aquired 47x Playstation 2 Promo Disc's for a mere 135€

Actually that's also my First "Rare" Set of PS2 Games.

The Story to these is , that according to the Seller these Disc's came from a Well Known German Games Magazine and were given to Journalists for Reviewing Purposes.

As far as my guess goes , they are from OPS2M Germany. But it could also have Originated from PC-Games Magazine or Computer Bild Magazine.

The Package arrived today , and everything is Well. The State of the Discs is Great too , some have only slight Fine Scratches but most are Spotless :)

Now , while quickly going through this pile i've noticed this Disk. This might be a quite "Rare" Failprint. Have never seen a Disk with a Weird Error like that :D

InkedIMG_20210504_121256_LI.jpg

Also some of these are Fingerprinted/Watermarked (especially the EA/NAMCO Stuff) so i Censored it :)

More to come as i have to go through the pile :)

Here's a Comparison to the Same "Star Wars Jedi Starfighter" Promo-Disc from another Collector (his doesnt have a Watermark)


Update 05.05.21 :

Tested every Disc , and every Disc works without a Problem. I also noticed that there are no Discs above Build Year 2002 judging by Copyright - the Oldest i have in there is one from 1999/2000 - so i assume this has to be a Set from a Former Journalist (for the Year 2002) with some Older Promo Discs added to it.

Quite Possibly OPS2M Magazine - because that would explain the Watermarks on EA and NAMCO Discs but i can only guess.

Only thing left is to sort them after Developer and then maybe try to Dump a Random Disc. Maybe the Starfighter Disc is interesting because it has a Different Serial compared to the Non-Text-Bug One...

Success! Rebuilt the ISO and my Settings worked! The Debug Menu is Openable with R1+R2 right before going in-game.

So the Myth that there are Debug Versions on Regular Promo Discs is True lol!

Will definetively do more Testing with this Debug Menu and then report back :)

There goes another Fifa 2002 Late Beta!
Since there was another Fifa 2002 Promo Disc in my Set , i thought why not try this one too.
This One is a bit more Special i think.
VERSION.TXT​
Soccer build 907


It has a Additional Soccer.INI called "Soccer.org" which is the Default Build 907 Config-File as a Backup.

Also Interesting is that the Backup file Contains this :

Opening the Debug Menu on this Build is a bit different - as it only works when you Press R1+R2 at the exact Moment before the Game Starts - otherwise it just skips it lol.

Havent got the Performance Test Overlay working , maybe it's missing in this Version?​

Some more Cool Stuff that you can do with this Build!

This was probably used to Test AI etc.


If you Unlock Everything with the Config File you can Play with the All World Team :)

What are the dates for the executables so far?

Hi i made some screens comparing the Build 102 with the SLES-50798 Final Disc - they are identical , however the NTSC and UK PAL have different Dates to these Discs. Seems like even some Retail Versions of FIfa 2002 Worldcup have a Debugger some dont :D

Left is Build 102 - Right is Retail SLES-50798

Unbenannt.png

And Here is a Comparison between Build 102 and the other Disc i have , with Build 907. Left is Build 102 - Right is Build 907 both from Promo Discs

Hi thanks :)

So about the Ratchet and Clank Promo Disc - this is one of those Discs that came in a Official Sony Blue Sleeve (says N2P1A on the Jewel Case) (couldnt find any similar Coloured Dark Blue CD Cases so i assume theyre from Sony)

Ratchet and Clank SCES-50916-2.jpg
Ratchet and Clank SCES-50916.jpg


The SYSTEM.CNF File defines this Build as PAL v.1.00 but the odd thing is , the ISO is 4GB Big , but when opened only displays System.CNF , ELF File , IO Plugin and nothing else :D

weird.png
weird2.png

BOOT2 = cdrom0:\SCES_509.16;1
VER = 1.00
VMODE = PAL

Seems to be encrypted or did my Drive produce an Error there? The ISO however works in Emulation.

I actually do not understand why it would say "Device : 0x00 (Empty Sector!)" as the Disc is Condition-Wise far from Scratched and any other Disc ripped fine too :unsure:

Does somebody here know if the Retail and other SCEE Discs exhibit this feature too?
Maybe theres something i missed to Check while ripping dunno i only recently got into Dumping Discs by getting these Discs :)

About your question to upload it , yeah i could theorethically post this Disc to Archive etc. - but i would have to know first if i ripped it correctly , and why the Disc's Folders and Data do not Display correctly.. I should try Log Comparing the Jak and Daxter Promo Disc too , if it has the same "Empty Sector weirdness" within the ISO Images

Yeah this is definitively SCEE Proprietary Disc Copy-Protection there :) I've checked the Image with IsoBuster and when Looking at the RAW Hex Data it looks like this from LBA 0 to LBA 16 :


If someone can do something with this , or help me with getting the Disc to Display it's Full Content for Datamining - that would be great! :D

The file archives of Ratchet and Clank games, with the exception of R&C2 retail as well as most prototypes, are usually hidden by default.

If you want help investigating your discs, here's a Ratchet modding discord you could stop by. :) https://discord.gg/KE8G5FA

Thank you for your post. You inspired me to dump all my promos as well to check for diffs...

Here is the Newest Addition to my Collection i paid 50€ for it :) It is also the First Developer Preview that i have in my Collection. Also made a New Friend through that - she's Actively Searching for Rockstar Dev Kit's and maybe she going to Register here :)

There is a Scratch or Deep Scratch on the Disk , but it looks like it is Outside the Data Area im not sure. I hope my Drive can read it :)

Alright , the Disc arrived today - and to my Surprise there were near to no Real Bad Scratches... And The Disc ripped flawlessly (as it was only 196MB anyways).

But yeah thats the First "Early Preview" in my Collection. Cant tell yet if it is a BETA since i havent played it yet, but it's missing it's SYSTEM.CNF and the LEVELS.DAT dates back to !!!!1995!!!! Heres a Comparison with the Final "Norse by Norsewest - The Return of the Lost Vikings aka. Lost Vikings 2"

There were some amount of Years between Development and Final Release. So i dunno where to categorize this in :D

Maybe this will be released here. Should have it's own Hiddenpalace Mirror then aswell :) But first i got to do some further Testing :)


Through some quick checking i can confirm these things to be available in this Preview :

  • Ingame Music same as Final
  • Voice Over Lines are sometimes not matching with what's displayed f.i Voice Actor says : "Press the B Button to blabla" when it's actually SQUARE Button on Playstation
  • Death and No Death are the same as in Final
  • German and Other Localization-Text isnt even Finished yet :D At the First Level 10% of the Localization is German and then it continues English with Ä's and Ö's lol! :D
  • Different Theme Song for the Main-Menu/Logo (which sounds to me like its borrowed from another Game)
  • A small difference between the Artwork of the Password Tooltip (Preview is Grey / Final is Blue)
  • The Resolution as far as it looks is different? Atleast that is what RetroArch means it should look like with Vanilla Settings for Beetle PSX
  • Splash Screen doesnt have any Writing about Silicon & Synapse and no Datecode
  • Even the Disc it was Burned On is Rare asf. It identifies in ImgBurn as a Whitelabel Gold Pioneer CD-R74. I have personally never seen this before. In the 90s we've only had Traxdatas anyone remember those? ( https://club.myce.com/t/the-rarest-most-obscure-recordable-medium/229977/936 ) EDIT : Added the Correct link to the Post about this CDR
  • Having also Compared the Build Dates between this and the Sega Saturn Disc - this one is a fair Bit Older than the other Build
  • Whats also Funny is that the German (and probably other) Localization is also Hand-Written at Times for instance this Line :


"Enshuldegong, You can't finish the
level unless everyone
is still alive."

Which in the Final Release actually says :

"ACHTUNG: UNMÖGLICH DIESES LEVEL OHNE ALLE DREI CHARAKTERE ZU BEENDEN"

The Splash Screen :

Some of the Playstation Buttons are Missing - probably at this Early Stage of Development in Porting this to PSX someone forgot to change the DOS Code to Import a SQUARE Button Logo

Inside the Disc Case (what does this Pink Dot mean does anybody know?!) :

Disc Cover (no manufacturer markings?!) :

Yeah so far that's what i could find out.

I'm curious about the "Monsters, Inc." disc. I'm assuming it's the Scare Island game, given how these are presumably all PAL discs.

It's funny - I saw a promo disc of this game on ebay, and I bought it. It got lost in transit... :/

Hi , yeah those are all PAL Builds - i havent tested the Monster Inc Promo Disc yet will do that later this Day but depending on where you live i would also sell it (im in EU) as it's one of those Discs i was less interested in when buying the Lot :) But i havent had any experience yet with Overseas Packaging and Shipping Costs
