Notes
The Cutting Room Floor research
- The following files were replaced with retail counterparts to remove watermarks: _user1.cab, _user1.hdr, SETUP.INS
- The exe inside DATA1.CAB has been replaced with a modified version that has no watermark in it
- A save editor to overcome plenty of issues that can/will be encountered during the playthrough is included in the archive
- Marked as an alpha build in the exe information
- Playing music from the second disc might be spotty on modern systems, it is recommend to mount the second disc 2 dump with Virtual CloneDrive and install the game on C:\
- The intro is very different and contains no audio and most other movies are placeholders
- Titlescreen has no music
- Different set of default starting characters
- Only 5 pieces of music are implemented
- Track 4 has been replaced with something else in the retail game
- The starting intro uses the track "The Sabres of Paradise - R.S.D." as a placeholder
- Placeholder names and text throughout the game are present
- Theres many visual and functionality differences present throughout the UI
- Different loading screen
- The Dragon Cave on Emerald Isle is much larger instead of being just a circular room
- Most maps are very barren as no decorations at all have been placed
- A lot of interior renders have no audio to go along with it or are pure placeholders
- Game can be played from start to finish although at the end it will just keep playing a placeholder cutscene instead of sending the player to the end screen
- Files contain many unused files that were removed from the final game including multiple versions of the UI
