Notes

This is a near-final build with mostly technical differences from the retail release.

General

• The disc label is dated December 12th, 2005, but the XBE timestamp is December 2nd, 2005.
• Pressing LT+RT+Black (RB) on controller port 1 returns to the main menu from anywhere in the game.
• A bug present in version 0.931 exists in this build, allowing drift to be held through any state (e.g. pulleys, autosections).
• Boost has a sparkle effect that was removed in the final release (final month of development?).

Event voices

Event voice lines are stored in separate, unused AFS archives (e.g. V_EV01F.afs). In the final release, these are muxed into single ADX files. The archives contain raw recordings with original background mic static still present.

Archive R

This build contains an archive named R, which is not present in any other known build. It contains loading screen and disc cover textures, which are embedded directly into the executable in the final release.
