A prototype of Spyro the Dragon for the Sony PlayStation, dated around three months before the final build.
Notes
The prototype originates from a "News Version" disc which has green label. The build appears to be a match for the version used at E3 1998, though this particular "News Version" type disc would have usually been used for early previews in Europe in 1998.
- Build date is based on latest files' modification date. Primary volume modification date is May 19th, 1998; primary volume creation date matches other prototype builds in being April 21st 1998.
- Requires dongle to work - otherwise
bad memory card dongle. message will be printed to the TTY debug messages. There are a few ways to circumvent this:
- Dongle check can be bypassed by NOPing instruction at address
80012E18 - for example, using Gameshark code 80012E18 0000.
- Patching the iso with this xdelta patch before playing.
- Using a dongle file matching the one the game requires.
- There are several dongles accepted by the game, and each have different effects.
