A public fundraiser to secure various Sega Saturn/PlayStation 1 prototype discs was conducted sometime in 2020 by the Obscure Gamers community. The builds available for purchase were primarily used for magazine reviews and previews somewhere in the PAL region. This release also contains a few PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable builds as well. A total of around 15 discs were acquired and dumped. The dumps were released on April 2nd, 2021.

All discs have been dumped with a Plextor PX-W5224A on latest firmware, and with DICUI unless the discs had C2 errors. In which case they're dumped with CloneCD. We tried dumping with other drives but, the plextor still gave the best results so all are plextor dumps.

The Saturn build dates are based on the most recent file as mastering time stamps were wrong in cases.
