A prototype of WWF SmackDown! 2: Know Your Role for the PlayStation.
==Notes==
* Interestingly, it was compiled approximately the same time (ie, a month) before all 3 retail versions.
* Different startup loading screen, featuring multiple stills of wrestlers posing.
* No company logos, disclaimers, intro sequences etc. It just goes straight to the title from the loading screen.
* Title screen itself is very different. Simpler, without the final's background music (from the show). Instead, the main menu music plays.
* Many menu options (season, create a PPV, etc.) are unavailable. Also differences in the selections, themselves.
* Different menu control symbols.
* No menu sounds.
* No character entrances.
* No music during the matches, the crowd is quieter, and there are some differences in the strike sound effects.
* Miscellaneous Notes:
** Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 17, 2021).
** Game contains dongle protection: No.
** Game contains debugging symbols: N/A
** Dump was originally scrambled: No
