This is a sub-page of The Cutting Room Floor:Content to expand.

  • In the theater, the robot band PicPac only plays the lyrical versions of their 2 songs in the Japanese version, and only the instrumental versions in the English version. Of note, both lyrical and instrumentals versions are available in the theater's music player in all versions.
  • The library has an illustrated summary of the NG magazine manga Mei Rou Yakata no Chana in the Japanese version.
  • The game list in the library shows different games available in previous volumes, as Vol. 2 had Cutie Q and Bomb Bee in Japan (the latter shown as "Vol. ?" due to being secret, this graphic being unused/deleted in the English version) and Super Pac-Man in English. Also, the English list is missing 5 games from the Japanese version: Winning Run Suzuka GP (1989), Eunos Roadstar (Driving Simulator, 1990), Soukoban DX (1990), Coca-Cola Suzuka 8 Hours (1992), and Suzuka 8 Hours 2 (1993). The English version included Ridge Racer (Fullscale, 1993) and Ridge Racer (STD, 1994) to the list, Dirt Dash was moved from 1995 to 1996, and the list's scrolling has extra empty space in the end, likely due to the removed games.

The latter version matches what's in Genesis ROM sets, and the executable makes no mention of ps2tnei.bin but it does mention the fixed one...and the two ROMs look to be very different with a 1:1 comparison (will need to do a diff-like comparison).
