I was wondering if I should make a topic about this. This is definitely a prototype of the game and has significant differences judging by what I can see in the disc image. But I can't get it to work with Dolphin (causes a crash while trying to play the video at the title screen). I decided to make it it's own topic given the game's history. Here are some things I noticed from looking at the game's disc image: 1.) starfox.thp is different in this game. This is the opening movie that plays when you start the game at the title screen. 2.) Movie file rebirth.thp is included in this version. No idea what it is as I couldn't get it to play in thpplay. 3.) "crap starfox.h4m", zero idea what video this could be. Can't seem to figure out how to play it using the H4M player GCM 4.) BLOCKS.bin, not included in the final version, is a big file and I have no idea what it's here for. There are some references to mod files within. 5.) MUSIC.bin, this doesn't exist in the final either. It's a decently sized file too. I can't find any strings inside. 6.) DLLS.bin, this was referenced in the final version but not included. It exists in this version, and it appears to be something for debugging (it has some strings for debugging various gameplay things). It looks this must be a remnant to one of the mechanics from Dinosaur Planet where you had to watch over 'Kyte':
In fact the file has zero references to Star Fox and contains a lot of references to Dinosaur Planet. Also has some dialog snippets. 7.) "linklevel" folder exists in the final but has no files, there are files in this version however. It appears to be a map, but I don't know what it could be. 8.) "frontend" is the same deal as "linklevel". So is "musyxbin" which someone on 64DD mentioned before. 9.) There's a copy of "swaphol". 10.) They planned something "exclusive" that you could do at E3:
Although, now that I realize. Some of this stuff has been referenced before on 64DD (http://64dd.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id=856&forum=4). But the guy never once stated where he got this information from. Now we know, and hopefully people who are more competent and willing to share information can take a look. I want to share the stand alone game but my internet's pretty crappy. The image of the game appears to have files to make it a complete game. This was actually included as part of the playable demos from the Multi Game Demo Disc from July 2002, but no one mentioned it until now. I would post a download link but you can find the demo disc somewhere on the internet. But if it's really needed I'll try to throw it up somewhere... |
