You're delusional if you think Hugo's gonna go against his NDA and progressing his professional career just to get inside info to bring back to his forum buddies, not to mention any "info" that you guys are giving him basically boils down to "it would be nice to have this prototype, wouldn't it be nice? gee it would sure be nice".

This is getting ridiculous.

Posted on 07-03-18 12:14:19 PM, in Silhouette Mirage demo disc for Saturn (last edited by puddinpops at 07-03-18 12:15:44 PM) Link


I noticed that the demo disc for the Saturn version of Silhouette Mirage hasn't really been discussed anywhere, so I decided to download it and take a look. Surprisingly, it appears they actually left the entire game on the disc. All files on the disc are dated 7/16/1997, which is only a couple weeks from the date of 7/30/1997 on the final retail disc. Not a whole lot of room for drastic differences, but this could have at least some stuff worthy of documentation.

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any easy way to get access to the rest of the game. The debug code (hold X+B+Z and press Start at the Treasure logo) works, but choosing any levels besides 2-1 just warps you back to the titlescreen. I tried making savestates from the retail and coaxing the demo to load it, but once dialogue or gameplay starts any level freezes. Opening level cutscenes seem to work at least.

I'm guessing there's a flag they set that makes sure any attempt to get to anywhere before the second level forces the game to take you away from it. Anyone have the skills to bypass this so we can see the whole disc?

Did that fake cart on eBay get you interested again?

Glad to know you're still looking into this. Looking forward to future developments!

SNES Central released some protos a couple weeks back, including a build of the unreleased Spot Goes to Hollywood.

I found the RAM value for levels and was able to access one that you can't normally get access to. Gotta get that code again. Rodri3

That guy releases everything he buys, although after that Monster Lair 3 remake he headed I don't know if he might have more legal issues getting this one out there.

Neat find. Can't help in finding more stuff, just posting to say it's cool seeing someone else appreciate this game. I grew up with it and find any comments about it being vastly inferior to the first to be outlandish. It's got great graphics, music, setting, what's there not to like? Especially 2 player! The prototype on the net was my ROM dump too, that's how much I like this game

Someone should document this, there are changes all over the place.


There's lots not even found yet I bet in terms of hidden graphics. I've never been much of a documenting person and can't hack into a game like what you see happen with Sonic games, so the proto's been sort of left forgotten for awhile.

The alt attribute should be used to give a short description
of an image; longer descriptions should be given with the
longdesc attribute which takes a URL linked to the description.
These measures are needed for people using non-graphical browsers.

For further advice on how to make your pages accessible
see http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL.
You are recommended to use CSS to specify the font and
properties such as its size and color. This will reduce
the size of HTML files and make them easier to maintain
compared with using <FONT> elements.

You are recommended to use CSS to control line wrapping.
Use "white-space: nowrap" to inhibit wrapping in place
of inserting <NOBR>...</NOBR> into the markup.
