PS2 proto discs (FAKE DISCS WARNING!)

this is real alpha build FFX

 

Oh shit. Congrats!

 

Do you mean the E3 2005 demo? http://teamico.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Colossus/_Demo
That seems to be a demo produced on May 12th.

 

No I mean the stand alone demo disc:

This SotC cover is kind of nice

 

it would not be an alpha build, probably the same one BORMAN owned (i think it was borman) its probably a final japanese build with early english localisation

 

I didnt own FFX, that was Ragnar. I owned Kingdom Hearts Re: CoM.

 

Oh, I've been watching some of Nomad's videos before. He's seriously dedicated. Respect.
If he's correct, and the disc I bought is authentic, it may be an alpha version? I really hope that's the case.
But either way, it will most likely be the same version as the released Stand Alone demo?

 

You can always pass me a PM to look into it, or Nomad since he's much more dedicated and knowledgeable

 

Cool. I'd appreciate any info available.

 

Worth a shot, not saying I'm able to tell any info. PS2 is one platform generation i want to ignore

 

If it's the same as the demo I wouldn't call it alpha, and if it's not the demo, just call it a preview version from july...as I said earlier, easiest way to judge is with a list of the files on that disc.

 

But... but PS2 is one of the best consoles.....
Anyway, let me see when I get the disc.

Yeah, I agree. It's probably not early enough to be alpha. I was just taking the reference from Nomad's list, even though I feel the development stages was kinda bleeding into one another.

 

Here are the hashes from the july stand alone demo and the august preview discs:

Update: I finally got the disc!
Sorry, the text is in Norwegian, but it's obviously Name, Date of change, Type, and Size, from left to right.
So, here's the content...

 

So you gonna boot it up?

 

I have, and it runs. I haven't had the time to look closely, but it's all in Japanese, has progressive/interlaced scan accessible in options, and I thought I saw some slightly glitchy fog effects when riding around.
And some of the file sizes are different I see...

 

Want me to take a look at it? theres a particular bug in the Preview build that i bet is still in this (and if its not then you probably have more accessible spots)

 

I'll see if I can make an ISO of it, but I don't know how good a computer I need for that. My laptop is shit.
What bug are you talking about? If I get detailed instructions I can check it out.
Do you own the other preview disc found, or is it downloadable somewhere? And is it also a Japanese version?

 

The bug is simple
Go to some water, start swimming. Move the camera below the water. If it crashes then i wouldnt be surprised. If it DOESNT crash then we got something to work with.
Theres a download of the other one somewhere on here, both with and without the patch to add in the missing dev tools
https://assemblergames.com/threads/shadow-of-the-colossus-potential-debug.50436/

As for making an ISO you can use IMGburn or Alcohol 120% or DVDisaster (any of them work honestly).
