Unused Graphics

There are some unused icons that seem to be for a map editor.

The files for the level "Roaring Forces" contain an unused loading screen with a very different style than the ones that are used.

Unused Text

CONFIG.TXT

Present on the root of the disc for both Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 versions is a text file called CONFIG.TXT. It has names for levels and each screen in the game.
