An infamously low-quality PlayStation port of Space Station Silicon Valley that was only released in Europe. Despite it being on a CD-ROM, it's actually missing some of the levels from the Nintendo 64 original, more than half of the framerate, and uses a completely different soundtrack. At the very least, however, it fixed the 100% completion bug.

Unused Music

Space Station Silicon Valley Leftovers

In sv.wad, the game's main archive, all of the music from the original Nintendo 64 is present in .seq format. They do not sound very good, and several have a nonstop buzz throughout the entire track. This may explain why they were replaced with a new CD soundtrack in the final game.

Windows Executables

Present in SV.WAD are two Windows executable files, both of which are for converting files. These files can be extracted using a hex editor.

sp.exe

ESA-spexe.png

Start offset 0x416D9D8, end offset 0x41769D8. A program used to convert sound files.

tc.exe

Unused Messages

Using tc.exe to convert the extracted language files uncovers some on-screen messages that aren't used in-game (i.e. in txt/lang2.txt):

<MessageSize> 52
Do not read this message.<EOM>

<MessageSize> 58
This message is meaningless.<EOM>
