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.

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.

Sequenced CD Soundtrack
In the same file, some sequenced versions of what ended up as streamed audio can be found as well. These sound much better than the N64 leftovers, indicating that they simply used a quick and dirty conversion tool for those.
Miscellaneous
flute.seq is an endless loop of a single flute note.
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
Start offset 0x416D9D8, end offset 0x41769D8. A program used to convert sound files.
tc.exe
Start offset 0x44DFCFC, end offset 0x44EACFC. A program used to convert text files.
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>
