Developer Notes

filelist.txt contains some developer notes.

#
# Tracks are the one tricky part of this file. Since we allow the user to select a single track,
# only one of the set needs to be added/downloaded. The names that follow with a preceeding '?'
# and '@' are always loaded (with the '%s' changed to the appropriate digits); the names with a
# '!' are chosen based on order (the first one is associated with the first track and so on)...
#

#
# IMPORTANT-- the order of the following is VERY important... DO NOT CHANGE!!
#

#
# Please, Rory needs the GLOBAL SFX DATA for the cover open/close sounds

Filename Oddity

The Nintendo DS logo shown in the intro is internally named nintendo64.datc. This might be a reference that the game was based on Ridge Racer 64.
