This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There are no proper methods to preview these materials that can be found inside the game files: 5 map files of the Hospital section from Silent Hill: Origins. Maybe these maps could be re-inserted in-game as the files still contains the map linker. The files of the VHS recordings cutscenes. Apparently the PSP/PS2 are early versions based on the textures of the "Drunk Dad" and "Love Lost" endings as it contains textures of the frozen part of the Levin Street map which in early development footage shows that the developers used the last part of the map of the first nightmare section. Unused UI elements for the PS2 version referring to a language and aspect ratio and other unused ones in the PSP version that can't be known or even guessed what they are intended for.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories is a survival horror video game, a reimagination of the first installment of the Silent Hill series.

An unused psychological warning screen can be found in the game files named as "ui_psychologywarninghis.jpg". The unused version has a different font size, the first line says "WARNING" instead of "PSYCHOLOGY WARNING" and shows a repeated text saying "WARNING" all over the background.

The used PSP version uses the early background with "WARNING" text all over it and is even localized in all other language in this version.
