Chrono Cross 70-80% NTSC Beta (Disc 1 Only)

[utunnels]

 I recall I once removed the lines when I was making the forum icons, hehe.
Not sure about the one you mentioned though.

This is a mighty conundrum...

It looks like the only difference between the models is the red stripe... but where did the model I have come from...

Hello. I've never seen Chrono Cross NTSC Beta, it's very interesting. I extracted debug room of the disc Square's Preview 5, and returned it to the normal game. Knowing the possibilities of the other rooms, I can try to make them again.

Wow! Do you have a patch by chance? We would love to host this.

[prizvel]

I do a mod that adds debug room and a few new features, such as a new Grand Slam Arena with new monsters, new optional bosses, maybe a few new scenes.
Debug room of the demo version has many bugs. My version will be remade. New features:
The change in the variable of the plot
receiving key items.
Conversion of Serge to Lynx and back (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9XBOeHhq_yE)
Browse endings, movies, songs
Replace any character
Map Jump

Ah, gotcha. Definitely keep us updated; this is really cool!

[prizvel]

Good, then I create a new topic, which will post the progress of development mod

Part of me is heart broken by this thread, since I saw this exact beta on a for sale thread that I narrowly missed (well, I assume, as it had the same exact percentage on a white rectangular squaresoft sticker on a blank disc). That must've been 8 years ago?

My plan was to dump it & upload it for others to tear apart. I am glad he took the time to take pictures of actual cut content for us. I would love to look through all those files...

This CC modification that injects debug features is the reason I found my way back here, to inform the compendium! Seems Zeality already knew!

I pray for more beta content... Only new things in games from the past excite me now.

Mr. topic starter can you please come back and upload the actual disc. You can't come in here and say you have a beta disc and then not upload it.

I agree, its time to upload this thing!

I just came across this beta on my old hard drive as I was archiving files. I've since lost the physical disc and I just want this to find a digital home with the community. Hopefully this link works and people find something interesting in this beta.

Happy hunting!

Thank you!

I apologize for being so new, lots of these threads are people doing heavy editing of coding, I don't understand a lot of this. Is this a pre-release Chrono Cross CD you have? Like a pre-production game sort of like that early CT demo from the video press conference?

[ZeaLitY]

Holy fuck, he came back.

CrAzY, I'm in the same boat—I started having a regular income after some Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon protos were sold, and I've never seen them dumped.

We have to venerate nullpointer forever. I mean, this is huge! How does this not have more replies? I'm trying to think of what we can do, even if it's a super late build:

• Create a patch to reinstate the debug room for a normal ROM
• Dump the script—maybe this build was before Honeywood's late changes from Kato were in the game
• Dump textures—some were changed for the US release so maybe there are some intermediate versions
• And someone could literally just start a playthrough or something[/i]
  

Moving this thread into Chrono Cross Modification. nullpointer, we massively owe you.

Edit: I threw the link over to the TCRF's Discord. Maybe they'll investigate as well.

[Fortranm]

Good stuff!
How do I enter the debug rooms though? I turned on the debug option in pause menu but nothing changed.

[prizvel]

This is definitely an earlier build than the normal version. Differences were found only in the executable file, in the files of the rooms differences have not yet found.
