Secrets of Demo One (PS1)

- Everyone in PAL regions who first got their PlayStations back in the days, including myself in the spring of 1998, will no doubt remember that demo disc that came with the system, called Demo One, which the playable demos of games included on it would prepare you for the most awesome adventures that you would partake in the world of PlayStation.
While we still all remember those playable demos that we played on those discs, there are some demos that were eventually planned to be there, only to be scrapped in the last second, which is why I decided to share the hidden stuff behind the Demo One discs that I discovered using CDmage B5 to extract the unused VLCs found in versions 1 to 5, and replace them with the ones used in them and then capture them using the ePSXe emulator, while the TIMs used in Versions 6 and 7 are obviously opened and extracted using PSicture or other tools that open TIM files.
Besides the scrapped demos however, there are also some strange oddities found in these demo discs, that I also showcase in this video.
5:17 I've just noticed that this (scrapped) version of the Dino tech demo has a different controller input than what it originally was, so that means that it was a different version? The original had it like this:
D-Pad: Move Dino
[]/(): Turn left/right
X//\: Flip up/down
L1/R1: Turn Dino's head left/right
L2: Open mouth
R2: Show teeth
I doubt that it was an another version of the demo, since you could use the L3/R3 (analog) buttons (Stomp Foot/Roar) and you had to press the /\ button to quit. Also that version I think was intended for the analog controller, since you could move the camera with the left stick and move the head with the right one. You could lash the tail, too with the () button.
Music at 5:13 is like song The Cult - She Sells Sanctuary. Thanks for the upload I was searching for this, I have demo 1 but dont played for a while :-)
Thanks for making this!
Do you happen to know what the MUSIC.VLC file in the original Demo 1 is for? I assume it's a background loop that went unused but I'm not totally sure.
This is an unused background loop.
Guys do you know what the name of the first demo music?
❤
1:59 anyone else agree that this was probably made with Kai's Power Goo?
From the selection of titles I believe I own a version 5 of Demo1 disc (thanks for reminding me the red disck packing, completely forgot about that one but when I saw the picture Igot a beutiful flashback and nostalgia feeling
AeroSvk really? I want to see that!
I'll check on that when I'll be at home, it would be fun should it be working, but I'm not sure which of the demo discs it was :D I'll let you know :)
and did it work?
Gregory Swift unfortunately idk yet, could not find the disk and now im out of home until october but im holding it in my mind
Update?
Boring
Found the hidden files yesterday and I actually got Ultra Cheats to work. You can edit CONTENTS.ENG in DD to launch it. Cut "DD\UCHEATS\UCHEAT.EXE" from 3,1,0,0,0 to 2,1,0,0,0 and "M_G_S_V\MGSVID.EXE" from 2,1,0,0,0 to 3,1,0,0,0. This will launch Ultra Cheats instead of the Metal Gear video. Use CDmage to replace the file. You can also replace the help screen and icon.
Cool, I'll try that out and make a video about it
IT WORKS! I'll be making a video on that in a short bit!
qumesches spiel
Wow. This is very interesting !
I remember finding some of these stuff,pretty cool to see them again
BTW Weren't you the guy that made the full playtrough of The Fifth Element ? Did you delete it ? Because i can't find it anymore.
Yes I was, but I took it down because I got a copyright notice, but I'm sure you can still find a walkthrough to that game from someone else elsewhere.
The man, who exposes the bad and the obscure Well not that I was actually interested in that walktrough or in that horrible game,I was actually searching your channel with that playtrough because i forgot your channel name,and I found you by luck with this video xD
The credit screen on the original Demo 1 actually does appear if you leave it idle for long enough. Not sure about version 2, though.
EDIT: oh wait nvm it's not on version 2 as you said
+SicksTeaPhoarAlt Ah, I see now. Thanks for the info.
This reminds me alot of Retro Force, which has the same thing: Leaving it idle at the main menu for a long period of time will reveal the game's credits, which before, I never knew but only by looking at the game's files via hex-editor.
+The man, who exposes the bad and the obscure Also, I forgot to mention that there's two unused sound effects on ver. 1 (and presumably ver. 2 as it uses the same front-end).
I think this info could be worthy of TCRF, even if it is just a demo disc. :)
SicksTeaPhoarAlt say um can you show me some photo shop files of that ps demo disc 1 plz
