This page details one or more prototype versions of Derby Stallion 64.

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Released publicly back in Aug 15, 2004, not much is known about the prototype's history other than it's a bad dump thanks to errors caused by the method used. Known damaged files have been reconstructed but they may not be byte-for-byte identical to a good dump.

Retail Differences#

Between Prototype 0C9AF40 and retail 0B2F568, the columns are swapped and 小窪廐舎 is now 古窪廐舎.

Retail

When selecting a source or target for saved data, the final game has a label on the cartridge. In the prototype, it's just an abbreviation for the game.

Banners#

Most of the banners supporting the running horses are placeholders, listing a name and their internal filename. There are only 90 of them, versus the 120 in retail, and they are organized slightly differently.

There are a number of generic, non-horse related banners as well but only one is shared between the prototype and final retail, #30. In total, the prototype has 20 of these. There are at least 24 in retail. It's uncertain how many of the initial 26 images are also generic.

Unlike the other placeholder images for horses, these have basic designs and in some cases, text. A few designs, such as #20 and #26, were expanded on. Most are unique to the prototype.

Dummy Files#

All of the images from 1686150 to 19255E0 in the prototype are unique to it, most of them with no known use. In some cases, these files are lookalikes of used files shared with retail but stored as individual, standalone files with embedded palettes. Among the more notable is a control sheet for both console and PC.
