Beta Trial Code

This is a sub-page of Proto:Jak X: Combat Racing.

To do:
This build can be booted in a kind of "retail mode". It changes everything, and I think the best thing would be to separate the 2 booting modes into subpages....

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

One of many PlayStation 2 prototypes given a limited release to test the PlayStation online network function. In this prototype only online play was made available, however because the network has now long-since shut down, it is now restricted to the title screen menus.

Menus#

To do:

Add "Customize" (vehicle menus)
Add "Profile"

Many of the menus from the final game are unavailable in this prototype, and the rest of them are different. Also, it seems that the camera's position in the garage menus is different in the prototype.

Prototype	Final	Description
		The final game's main menu has much more options than the prototype's.
		The text seems to be bigger in the prototype, but these menus are otherwise identical.
		The prototype has much less game options than the final game.
		The prototype has significantly less graphic options, and also "Center Screen" is used instead of "Centre Screen" like in the final version.
