How heavy is your brain?

Unused Text#

Multiple folders contain a text file called dummy.txt, which contains the following:

アーカイブ化されたので、このディレクトリーにあるファイルを消しました。
何もないとこのディレクトリーがcvsに消されるので、このファイルを入れました。

The text translates to:

Because it was archived, I removed the file from this directory.
Since the empty directory is erased from cvs, I inserted this file.

Currency#

Currencies were changed between versions. The Japanese version uses yen, the North American version uses U.S. cents, and the English PAL version uses pence (not Australian dollars). For some European languages other than English, like the Spanish one, there are Euros and European cents as well, which can be switched with the English pence by pressing the A button.
