These three logs from November 2003 are essentially the same, timestamps and all. The third file is missing the last line but is otherwise identical. The dates are of some note; assuming they're correct, these files come from quite early in development, which began in 2002.

This log, spanning June and July of 2005, is much longer and dated almost two years later. The latest date is only about five weeks before the US release.

BBAConfig.str#

This file presumably refers to the Broadband Adapter. Geist, however, has no LAN or online play support.

geist1201.dlf#

This file listing broadly agrees with the actual contents of the disc, but differs in at least one notable area: the inclusion of what appear to be three Game Boy Advance binaries, presumably at one time intended for use with the GameCube—Game Boy Advance link cable.
