Haven: Call of the King

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

This needs some investigation.

Specifically: Discs not deeply examined, needs properly searched.

Haven: Call of the King is the ambitious first part of an intended trilogy. Unfortunately, poor sales led to the followups being scrapped, leaving the game ending on a cliffhanger that will likely never get resolved.

Leftover Development Files#

Present on the disc are UPDATE.BAT and UPDATE.BAK. The text inside includes several dates, with the latest being 21 December 2001.

UPDATE.BAT#

A batch script seemingly used to copy files from the PS2's SDK or development environment to the /SYS250/ directory for disc building (though there are additional files included in that directory that aren't mentioned in this batch script):

copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\*.img
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\libsd.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\mcman.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\mcserv.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\nusound.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\padman.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\sdrdrv.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\sio2man.irx
copy \usr\local\sce\iop\modules\SNProfil.irx

UPDATE.BAK#

Appears to be the Command Prompt output of what seems to be the folder UPDATE.BAT is copying to:
