Road Rash (PlayStation)

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Whatever that "DEBUG" folder on the root of the disc is, it sure is of interest.

Road Rash is a motorcycle-racing video game series by Electronic Arts in which the player participates in violent, illegal street races.

Unused Graphics#

DEFAULT.TIM, DEFAULT4.TIM and PB.TIM, located in the root of the game's disc, seem to be placeholder textures.

Debug Text#

On booting, the tty debug console displays some interesting information and a "HELLO" message. This is not visible to the user.
