==Notes==
* Compiled three and a half months before the final US build (the first available retail build).
* Different opening video, the resolution is smaller for some reason.
* The game has the text "v3.103 system" on the bottom right corner of the screen visible at all times.
* This build of the game outputs many error/verbose message logs on screen, usually during certain cutscenes.
* There's an option to change the difficulty in the Options menu that was cut from the final game.
* An option to enable/disable tips is missing from the display options menu.
* The start game screen is slightly different in this build. One notable difference is that this build tells you how many total blocks are on the current storage device, whereas the final build only tells you how many total free blocks are avaialbe instead.
* The profile selection is on its own separate screen in this build whereas its part of the device selection menu in the final.
* The Spanish Mission title text is displayed on the top left and is missing the location and exact time. The final includes this extra bit of information and was moved to the top right of the screen instead.

* Different or missing comments from Buffy during gameplay.
* Missing ambient sound effects.
