Chrono Cross Modification / Re: Chrono Cross 70-80% NTSC Beta (Disc 1 Only)
« on: July 27, 2017, 08:07:49 am »Mr. topic starter can you please come back and upload the actual disc. You can't come in here and say you have a beta disc and then not upload it.
I agree, its time to upload this thing!
I just came across this beta on my old hard drive as I was archiving files. I've since lost the physical disc and I just want this to find a digital home with the community. Hopefully this link works and people find something interesting in this beta.

Happy hunting!

Nothing terribly exciting to be honest. There are many, many menus dedicated to setting up your party, giving you weapons and items, setting event flags, and testing sfx/music/movies/animation.
I don't think the potential for true beta content here is terribly high as the English translation was wrapped up long after the Japanese release and this build is quite late (it is "Reviewable" dated August 2000).
I have found some rather strange things though. It seems that the developers got quite bored with some of these menus and you can do some really odd things like walk around as a cat or choose from event lists named goofy things like "Go for it Happy Mojo" (a mystery event on Disc 2 sadly).
I'm not sure if this is some effect of the disc corruption or the debug flag but I cant seem to get into any battles as the game just skips over it after the initial battle animation and returns me to the map with the enemy defeated.

Sorry for the delay... everything seemed to be conspiring against me to grab these.
Main Debug Menu (All Maps)
Map 0
Map 1 (Kato)
Map 2 (Yoshii) - This one seems to be completely broken and only brings up the normal debug menu
Map 3 (Kigoshi)
Map 4 (Uchimichi)
Map 5 (Saito)
Map 6 (Miyakawa)
Map 7 (Chiba)
If these are too huge I can make them smaller, just didn't have them time to re-size them all before bed. I hope someone finds these interesting!

Chrono Cross Modification / Chrono Cross 70-80% NTSC Beta (Disc 1 Only)

I have searched around the internet to see what community might be interested in this and I've found it. A site dedicated to the Chrono series that still gets updated in 2012 while Square has deprived the world of any sequels for over a decade would probably thing just a tiny bit interesting.
I've had this beta for a few years now and I'd like to share some info about it for those curious. It has been many, many years since I've played Chrono Cross and I badly lack the ability to distinguish beta from retail, yet alone even remember most of the game's details.
What I can tell you is that I only have the first disc of this and that debug is enabled by default. The 7 debug rooms all exist in this beta and are all translated into English (with the exception of one of the rooms that seems to be completely corrupted). The entire disc is in English so this is definitely a beta of the NTSC release. As such I'm not sure how much interesting "beta" material is in this build. Also, at the time I received this disc there was a small piece of the data layer missing that has only gotten worse with time, so there may be areas of the game disc that will not load as a result.
From my preliminary mucking around, this seems to have everything in the first disc proper up to the concert with Nikki (roughly 500 maps worth of game play), but then again I don't really remember where the first disc ended.
So yeah, enough babbling. I'll post some screenshots once I get ePSXe to cooperate and take questions/requests from anyone interested in this small piece of Chrono Cross history.
