Destruction Derby 2 Comparison

4. Hidden Debug exe files?

We go back to the "ROOT" folder of the extracted "DIRINFO" file. The PS1 and the Matrox version, has 4 exe files in it.


"NTSCINTR.EXE"

"NTSCXTRO.EXE"

"PALINTRO.EXE"

"PALXTRO.EXE"


I have checked the CRC checksums of the files. The four files in the PS1 Version, has different checksums. The EXE files from the Matrox version, are all the same. And yes, on the Matrox version they are Windows executables, but it looks like that they're PS1 EXE files. I have opened one and it says, that it needed the "MSI95.DLL" file. Then i have copied it from the Matrox DD2 Root folder into the extract "DIRINFO" Rootfolder. But it closes directly, then i tried to copy the EXE files into the DD2 Root folder, near to the DD2.EXE and the same happened. I have opened one EXE file with 7-Zip and found out that, there are ".debug0, .debug1, .debug2, .debug3" files in it.

Then i have opened them with notepad and saw that they're Debug pathes in it.

I also saw leftovers from the linked game.

A strange thing is, that these things are also in the Matrox files, because these texts were also found in the "MAIN.EXE" from the PS1 Rolling Demo.
