Ripped: Nothing.
Downsampled: Videos downsampled.
Source: GD dump.

Note that this release was made with the european version, but it has 50/60hz select screen and works wonderful on the american console. It works fine with VGA Box too. This game was the first one where I used VBR (variable bitrate) on videos, what means better quality than stardard CBR (constant) downsampling. I compared the original videos with the downsampled ones and I couldn't notice any difference (yes, the original videos have crap quality too). I let the sound of the videos untouched, it was already bad enough (22khz? Bad). Other files are intact. I made some little changes in GD file order, but the original one was already nicely optimized. For some reason, this game has two short CDDA tracks that I have no idea where they play. I took a look on Kalisto's release, and used their layout to burn CDDA tracks, so they must play nice. Have fun.

Features of my release:
- Not corrupted files at all, it was made with GD dump files.
- Videos with higher quality than other releases.
- Used same file order of the GD, that was slighty optimized later. It means faster loadings and less Dreamcast's reader noise.
- Selfboot.

About the game:
- It has VGA Box support.

Other comments:
- "Extras" folder in the pack contains some useless stuff.
- Release comes with manual and covers.
