                        Information and Troubleshooting
===============================================================================
2025/12/13 UPDATE: I replaced the loader (which I know much more about now
than I did in 2021) with an updated version capable of skipping the OPS2M
intro video. The new loader displays in PAL as the NTSC patcher introduced
significant underscan issues. PCSX2 never had issues displaying PAL that
needed patching to begin with, and OPL can be configured. If PAL display is an
issue for your setup, there's better people to ask than me elsewhere online.

ORIGINAL README INFORMATION:
============================
This is an ISO that combines some of the demos of FreQuency and Amplitude,
Harmonix's first two games, plus various marketing material and interviews
with early Harmonix about the games, into a single disc with an easy-to-use,
official Sony loader interface.

Included are:
- FreQuency OPM (SCUS-97181, or OPM #55)
- Amplitude OPM (SCUS-97242, or OPM #67)
- Amplitude "Space" Demo (SCUS-97869, the bonus DVD with some copies of
P.O.D's "Payable on Death")
- "FreQuency at E3 2001" video (SCUS-97158, or OPM #49)
- "FreQuency Behind the Scenes" video (SCUS-97176, or OPM #53)
- "Amplitude Behind the Scenes" video (SCUS-97243, or OPM #68)
- "Amplitude: Cool Moves" video (SCUS-97249, or OPM #74)
- ""Space" - BMC's Live in Studio" video (from
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ58P5uGRPY, just because I thought it was
neat and obscure)

The Amplitude demos have been modified slightly from their raw transfers to
allow greater access to unfinished content or to prevent glitches in
switching between executables. A full list of changes is included in the
next section.

Please note that this disc is intended to make playing or exploring the
unfinished content easier, not for datamining! I have edited some of these
files, thus, they are not accurate to how these demos were originally. If
you're looking to rip audio or assets for use in discs or on sites like The
Cutting Room Floor, please seek out the raw transfers of each disc. I don't
host them myself anymore, but disc IDs are listed above for your research.

CHANGELOG
=========
AMP OPM:
- The on-disc-but-locked-off early versions of "Rockit" and "Subculture" have
been added to the song selection menu
- Insane has been re-enabled as a difficulty
- The executable the demo loads on quit has been changed to disc root to
prevent a quit back to the PS2 BIOS

AMP SPACE:
- The original P.O.D. bonus disc loader has been replaced with a forwarder
ELF that returns back to the disc root, again to prevent a quit back to the
BIOS
