Beta Games website

[Helegad]

I set up a very simple website dedicated to beta games releases.

Here

Email me if you have any more, for any platform!

thanks for the link Helegad didn't know there was a beta of tr2 for the psx its an awesome site so far \m/

[Helegad]

Took me a while to find the download, but I got it, recompressed it, and put it up!

[Gradon]

And the differences for the TR2 beta are?

[DXP]

from looking at the pc version i think it might be weapons and items, they have well some have keyholders of the old 1st game items, not sure though.

Hello, I am a topic about video games. Where should I be put? Off Topic? No. Games. Please. We should be able to process this all by now. I'm getting tired of moving topics

[rewak]

I tried the TR2 Beta in an emulator (since i no longer have a working PS1 or 2) and didn't get past the main menu.

[Helegad]

Sorry, Dot. I figured this was more about a website than a game.

Rewak, mount the image in Daemon Tools. It'll work then.

[rewak]

Yeah that worked, odd. I remember the title screen for this Beta, a demo of TR2 i had used it, i remember if you held jump+forward+grab whilst the level was loading, Lara would jump forward and grab the ledge where you drop into the first level, so you could get above it. Doesn't do that in this one though, shame.

[Helegad]

I like this title screen better than the final one. The final version is a little too... green.

UPDATE: I updated the site a bit with a note about the TR2 mounting. Also fixed a few errors so it now look more nicer (to my eyes, at least; I can be a bit OCD sometimes )

[rewak]

Nice Wouldn't happen to know where i could get the FFIX beta would you? The one and only torrent i can find is long dead.

[Borman]

The beta is still missing 2 disks, the other two should be uploaded sometime soon. I can ask the owner if you'd like ;)

[rewak]

Yeah the torrent was only 2 discs, i thought that was odd. Go for it, the tracker hosting the torrent had nothing else on it.

Always wanted to get hold of that beta till the torrent went dead

When I get a new laptop, I'll download the TR2 PC beta, then download the PS1 version and burn it to a disk, then enjoy.
Great site, by the way, very useful, and I hope it grows and grows.

[Ridley W. Hayes]

Wow. Borman, I like the update of your site, pretty cool. I like it more than PtoP, great work! Keep it up! =D

Oh, and btw, any chance to get the BH4 disc with the menu debug unlocked up? I just have the RE4 .

I could never find a site which says 'here's the beta, download, ENJOY!'

Only sites which have long-winded and unnecessary descriptions with shitloads of pictures but no download links.

And then there's the occasional cryptically hidden link in a totally games-unrelated Spanish forum which leads you to a beta download (*wink wink* where I got the TR2 for PSX).

I thought it would be nice to have them all centralized for easy access. I'm glad you like it Gradon, and I agree with you there on the hope of it growing

Now, I've heard talk of a HL2 beta floating around. However, I've also heard that it's been redistributed so many times, and through irresponsible distribution, it has become corrupted and it's become very unstable. Does anyone know where I can get a 'first edition' copy of the HL2 beta?

Also, I'd be happy to include that FF9 beta on the site.

BE SURE TO SAY A BIG THANKS TO FEURMENSCH FOR LETTING ME HOST THE FILES ON HIS FTP SERVER!

[rewak]

I have the beta leak of HL2 somewhere, but it is very buggy and unstable, because of how early the code is.

[MarkGrass]

Anybody know any specifics on this beta?

Well, I don't know if you like Sonic The Hedgehog, or not, but here's a site that hosts a bunch of Sonic betas/prototypes:

http://info.sonicretro.org/Categoryrereleases

Also, I have a few betas you can host, if you're interested. They are:
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (PSone) 7Mb
Madden '96 (PSone) 150Mb
Doom 3 Alpha (PC) 1Gb
Deuce (PSone) 8Mb
Deadlands (PS2) 250Mb

Was there ever a demo for F1 2007 on the ps2 before it got canceled because of F1 Championship Edition on the PS3?
Also any Metal Gear Solid beta footage or demo's?
I have 3 versions of Thrill Kill Euro, US and the beta as well as the early leaked uncut Manhunt 2 for the PS2.
Any Dizzy beta's / demo's would be good too along with Alex Kidd or Wonder Boy.
Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap was fav version.
