I have a CD with abe's exoddus for ps1. I just noticed it has several differences from the release one such as some borders on the top and bottom of the screen, no mask on the first screen where you can go down to the secret area, on the screen of that secret area (after you go into the door) there's a checkpoint which doesn't exist in release version. There are probably some other differences but those I listed are the only ones I found yet. Wonder if you're interested so I can try to make an image of cd1 and possibly cd2 (it didn't work properly from what I remember).

Ok making images of cds takes pretty long for some reason. It's been 4th hour of copying and only 42% is done due to disk condition I suppose, hopefully it'll work. Nonetheless I'll upload atleast one disk image this week I think.

Bought it on some market 8-10 years ago. Also I am afraid my disk drive may break down or something, it's gonna take atleast 10 hours just to copy one cd.

Can you post some pictures of the CDs? If there's the first one into the disk drive at the moment, at least one picture of the 2nd CD

Aaaaah yes! now i know which version is! Is "Golden Leon" version as the disc says! It's a fully translated russian version of this one : oddworldbetas.boards.net/thread/8/oddworld-abes-exoddus-russian-downloadthe only difference is the translations. the rest of the game (differences, musics , levels etc.) has the same content! I have Golden Leon version too , so i'm 100% sure of what i'm saying XD So don't worry if you can't make the ISOs, it's already available to download in the previous link or somewhere on internet Thanks anyway for your time.

Still it's funny that I noticed the "oddisee" word just now. But what version is it? Surely not release.

Yeah , "oddisee" is a mistake they used to make shitty and fake covers for the prototype copies or for the games in general to sale in russia XD It's a Pre-release that was sent to the reviewers a few months before its official release. Somehow it was stolen/copied and translated in russian (Russia had a big pirated marketing about PS1 games due to political issues with the official localizations of the games in their country) , then sold in the markets. The version that you have (Golden Leon, the name of the russian team that translated it at the times) is just a better translation (with words, voices and cutscenes dubbed in russian illegaly) of the oldest version (the one that i've sent to you the link , it's the same game, same music, same prototype differences etc) that has a poor translation in russian. So Golden Leon translation was made AFTER the one that it's available on this forum (the translation team for this one is still unknown). In a few words : same pre-release version, different translations so , apart this, nothing new or different.

Back then I couldn't even imagine a have a non release version. Maybe it's the reason of why I couldnt beat the game. Barely remember but at some moment playing cd2 something didnt let me go further so I bought another copy of game which was the legit release one. This pre-release one has also a funny edited copyrights screen they replaced it with a pic of some naked woman and censored her "private zones" with a censore sign and it's said there that if "censore" sign is missing then your game is pirated. No idea if it's a rare one but Im glad I got it even though it's in a pretty bad condition.

Yeah , the naked woman is Pamela Anderson IIRC. Maybe you never played CD2 because that prototype is really bugged. Without PS1 emulators for PC + Cheat Engine or other debug softwares, it's impossible to finish this pre-release version. It crashes at the end of Mudomo on CD1 IIRC and next in the other areas of CD2. Infact in some russian forums, this version was remembered as "the one that is impossibile to complete", but only after some years it was discovered as a prototype Keep it , even if it's broken. It's still a small piece of piracy history

I just tried out the version you linked me to and it's not exactly same as my version. In my version in main menu the hole door that opens and abe peeps out from there the door opening animation is glitched but in version you gave it's fixed. The mask on the first screen of game is also present unlike my version as I described above. Thus the one I got on cd's is older I think

Thus the one I got on cd's is older I think They're glitched graphics because to translate the game, they had to decompile all files, modify them to apply the translations and re-compile them, without the original software that Oddworld Inhabitants used, but using some different tools. Doing this , it can causes crashes of the game or some misplaced masks/layers/graphical details etc. This is the bad thing : maybe at first it was a full playable prototype , but unfortunately when they re-compiled it after the translation, they bugged it it can happens when you're not using the proprietary software that was used to build the game.

So it's the same version but some graphic is different. Well the more bugs the more interesyting it is. Hopefully i'll find a way to copy cds because that version is not available on internet, atleast I couldnt find it.
