Notes

• An American / Japanese preview build dated just over two weeks before the US final build, and just over a month before the European final build.
• The internal serial matches that of the Japanese final, HDR-0053.
• The internal version number is 0.220 - by contrast, the final NTSC-U and NTSC-J builds are versioned as 1.004, and the final European release was versioned 1.000.
• The header refers to the game as "CRAZY TAXI DC B" and the primary volume identifier refers to the game as "SAMPLE_GAME_TITLE".
• When entering the pause menu, the music does not change volume, and instead continues on playing as usual.
• There are some loading errors during the autodemo, with some areas not being properly visible when they should be. There appears to be some different cinematography in the autodemo, too.
• Slight emulation errors with some of the sound effects in redream.
