A prototype of VR Baseball '97 for the PlayStation.
==Notes==
* Plextor drive dumped the disc in scrambled mode. Descrambled version is included.
* Different tunes play in the opening sequences; they sound like placeholder samples from music which they didn't have the license for
* Disclaimer logo appears after the opening FMV (and is different), followed by the loading screen (different, too). The disclaimer then reappears, oddly
** The disclaimer appears after the title screen in retail
* Title screen's music is a slightly different rendition.
** The "Press START to continue" pulses in color, instead of being static
* Different main menu
* More loading screens/sequences than in the retail for menu selections
* Main menu selections, such as Homerun Derby, don't open up the match setup menu; it just goes straight into the game.
* Miscellaneous Notes:
** Game is emulatable: Yes (as of April 17, 2021).
** Game contains dongle protection: No.
** Game contains debugging symbols: N/A
** Dump was originally scrambled: Yes
