PlayStation version differences (1.0 vs 1.1)

Dudley once mentioned to me that there were two PlayStation versions. This wasn't apparent to me that there were actual speedrunning differences until I ran Nemesis%.

Obviously we're not going to split cats between these versions, but in order to help facilitate finding the better versions of the game to run, let's talk more.

Other ppl have apparently run 1.1 on emu and might be able to help me.

Here are my findings.

I have the Japanese PS1 disc, it is a 1.0 I also have the Japanese PSN version, it is 1.1

1.0

  • Nemesis 5 has an extra corner bug, which allows for consistent Eagle crits and no damage with only a little extra positioning and aiming.
  • Music Box puzzle is randomized

1.1; this is the version that is used as a base for every subsequent port, including Bio3 Mediakite

  • Corner hang patched (had to use Flames against Nemesis 5 instead)
  • Music Box puzzle solution is locked to UUDDUU.

This correct?
