04A0A7F293953784AF8E1F71CCD90011E515F819 (JP Version; 0.BIN),

Symbols

No source code is available, but symbols can be found in at least
the Japanese and US versions. The US 0.BIN has nicely formatted
and easy to read symbol tables, but the JP 0.BIN merely lists the names
without any clear indications for addresses and types.

Bonus Files

There are a number of .WAV files of various characters saying dialogue
included as a bonus. While the Japanese version has these in stero, the
US version has these in mono. This would not mean much in of itself, but
the program used to master these somehow dumped a lot of extra data into
the blank areas. Using a script, one can find things like old web pages,
directory listings, and bug logs. Much of this is in Japanese and
requires the Shift-JIS encoding to view it.

Free Camera mode

The Japanese version has some remnants of a camera debugging mode, which are found
inside the executable at 0x1FE4C and 0x2191A.
