Triva[]
- The Test Unit Number is 006,
- Dispite crashing this Test Unit has not been bricked yet.
- KICHO orginly planned to released the mini games as there own thing. but due to negative feedback from testers, the mini games were canned and were later added as Manda 2 Mini Game Options.
- dispite KICHO Prohibiting for devs to allowed the Dev Kit to be shared for selling, KICHO never brother to shut down the test units for Gamestation 2, but did for the Dev Kit units.
- the mini games can be played on the actual Gamestation 2 console, via Action Replay.
- if Bully crashes on GS2 006 Unit, it will play The Tenements theme when the debug error code is shown.
- Bully is the only game that has a unique debug error noise, while the other games uses the regular Gamestation 2 beep noise.
- Like Said above JTV Punch Battle, Bully, Life Time 0 and Uko's Story were not likely developed at the time 006 was released. the reason of it likely working for these game, is becuse the devs may have used Gamestation 2 006 Unit to play test them and found someway for them to work.
- Timesplitters 2 was likely developed at the time 006's releases. (as it was released in 2002).
- if you try to play Life Time 0 and Life Time 2 on the west region of Gamestation 2 Unit 006. it wont reconized the game, which is odd becaused GS2 is region free. chaging the languge to Japanese will have it fix. 007 unit later fixed this issue
