   Description
 This resource contains patches for Frame Gride Pilot Style (version 1.002) and Frame Gride Test Operation Disc (version 1.005), two pre-release demo discs for the Dreamcast game Frame Gride.

Pilot Style is from about 4 months before the final game. It normally allows you to play three stages, but the disc has data for two more: Forgotten Temple and Deep Cave. The latter resembles its final version, but the former has a different background and different lighting effects. The patch allows you to play them.

Test Operation Disc is from about 2 months before the final game. It normally restricts your access to the menu screens, but the patch lets you see everything - the color select screen is noticeably unfinished. It also normally only allows you to play two stages, but the patch enables access to four more: Silent Forest, Deep Cave, Opera House, and Fossil Desert. Opera House does not appear in the final release!
