This is a bit of a filler, saw this on a magazine screenshot and, got curious.

Being someone born when demodiscs and demo versions was still a thing. This sort of thing always got me interested, especially when other stuff were hidden "under the hood".

This here demonstrates a disc-swapping trick with 2 games. Maybe it will work with other games, maybe not, but i confirmed that this indeed, works with those 2 demos in particular.

To do this on an actual console:
Make sure you have the Demo One (SCED-00816) and the Official U.K. PlayStation Magazine #1 Disc (SLES-00107, NOT Italian Tomb Raider), place the Demo One disk on the tray, load any demo on the disk (I loaded the Destruction Derby one), swap the disk with the Magazine one, and press select. The "d1" logo should appear and Wipeout should load straight away.

Not sure if its possible to do this with other games to load other parts, but its a cool trick nonetheless. Not sure why someone would do that back then tho, since Demo 1 ALREADY included a Wipeout Demo (albeit on a Different track) that was fully playable, and probably earlier than this one. But its still nice that this sorta thing was possible back then.
