Development
Based on file data, we can trace the version lineage from the original JP 1.0 release. Through the final PSP EU build. Surprisingly, a development copy (referred to as "hd") on the PSP disc is derived from the JP 1.0 build of the game, not later bug fix releases.
Additional information about the Xbox and Saturn versions will be added as more is learned.
