You mind linking to file 019? I know there are a few unused images including test images I found in the HD Collection.

Also the reason why there are unused images in HD Collection is because the source code of games (SH2 & 3) that Konami had on file and gave to makers of HD Collection turned out to be earlier builds of those games, and had bugs not present in retail versions.

- Nice, MiLO. :) No worries about spoilers, I already saw more than one of the endings of SH2 by accident, so.. haha. Still, I think the "adventure" will probably mean the most to me anyway.
So has anyone figured out where the tracks from the Born from a Wish ending ("Terror In The Depths Of The Fog" and "Love Psalm") are hiding? I'm really curious about Terror in the Depths of the Fog especially, because it doesn't seem like it plays fully anywhere in the game (or does it?) It's my favorite track from SH2, I think. I know it's not in SOUND.DAT, and obviously it's not in MOVIE.MGF either. I doubt it's in SOUND.MGF... And seriously; no one here has actually managed to convert/play back anything in the SOUND.MGF file, right.. ?

- "Born from a Wish" is a sun-scenario which was released only with later versions of the game such as Director's Cut and Greatest Hits. SLUS_20228 was from initial pressing and wouldn't have it, we need to look at something like SLUS_20228GH to find "Terror In The Depths Of The Fog".
Since that track was only used in a real-time cutscene (AFAIK) it is likely that there's only a short version of it in game's files. Which is not an uncommon practice I'm afraid.

- Oooh, okay! I had no dea. It's kinda weird though, imagine someone owning the original release and buying the soundtrack CD back then -- they'd have no idea where the heck that track came from...
As far as I can tell, there were no Greatest Hits nor Director's Cut PS2 release made 2001 (when the OST was released). Or was there? If not, you sure it's not on the Japanese release? I'd guess it'd be a Svag (Sony VAG) at the bottom of the SOUND.DAT file somewhere (the top half are sequenced tracks), probably with the dialogue and everything. The original US release has 109 "dialogue" tracks in SOUND.DAT.

- Found it in PC version. PC port came out in late 2002 and included all extra stuff like Born from a Wish. And yes as it turns out the track "Terror In The Depths Of The Fog" is part of a dialog file. It's called nageru.adx inside a voice.afs. Voice.afs on PC is equivalent of SOUND.DAT on PS2, it contains all dialog files. Except it's not a problem to extract that the AFS container and get all the proper file names since there's AFS Explorer.
So as it stands I don't think it'd be any different on console versions - track is gonna be a part of a dialog audio file used in cutscene.
As for the time it was released, well here's a breakdown:
The first versions of Silent Hill 2 (without Born from a Wish) came out in Sep 2001.
Silent Hill 2 OST came out in Oct 2001. (it had music from Born from a Wish)
The first Director's Cut that featured a sub-scenario "Born from a Wish" was released Dec 2001 on Xbox in North America.
So it's not all so far apart. Technically yes the OST precedes the appearance of the track outside of game. So a person who happen to own the 1st print of the game and the OST next month had all rights to go bananas and question why that track is on the OST but not in the game.
But the contents of Born from the Wish could be well in development by the time the main game went to retail stores or shortly after. All the music used in that sub-plot could be finished way before the OST was released.
Anyway the initial Jap PS2 version doesn't have it (SLPM-65051), the one that would have it is SLPM-65098 and other re-issues. But I'm pretty sure it would be just a dialog track in SOUND.DAT.
Here's nageru.adx.rar from PC port:

- @MiLo Thanks
I know a few are in the retail version. I think they are in both HD collection and retail. I just only remember seeing some in the HD collection.

- Thanks for checking that, MiLO. Nageru (投げる) means throwing away (as in the gun here probably) for anyone wondering.
Have you also found Love Psalm? What's the filename/location for that one? ;)

- "Love Psalm" plays during ending credits of Born from a Wish and so its name is mar_end_roll.adx and it is also inside voice.afs.

- Ok. Do you know if there are there any other tracks exclusive to the Director's Cut/Greatest Hits releases, since we're at it?
The MEGA link gives a "temporary error" for me currently. Maybe it'll work later. But ah.. I was mostly just curious what name was given to the audio file anyway.
