This page lists the various bugs and differences you will encounter on each copy of the Jak and Daxter games.

PlayStation 2 (PS2)

Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy

The number 2 on the inner ring of the disc indicates that this is a Black Label #2 (NTSC-U/C) disc, which does have Citadel Skip.

If you have a North American Black Label (NTSC-U/C) copy of Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, you may or may not have Citadel Skip. If you look on the back of the disc, you will find a number on the inner ring. This number indicates your version of the game and whether or not you have Citadel Skip. If you see a 1 or a 2, Citadel Skip is not patched and will work. If you see a 3 (or higher), Citadel Skip is patched and will not work.

Black Label #1 (NTSC-U/C) Yes
Black Label #2 (NTSC-U/C) Yes
