Hi,

As some of you already know, we found a bio2 China version about a month ago, myself and dara tested the version and found A LOT of things wrong with it.

For example..
http://puu.sh/rXLdx/957c32ec39.png
This is a BAT file that is used to start the game.
to start Leon or Claire you have to input either 1 or 2 to start the game. Seems really dodgy and at this point most people will be presented with the same error box as Sourcenext "Failed to initialize Direct X" since no patches exist for this version most people can't even run it.

The installer is the same as the original JPN PC version (and mediakite?) and it's buggy as all hell.

http://puu.sh/rXHBU/f4329e4ebc.png
Here are all of the files that we got,
the file called "Biohazard2.reg.fix" from what i can tell is supposed to fix the installer but it gave me an error, although it did work for others.

Texture Bugs

MIssing Ladder...
After lowering the ladder and descending down the ladder it will go back up, But it can still be used.
http://puu.sh/rXMf2/da189c777a.jpg

Plenty more texture bugs but i think these are enough, the ladder is just dumb.

Main Menu
This is the Main Menu screen to the version that we have, another exists that looks exactly the same but has green text instead. Both of these versions look the same (ladder still missing and all of the texture bugs)
http://puu.sh/rXHJA/fbd460263f.jpg

Darazanjoll tried out Claire A and it crashes at the Annette cutscene in the lab, from what i remember this also happens in the mediakite version

Text Speed
Very slightly faster nothing huge. To be honest it's not even that noticeable.

All of these problems and all we would gain is VERY slightly faster text, it doesn't seem like a version we could ever add to the leader boards and take seriously.

We won't be sharing this version as there is no reason to do so.

the main purpose of this thread is to share information about this version of the game, not to discuss whether it should be on the boards.

If Chinese/Taiwan is a copy of Mediakite /Platinum then only Leon A is completable anyway, as all other scenarios have crashes in them.

That title screen also looks terrible, for shame whatever designer made that. Kappa

Sourcenext seems to be the must reliable/stable version, lets not fuck with this garbage

Why do i remember something about this version a good few years back..

i have the english ver of the PC version cant get it to run (will look up sourcenext but they all seem to work with Jap only).

I cant remember but the Jap ver of the games used to be the easier ver and the PAL the hardest (going into memory) don't play Jap ver much hell cant find the Jap ver for the Cube.. PSX yeah no problem but PC and Cube nope

Easiest is Japanese. Hardest is both NTSC/PAL (only difference, iirc, is the frames per second difference in terms of gameplay)

It's no wounder the fastest times are Asian Copies
Now I know on my PS3 its the NTSC-UC version DS to be exact on a PAL PS3 which runs SOOO much smoother than the PAL version. Considering PAL was what 25frames and NTSCUC/NTSCJ 30Frames on the PlayStation that is. on the Cube I believe it was 50 or 60hz really depending on your TV

Anyone know where i can get Biohazard Japanese ISO for the cube?

Even still, the PS3 NTSC version (PSN) is still far slower than all other versions, pretty much. Emulation in general on PS3 is really slow in most cases on PS1, and the exact opposite for PS2 games.

As far as getting the Japanese Gamecube ISO, join the Resident Evil General Discord, here:

https://discord.gg/tpSu7Uv

and @Roo or @Nurma, both of them know where to get the Japanese ISO / have it uploaded on their Google Drives, etc.

Regarding PAL, there is actually a funny issue with PAL versions of the game, in that despite being slower gameplay wise... they actually turn out to have faster end-game times. Something related to how the IGT functions. lol

For whatever reason a lot of the Japanese GC ISOs are hard to find.

Most of them can be gotten through torrents, but it seems like a waste when there's people who have uploaded them already.

I usually use emuparadise or TheIsoZone. If they aren't on there, I usually assume I won't find them easily. Well, legit downloads anyway.
