Since this wasn't done in the first place. Might as well do this now. I vote no

Chile

If the version is not legal, I vote no. Also, we need some proves to see if the chinese version is legal or no.

Japan

If the version is not legal, I vote no,too.

São Paulo, Brazil

If its not a legal version, i vote no

Sweden

I've sent a email to Capcom Asia both in English and mandarin regarding this. Still no response from them. In order to prove that this version is infact legit we need proof from a legitimate source. Positive claims require positive evidence and since most of us if not all don't claim that this version is legit then we don't need any evidence to prove that it's not legit.

To sum it all up it's not legit until proven otherwise.

Unless someone finds a real copy of this (which is taking too long tbh) I say we should not use it at all for speedrunning.

Sourcenext RE2 and Mediakite RE3 might not be the best, but at least we know they're legit releases.

It's hard for me to vote no on the chinese version, since it pretty much means refuting my spot on the boards and the time I spent grinding it, but I've always said that china doesn't feel legit. I just wish a lot more discussion was done before I was given the go-ahead to run this.

I vote no, but make sure that this is properly looked at before the ultimate judgement is passed.

This thread is a huge circle jerk. None of you even actively run RE3 PC with the exception of keny, Roxy, and HatsKuSakura - please correct me if I'm wrong. Why should THE RUNNERS of the game be subject to this arbitrary ruling? This would totally invalidate the the amazing runs achieved by Wusscake, WolfDNC, and Magn00zl, among others.

Hands down, the "China" PC version of Resident Evil 3 is the smoothest running copy of the game. There isn't any menu delay compared to it's inferior Japanese version.

I vote -YES- it should be allowed. evoChina CHINA #1 evoChina

WE tried to bring a faster easier to use version to the field to make people happy and bring back runners into this game and all I hear is BabyRage of non-active runners of the game.I showed what the differences are between JAP and CHN and how visible the input drops and delays are between this 2 versions. Everyone has to run this game at 320 x 240 to accomplish this? It is sad how so many great runs have already been accomplished in this version and the superiority of the version has already been shown and we still hear complains about it.

I vote for also YES it should be allowed

p.s. All this talk about been "non" legit and most of the runners I hear talking hear use SRT, is SRT a valid legit way to run the game? We are all suppose to know the HP of your character bullet count and boss HP ? Noone started a vote on this and all stay quiet because all use it and made the game easier, but yet they complain about this version been "non" legit. ¤sigh¤

Spain

58 runs on JPN vs 9 on CHN.

To be honest, it's not too late to go back to Mediakite.

Wolf, duds and wusscake, I totally understand the frustration of active runners that have switched to the China version, but let's be REAL for a moment fellas, you know this version might be a bootleg and we can't prove at all that it existed as a retail version.

England

Doesn't RE2 sourcenext fall into the same catagory? lol

Spain

Why AndehX? Sourcenext is an original release, you can even get it off ebay / amazon nowadays.

California, USA

FurryWulfz, you bring up a great point about the version of the game being unobtainable. This is something that I had not considered upon writing my post. However, my vote still stands.

England

Well I have no idea how legit or "endorsed" the sourcenext version of RE2 is, but my personal vote for this chinese version of RE3 would definitely be no, if its not legally obtainable or endorsed by Capcom.
