Biohazard PC Patch (JP ONLY)

Ok I can run the BIOHARD since patch v8 :) Thanks SuperGamer, awesome work

Ontario, Canada

Does anyone know why this was made for just the Japanese version of Biohazard/Resident Evil?

United Kingdom

It was made to make it playable for speedruns. English version is slower, that's why the patch was never targeted at that version.

Does anyone know if Supergamer57 reads these forums? Or does he/she only post updates in them?

Trying to get a hold of them so that I can implement these changes in the North American version of the game in order to preserve it on newer spec computers.

United Kingdom

You can probably message him on his Twitch (SuperGamer57)

The difference between the two isn't too large, though. Most of the items have images to allow you to identify them if you don't read Japanese. It'd seem like unnecessary trouble, but if you'd be willing to learn how to fix the game best of luck.

A lot of people were attempting to fix this game for a long time, so as far as fixing the game goes it can't be extremely simple. Just saying you'd probably need some programming know-how, at least.

I had the same problem shadow. Make sure the ISO is mounted.

As Clix said, remount it. I'm guessing because the patch won't auto-redirect to the currently mounted ISO and requires a remount. So it'll just try to run from disc or something.

@FurryWulfz

I tried messaging him on twitch last month. Still haven't heard back.

I don't have too much programming knowledge, but am more than willing to learn to get this up and running. I've been monkeying with it for years now, talking with different people from all around the world. Trying to combine our efforts.

Anything that Supergamer could tell me about his process would be helpful.

I mount the iso, install the game, put on compatibility mode but when i try to open it either by biosoft or biohard (1.8) the prompt window will just shut and not launch the game. Any ideia how i can fix this?

United Kingdom

What OS are you on by chance?

Will the game launch without using the patch, as in, just launching the game from the mounted .ISO?

Thanks for the answer. Forgot to say... It's Windows 10 pro. The game does not launch from the mounted iso.. I follow all the steps of stevenmayte's video on youtube, have tried about 15 times. I've disabled the antivirus.

Specs: I5 4460 GTX 970

yeah windows 10 is a terrible OS for running imo and this game can be bad for windows 10 sometimes it will work or wont work on that OS what steps have you taken exactly so we can help figure out a solution for you if there is one OpieOP

@xxshadowxbossxx I appreciate the help. I've uploaded a video showing the installation and my attempt to open the game with the patch. On compatibility mode (95), the cmd just closes. If i put on service pack 2, it apparently is going to open but instead gives me an error. My guess is that i can't open anything on compatibility with windows 95 (if I put the setup.exe on compatibility with 95 it won't open either). Since the game only works on 95 mode, i'm stuck... I'm able to run BH2 sourcenext fine, but really wanted to run BH1 :/

Have you also set the Biohazard.exe in the mounted .ISO itself to compatibility with Windows 95?

It's weird because it looks like setup wise you have done everything correct, and everything is set out pretty much exactly as mine is. Only things different for me is:

  • I use MagicISO and not daemon tools.
  • I pasted all the games files in the Program Files section, as well.

I guess the fact the game won't even open regularly without the patch shows it's a problem with the game itself and how it runs on your PC, and not solely on the patch. Unfortunately, I can't help. It's a very old game, and might have issues running on specific hardware.

I don't know if anyone is even offering help with this anymore but the game keeps crashing for no reason. I followed all of the instructions and everything downloaded fine. Looks and plays beautifully for about five minutes and then simply closes. No warning, no error messages. Any help would be great

hey tony what OS are you on and what are your specs ? what part of the game does it crash for you ?

Btw, I was having the same problem as the Oculto. I formatted the computer and then the game started to work fine. I only installed the original drivers in windows 7, no updates.
