sorry to bring this up in case it's known already.
i am not into speedrunning but i do contribute to redump, and i collect this and that, including asian variants.
sometimes a disc cover may look the same or very similar, but the content may be different. i've found a couple of software revisions which i'm happy to share if needed. if it can help get better times for speedrunners or whatever.
so far this is what i have (ignore the "complete guide" entry which isn't a game) - every entry has a unique disc content (it might be a more recent .exe file or anything else):
Hi! I'm interested in trying out the versions of re1, re2, and re3, all of which you shared in the image.
I test builds. I've already worked with the Rebirth version. I'd like to try out the other versions you have. Send me a message on Discord or write here.
I had totally forgotten about this post hahaha I sent you a message in your DMs a while ago, but I believe you didn't see it. I'm interested in testing the Chinese versions of Resident Evil 1 and 2.
