Arathian.837: It seems weird it works if it's suppose to be done off of the Japanese version. When mine boots up it shows, and does the engrish sourcenet jingle, the opening screen says resident evil 2 and not biohazard(honesty while it's hard to stop calling it RE now, Biohazard it's a better name really) but I played it on arrange and it seems like it has the same enemy placement and amount I remembered when I bought the game in like 1998 for PSX.

I wonder if me doing the English version messes anything up or not. By Japanese, you'd use the- I'm using the offline installer(galaxy doesn't seem to work the best for me and I like the offline if they suddenly decide to stop having the games up) so if I was to do it again with the Japanese I assume I just scroll down with the language option when I click on the installer and go down to the kanji option(I assume it's kanji anyway)
Classic Rebirth completely translates the game to English, so what you're seeing is how it's supposed to be. Honestly if it's working, I wouldn't bother with it, besides deleting those RDU folders. But yes, what you described is correct on how to install it.

In Sourcenext/Classic Rebirth for both re2 and re3, Original = Japanese/easier difficulty, Arrange = American/harder difficulty. So if you're playing arrange, it'll be how you remember. This is reversed if you use the standard GOG version

mvp13: For the install order, what I did or would do is:

Japanese GOG > conversion patch for re2 (not needed for re1) > classic rebirth dll and updated .exe files > teamx HD mod > shdp HD mod > HQ audio mods (it's hard to say if TeamX already comes with these... it's better to just make sure, since the HQ mods have been updated since TeamX anyway) > if you are happy with the movies, then stay with them, otherwise check out the multiple movie mods (whether it's the HQ ones, or the ones that remove subtitles).

.Keys: Thanks for the tips!

mvp13: Hey, I just wanted to share about the DuckStation thing... this is a very per-game setting. It's not one size fits all. The settings I recommended originally seem to only work with re1. For re3, I couldn't go over 5x for both settings. For Dino Crisis, I couldn't go over 2x for both settings. Unfortunately, you'll just need to play with it and make per-game settings, but it definitely can work. I know this is off topic, but I just wanted to throw that out there. You'll know if it works or not when you go to open a door. It'll infinitely load if you have the setting too fast. Obviously the lower the setting, the more jarring the transitions are, so you'll want to test this considerably to get as fast as possible.
Thank you for explaining throught again.
I will update the OP with your directions as they make sense, but as explained, I will not be able to test them yet.

About Duckstation and emulation, though, yes, I noticed what you said with the infinite loading and I tried experimenting and it seems to work differently for each game, as each game reacts differently for different read speeds.
Thanks again. :)

GeminiREbirth: Outside RPD (front and back), in Marvin's office, probably somewhere else I forgot. Also pls, let's not call it the "GOG port", GOG didn't port anything. This is just Platinum Edition with a bunch minor patches, so same bugs as the base game.
Why do you seem so upset about the GOG version? Is it because it makes fewer people use you're mod now? I like your mod, by the way, but I see no real point in using it now.

This coming from someone who beat all three with you're mod and the two GOG versions. Thought the guy behind rebirth would be more happy. Lol

I ask you guys to please not derail this thread into comments like this so that we have no risks of it being closed.
As Im also using this thread as a personal backup list / reminder of the compiled list, a future reference for modding RE and a way to seek forum help, I'd also like if it could be preserved. Thanks. :P

What makes you think I'm upset? It's simply not a "GOG port", like I've seen other people call it. A port is something else entirely. And no, it's not about people using Classic REbirth -- over 100k people have been using it for the past 6 years, so I couldn't care less about which is more popular.

I'm not talking about the port comment at all.However, it's evident from a few comments that you're a bit salty about something The fact you pulled the number game out is funny.

You mean that it's evident that I'm implying GOG's work is very basic with these releases? Well, in that case, very intentionally yes. :)
I'm trying to get this stuff to work in Resident Evil 2.


I've installed the mods as suggested in the OP, but get the error "Some Of The Data Could Not Be Loaded"

That's mean you installed it wrong.

Thanks, dude.

Wanna post a step by step guide so I know where I went wrong?

Thanks a TON.

The OP already has a lengthy step by step guide, and all the mods have readme's telling you what to do. If there's something specific giving you trouble, then ask that. It's best to boot the game after each step just to make sure it worked.

It appears that you are quite upset about the GOG release, considering you keep calling it basic and based on some of your other comments. However, many others have praised GOG for the Resident Evil 2 release in reviews and YouTube videos, commending their work. It seems like you've been quite negative about the whole situation and appear to be more envious than anything. Instead, you should be happy that we have the option to buy the Resident Evil trilogy again for PC, which works right away without the need to find pirate version and install mods to make it work. I don't hate your mod, by the way. I quite enjoyed using it.

Saying this is a basic release is laughable. Basic release would be something like dark souls 1 on PC. Remember that bull crap. Lol

Anyways going to use steamless HD on my Leon playthrough this weekend. Thank you for the links again key.

Yes, it is absolutely cool that GOG released the original Games! I am very happy about it, especially because there is no legal way to obtain the german version of RE2!!!

However, the wrapper from Gog is not that well refined. It doesn't support higher resolutions and the integer scaling is practically useless. As you see in other posts, the use of outdated video codecs has it's downsides also.
On the other side, if you dive into the ClassicRebirth project a bit deeper, then you will realize, how many improvements CR has. Wait until you see RE3.

So, yeah, the release does it's job, but in a basic way. I don't rate or hate Gog. It is just how it is, without any malicoius thoughts. If they had talked to Gemini, maybe the release would have been more up to modern standarts.

Hello, just to clarify, yes I understand what you guys were saying. :)
I think GOG team is mature enough to receive criticism and deal with as means to be better as a company so personally I don't mind reviews and analysis over GOGs ports in this thread.

The point I was trying to make is for us to not deviate this thread into personal opinions of others' behaviours, as this kind of, well, behaviour, tend to be moderated quickly on General Discussions.
