Biohazard 2 - Beta 2 - Fixed image
OK, this is gonna be quite difficult for newbies, as this is rather dedicated to those who already know this beta, but everyone is free to download and try this
What's this all about:
This is the Biohazard 2 so-called "beta 2". Many people know this one. What they usually don't know is that there are two dumps of this beta floating around.
The first dump is 690 mb, the second dump is 780 mb. People used to call the former, 690 mb dump as 'corrupted'. Well, they are quite right, but what they don't realize is that the 780 mb is 'corrupted' too.
Now this is where the excitement starts.
The 780 mb dump has 3 corrupted sectors: 195781, 199512 and 303794.
The 690 mb dump has 9 corrupted sectors: 5968, 6170, 182955, 182992, 183046, 204942, 277924, 292709 and 293075.
In all sectors except the corrupted ones, both dumps are the same, meaning they are made from the same media.
What I did is I have taken sectors 195781 and 199512 from the 690 mb dump and replaced them in the 780 mb dump, fixing 2 sectors - out of 3. The third corrupted sector can't be fixed, since that area is completely missing in the 690 mb dump.
I tried booting this up and it works flawlessly.
So, unless someone ever comes up with an original media of this thing and dumps it again, properly, I think we all should consider this *fixed* dump as best as we can get right now. Critique is welcome.
This fixed image has been already tested, reports:

I checked all the rooms using JUMP option in the DM as some of them crashed in other "corrupted" dumps of BH 2 Beta 2 and ALL of them work 100% (no crashes, no black screen, no corrupted backgrounds) except room 609 KOSITU (PORT ROOM A).

[The 609 KOSITU room] problem happens in the [original] 780 mb dump too, half of a second after you teleport to the room the game freezes but the sound continues, a second later the sound stops too.

The flamethrower which is supposed to be in the locker in the labs is not there. You have to get this flamethrower in the final game to kill the plant and get to the room 609. And I think this is the whole point here. The flamethrower is not in the beta, meaning the kill plant aspect is not implemented and come to think about it, it's not needed either. In the final game, you just get ammo in that room. It was added at last - not really touching the gameplay at all. Now, if you enter 609, you're in that room without having killed it which i guess could result in an error.
