Resident Evil 1.5 WIP Spoiler Thread (Post your screenshots, findings, observations)

[Aydan]

I remember pSX Author mentioning this to me long ago. If memory doesn't fail me, I have done some tests on the Director's Cut version with 1.14 and it had no issues, while the vanilla RE2 had problems after the violence disclaimer.

Ah cool! I know in 1.13 the original RE1, RE3 both work perfectly, it's just RE2 that has a few issues, the dual shock edition removes the memory card issue although it still retains the music playing over the credits issue.

With 1.13 and ePSXe the DIRECTORS CUT has an issue where the sounds for the opening movie as well as the guy screaming play even though you bypassedit to get to the main menu. It's cool it's been fixed though.

I really wish pSX was still around :/ I love the no hassle no nonesense approach.. Since you're a friend of pSXAuthor can you confirm he's okay health wise? I'm hardly expecting anything anymore but just curious since sometimes great dev's disappear due to unknown reasons.

Also if it's not any issue, is there anything significant it fixes? The recording feature means nothing to me really I'm so sorry if I'm being a pain,

It's not like any other type of evidence has been provided to make me think the opposite, except for a bunch of rather unbelievable excuses. An anonymous source, which is extremely reliable, informed me about this when the name of pSX surfaced, not to mention the way too many shady coincidences: it's more than enough to me.

I'm not saying that I don't believe you (I've had my fair share of anonymous sources as well), but to expect that other people will take your word on blind faith in your anonymous source alone is unreasonable at best. I have reason to believe that what News Bot reports is legitimate even though he can't provide any hard evidence, but I wouldn't blame anyone for taking what he says with a pinch of salt.

You can't persuade a jury of your peers if they don't have exhaustive evidence at hand.

I always wondered what happened to PSX v1.14... I love using 1.13 although it has a few little issues. One I recall was RE2 needing to save on memory card 2 otherwise it'd crash, as well as the ending themes playing over each other. did 1.14 fix that stuff? Just curious..

I guess it would show at least some respect to somebody who's been unawarely involved.

While you may be right in what you are saying, I think you have said enough. The discussion has gone way off-topic because of this squabble and now I think everybody knows Dark Biohazard may have illegitimately obtained psx 1.14. However, I am glad that he is using it for his hacks as it gives the rest of us more playability out of the game while we wait for a more finished version to release.

No worries about that, I can understand my posts could sound weird without knowing all the background facts. As for this being posted here under the light of sun, I made my posts public because people should be informed about this shady crap happening behind the scenes. I even posted it all in various degrees of information revealed, but it seems like the other part likes to play dumb enough to force me to go full public about the pSX question.

If this is an issue truly worth raising publicly, then either provide the people with full disclosure or keep it entirely private. You can't persuade a jury of your peers if they don't have exhaustive evidence at hand.

I'd love to be able to use the most updated version of the emu but since it's only a little collectors item between a few I guess I'm out of luck... ePSXe it is (shudder)...

Anyway, been a long time lurker, loving 1.5, yeah it's buggy, yeah it's been tampered with but lets face it, i've been able to run around all the locations as well as get more info on cutscenes among other things which is amazing after so many years of waiting and lurking. I remember first joining Bioflames in 2005 and learning about it all as well as all the things people were finding out... good times..

Shame about all the drama but hey ho it makes for good reading... Is there any footage of psx1.14 out there? I know I'll never get it but it'd be nice to see what was fixed or updated with it I guess. A shame the author just left it really, he was doing such amazing work with it.. hopefully he's okay though and nothing health related happened.

Well, it's a little annoying, and shady yes, but ... what are you going to do? The parties involved can just deny deny deny till the cows come home. And even if they admitted, what then?

This and the fact of being involved in a gigantic fraud on eBay, definitively something disgusting when you consider how pSX Author has been involved as well into this shit without even knowing - also the fact that Martin's been denying even after my source told me otherwise doesn't make it better. Now if dragging in the mud a former Psygnosis developer for personal monetary gain is nothing to you, I really dunno what to tell you.

Of course it is. But I didn't know these facts before, so I asked. Consider my post as non existent then.
But please, can you just PM him or contact him any other way? We really don't need more drama here.

[Gemini]

Is the author of the emulator a close friend of yours who's angry now?

Isn't that what PCSX Rerecording does?

More or less, but his hacks have been confirmed to work only on pSX, so it's not PCSX what he's been using so far.

So Gemini, what's your f'n problem? Did you write the emulator? Is the author of the emulator a close friend of yours who's angry now? Do you have any disadvantage by Dark Biohazard POSSIBLY having the emulator? Just wondering why you're getting so worked up about this, no offense.

The emulator doesn't have any particular characteristics, except the fact that can load stuff without the need of making an .iso, with this, someone working on the build, or any other game can actually edit data on the fly (after recompiling it).

If you have fallowed what happened (with Colvin trying to sell the build along with a "special" emulator) you will find out that the same emulator is being used by Martin, where did he find that?

Colvin gave it to him, along with the TEAM build, because without the emulator it cannot run (as Colvin stated). They were working together behind this mess? Did Martin actually bought it from Colvin? Anyway they were working behind the scenes maybe for hack out part of the content and claiming that this is the 40% build, and sell it, who knows.

Yeah. You can think you want man/women.

I just say you my method to record the 1.5 videos, if you not want to believe me, not care to me.

I will not reply you questions about this again, so, end point.

I really don't believe you as somebody who'd like to stay anonymous told me you had received something from Colvin, which also included pSX 1.14 WIP. Now you even make this shittier and pretend you don't have it, but it looks clearly the opposite and you've been so dumb to release those lag-less footages to actually get me interested in finding out how you got the emulator. Nice job, smartass, at least next time try and not go public with other people's work playing cool guy.

Just leave him be. We don't need this conflict to take over the thread. So what if he has pSX 1.14? I found it on on the net as well. It's out there for sure.

Pics, links, both?

This is such a damn pointless argument on your end. If you don't have proof then eave the guy alone. It only makes you seem like and ass for badgering him. "The videos lag free, must have 1.14!".

Read above.

FRAPS does not encode as it records and is why the file sizes of a FRAPS recording is always a HUGE file. (4.0GB's for 5 minutes of footage) It records RAW footage.

Writing uncompressed frames is *encoding* in real time, even if the real codec is applied only later. pSX does not do that, it records the hardware state and then it rewinds the whole segment, frame by frame, and encodes it all as it cycles again through the captured sequence. FRAPS does nothing like that.
