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

[VGBB]

Left out by the original devs, the utility menu is likely only useful for development and debugging purposes, this build was intended for press so there's no need for them to have access to those sorts of tools. Room jump and weapon codes is about all they need to explore the games areas and get a look at its gameplay features.

That sucks. Do you think there is a possible way to hack and restore the menu? I remember seeing someone hacked RE2 beta 2`s debug menu to allow more options but they never actually told anyone how the did it and never released the hack.

As far as I'm ware the functions don't actually exist in beta 2, only the ability to "press X" on a given menu option, which is why each option turns out as a duplicate of JUMP when you press it as that's the only function that exists. The same is very much likely in the case of the Playstation Museum build (although who knows, I certainly haven't took a deep look at the games code to find out).

Here's a walk through walls code I found using CEP:

Elza walk through walls
800ACAD6 1501

Leon walk through walls
800ACAD6 1101

Used the Air Jesus Bug to find it.

Beware, objects and doors cannot be triggered using these codes. Also, the game crashes when you are using both codes simultaneously.

Both codes can be made undone by changing the values to 1500 and 1100 respectively. It would be handy if a joker command could be found. I don't know how to do this, so...

Shutter in Lobby Corridor is up
800B101A 0C00

Shutter in 2nd Basement is up
800B101E 0800

The same is very much likely in the case of the Playstation Museum build (although who knows, I certainly haven't took a deep look at the games code to find out).

I decided to try and see if I could replicate this behavior with RE2 beta2. I extracted the Beta 2's PSX.EXE from the ISO with CDmage, and searched for the "MONOSASHI" ASCII string, the name for one of the options in the debug menu. Now see the attached image, here's what I found:



Pay attention to the hex field highlighted in black, below MONOSASHI. From within this area you'll find 6 occurrences of the hex value "10 3B", and just one occurrence of the hex value "A4 36". If you replace all 6 occurrences of "10 3B" within the highlighted area with "A4 36", you will then have created the modification that makes all of the choices in the Beta 2's debug menu perform the room jump. Just hex edit the file, save it and import back in to the ISO with CDmage. Then launch the modded ISO.

I believe this could also be done via GameShark codes, but I'll let somebody else figure that out.

Maybe something else could be found (or not) if somebody can be bothered to try different values in place of "A4 36" and "10 3B".

Were the debug options stripped out of the game code? We cannot access them, only room jump, just like every other beta available.

My bad, that is what I meant to say, lol. Anyways, does anybody know where a list of rooms that work/don't work and weapons that do work. I am also still having trouble trying to make weapons and ammo appear. And what weapons work well and don't crash the game?

I found the joker

Elza walk through walls (L2/R2 = ON/OFF)
D00AC758 0001
800ACAD6 1501
D00AC758 0002
800ACAD6 1500

Leon walk through walls (L2/R2 = ON/OFF)
D00AC758 0001
800ACAD6 1101
D00AC758 0002
800ACAD6 1100

This watch is to be found in ROOM209. The "alligator room"...

Those codes are kinda useless, I know.
I was hoping to find something more rewarding, but that's all I got.

Thanks for the codes!!

And @ upa, Very cool

[90s Gamer]

Finally found the code for rapid fire for most directions:

Rapid fire
D00AC758 0088
800ACA5A 0001
D00AC758 1088
800ACA5A 0001
D00AC758 2088

D00AC758 4088
800ACA5A 0001
D00AC758 8088
800ACA5A 0001

Works with both characters.

Did you guys know that the Vanilla Build (at least) loads savegames with header/ID SLPS-00222 (which is the same ID as BioHazard)?



Maybe it'll be possible to create working savegames with this...

Maybe, but what's the point? The build is essentially just a preview of scenario events, there's no real progress to save other than perhaps a few event triggers and enemy deaths.

Ahhh ... the little "lid" that appears on the piece of equipment behind the console where you make the G-virus antidote ... the "lid" that disappeared in RE2 retail, although its former location is marked by descriptor text

This thing? I've been wondering what it is. It says something about a virus injector?
