[RELEASE] [PS1] Resident Evil Ultimate Directors' Cut Dual Shock [MOD]

[TiredTeddybear]

So it was the 5th anniversary of this patch recently. which in itself was honoring the 15th anniversary of RE. My how time flies. I noticed a link was down, but the other one lasted 5 years.

I reupped the files, and made some mirrors. I finally made a proper patch for 1.021(before you had to patch to 1.20 and then patch to 1.021). So you can apply the patch directly to the original RE:dcds.
Maybe these two patches could be hosted here?

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi RekseW, I hope all is well. I know I'm way too late for this, but I've encountered a bug on Jill's path for Original Difficulty. It likely affects Beginner Difficulty, too, and seems to be the fault of Deranged Mode. Let me explain.

There's another room in the hallway leading to the storage room that contains the boss Yawn, who guards a Crest necessary to progress to the garden. One of these rooms has candles that must be lit with the Lighter in order to collect some items. (None of them are plot-relevant or even important.) If Jill gets poisoned while trying to collect the Crest from Yawn, there's a cutscene of her passing out; she's then transported to the medical room and treated with Serum. However, if this cutscene plays, attempting to return to the candle room will teleport Jill to the other side of the garden without needing to collect a single Crest.

(If you're playing as Jill, know you won't dodge Yawn, and want to avoid this bug, I recommend clearing the items out of the candle room first, then ignoring it for the rest of the game.)

I've played a little bit of Deranged Mode (Chris), and this bug stems from the fact that the candle room's door takes you to the garden on Deranged.

On a related note, a friend of mine has also reported an issue where Chris is supposed to say, "There are only three S.T.A.R.S. members left now: Captain Wesker, Jill, and myself. We don't know where Barry is." during the intro. In Ultimate Director's Cut, though, only the first part is spoken. ("There are only three S.T.A.R.S. members left now.") In place of the full line, the music glitches out a little.

Uncensored intro - https://youtu.be/_GyOYaDHquE?t=184
Japanese intro - https://youtu.be/PwYu-LOXAWQ?t=186 (Censored version, but just for reference since the song is different)
REUDC Intro - https://youtu.be/3Z32Lb62k30?t=407

However, I figured that this was actually intentional, since it makes no sense for Chris to say this if you start a new game as Jill. Still, it doesn't hurt to report it.

Thank you very much for all your hard work on this mod. I've enjoyed it immensely.

Just wanted to thank you for your work on this. Gemini has done some absolutely fantastic work on the Bio1 PC port, bringing it up to date and making it such a good way to play the game, but for anyone wanting a more "original" type experience, your patch plus an emulator like Mednafen is the way to go - especially considering the non-dual shock Director's Cut has issues on Mednafen (controller map screen appears unexpectedly on some camera transitions).

It's really great to have both!

Appreciated. Not going to lie though, I didn't understand 80% of what you just said

I want to do this though, so I will learn.

It's easy once you get the gist of it, granted it took me the best part of 10 years to figure out but that was mainly due to the scarce / contradictory information on the subject available.

Build your ISO with your modified files then open it in IsoBuster and create a filelist.txt that'll give you the new toc / lba info to correct in the psx.exe

Filesize should by divided by 2048 unless it's CDDA or contains XA audio data in which case irc it's 2352 just cross the reference files until you get the correct values listed in the psx.exe

Values will need to converted to hex then changed from big to little endian, then it's just a case of finding the hex values in a hexeditor applying
them to the psx.exe and reimporting back with cdmage, then'll you'll to fix the EDC/ECC with ECCRegen.

cdmage is the best tool for extracting xa audio / str movies from psx games no other tool does it correctly

Sorry to be so vague with details it's been a while, i'll try and find my notes for all the 1.5 patches I did alongside Dark Biohazard hacks.

[braders1986]

PSX-CDGen is useless because it won't adjust the toc / lba table in the psx.exe to suit your newly created files,
MarkGrass already put out few tools to rebuild re1/2.

BioScript and/ or BioFat, yeah?

I don't understand how to use it. I did also read up on changing the toc/lba, but I struggled to wrap my head around that too.

All I want to do is is keep the uncut videos and original soundtrack of this Ultimate Directors Cut mod, but keep everything else vanilla. Something that represents exactly what Capcom was supposed to do with DC anyway ( If the back cover is anything to go by ).

....And possibly change the cast intro music to the superior rock-ish song, and not the 'I got a shotgun' one.

@RekseW

May I ask what utility you use to build your image after editing/replacing files ?

I'm looking at doing my own RE mods, and I can't find a program that works correctly after replacing .str videos. PSX-CDGen doesn't like me at all ;/

Thanks.

Look at the bottom of page 3 in this thread, there is a link to the patch to fix the missing part.

After 11 days, thank you. Never noticed it.

The Intro is broken when you pick Jill Right before the mansion from the outside appears. Some frames when Chris says: "Jill, run for that house!" are missing! It happens after the second scene when it shows grass while Alpha team are escaping the dog monsters, right after Chris said: "No! Don't Go!" It doesn't happen when you pick Chris. I'm telling the truth! Or it's just me? Anyway, Can you fix it in v1.03?

So, I literally made an account on this forum about 2 years ago and didn't get an activation email till now (on Jan 29th 2017, WTF?). At first, I didn't remember why I wanted an account here, then I remembered it had to do with this project.
I'm trying (or at least, was) to compile a detailed change-log for this patch. I understand RekseW was keeping the exact changes a secret, however, the patch is 3 years old now. Maybe the details can be shared now?

What I've gathered from the thread,

• It uses the Dual Shock version as a base.
• It uses the uncensored FVM from the Windows95 version with the original “I got a shotgun” song from v1.0 of Bio Hazard on PS1.
• It uses the original BGM.
• It uses the original Japanese ending credits theme
• It adds back in the bloody handprint message from the demo.
• Adds a new "Arranged mode" called "Deranged", with new beta inspired costumes.

I've only played the GameCube remake of RE1 so it's hard for me to tell whats changed when playing this patch. Can RekseW, or other knowledgeable users, help complete this change-log/polish it?
Thanks for your time guys and thanks to RekseW for this impressive patch!

[RaccoonSurvivor]

Can someone just upload the already patched BIN and CUE files? Also maybe upload to another site like MediaFire or whatever..
what normally takes 5 minutes is taking like 45 to download and its annoyingly slow..

This mod sounds interesting.. really wanna play it on an emulator

[alf717]

Great mod. I have a tiny issue with the opening FMV. When I apply the patch 1.02 and the follow up patch when Chris or Jill arrive at the house they don't mention the other STARS members. It is like the audio gets stuck for that brief moment.
