RPD Dispatch 2 - Playing RE2

[Stars1356]

I got through Leon A on the N64 just under three hours. I only found like three EX files during my play through. The only thing that sucked were the random resets that my N64 kept doing while playing the game. Luckily a little isopropyl took care of the issue. Plus Leon's nanosuit is great. Blasted me some zombies with my maximum strength!

I glad you mentioned the N64 for version, I forgot that I had it. I never really played it that much and think i will have to fire up the N64 after I get threw my exam.

I'm pretty much giving up the series, and before I went on vacation, I transferred all my RE/BH files into one folder the PS3. Apparently I had kept all my old files, which include complete ones for the PS1 trilogy. If you want, I'll forward all of them to you to sort out when I get back on the 20th.

The RE3 one is a JPN save, and it has a small AR connection. I had to use one to bypass the regional locking on the disc (remember that short lived pesky thing?).

I have a full DC1 save too... JPN. I played that version to death in 1999.

If I'm not mistaken, the PS3 has a filetype named PSV or PVS, I can't remember, but I recall reading that they are like a savestate, and not save data themselves or something.
I've tried converting PSV and other save files on the PC, I just don't find it possible, and as I've read from...ps2 mod tools? It's impossible.
That was a while ago though, so they probably cracked it?

All you need to do is take the PSV file, and put it on the appropriate folder within the bigger PS3 folder. As I recall, it's called Save or something (transfer some saves from the PS3 to a memory stick and you'll know which one it is).

Transfer it back to the PS3, and voila. Then you can copy it to a PS2/1 memory card.

Swap Magic v3.8 boots incompatible PS2 games and cheat discs on the PS3 it bypasses the hypervision.

Dot,

Action Replay/GS don't work on PS3, so no cheats were used. I have tried to get AR/CB/GS to work but to no success.

I just played through Claire A on the Gamecube with a fresh memory card, finished in 01"23"09 and saved Leon B. It now works fine the fire is now there.

However when I switch the Gamecube off, swap the memory card and load the other Leon B, the fire is still NOT there. Very strange.

Does anyone think it would worth checking out the rest of the game, with the Leon B game, with NO fire to see if anything else may have changed or doesn't happen?

Does anyone know if there are any records online of the fastest times? Would love to try and beat them.

@dot

if your interested in PS1 version saves, here's a save file i submitted to gamefaqs years ago, it has cleared game saves for all 4 scenario's beaten on hard difficulty as well as hunk and tofu unlocked.

only for RE2 dual shock edition though.

Resident Evil 2 is, in my opinion, the best title in the series, and to a point, I feel like it's the perfect sequel. It took the great aspects from the first game, and expanded upon them, while not changing anything too vastly. It deals with the aftermath of the first game, while creating a new story for itself, so it never felt like a rehash of the first, and allowed new players to pick up and play, without feeling they needed any baggage (Something that clearly worked, as Resident Evil 2 is still the best selling title in the series too).

I think we can focus on just PS3 saves for now ;) I'll look into converting them to dex drive (i'm sure its not very difficult).

In Australia I've got Tofu unlocked on the PAL version of Resident evil 2. So I can probably help you guys out with that. Hunk too of course.

Pistol rounds.

Pistol rounds on Claire Scenario A - shotgun shells on Leon Scenario B.

[Dot50Cal]

If they are on the complete disc, I don't need em ;) I have it already haha. None of it was done with gameshark, right?

[FeurMensch]

Dot,

The RE2 saves are for Leon A+B/Claire A+B and Hunk/Tofu/EX Battle modes unlocked. I have to find a spare Flash drive so I can copy them for you.

Do you want the NTSC-J saves as well? I can get them off the Complete Disc for ya. Also in our Bio3 save, we have everything unlocked (except Infin. Ammo) and also have all epilogues.

[Mr. Spencer]

I'll have to squeeze some time in to play RE2, considering how busy I am getting ready for a formal event in a week's time or so. I also need to get the last two Yashichi pick-ups on Rearmed.

the only thing that stays is the side pack and the SMG you find in the RPD locker.
