I'm starting up this topic so I can keep track of my progress. It'll also be used to jot down some interesting notes as I go through the various versions of the game. I'm starting off with the original Playstation version. After that, I'll be moving into the Japanese, and then British versions. Rounding out that will be the famed German release, which has the full color intro.
Following that, I'll move off the Playstation and into the PC era, where I have a number of Japanese editions and one US. I also have a nice German one which should be very interesting to check out.
Finally, I'll tackle the Saturn releases.
I'll make a separate topic when I begin Directors Cut, but that'll be a ways off since this is what I'm currently looking at for the original release.
Special note: This officially marks (or, re-marks) the beginning of the Resident Evil 1 section

Awesome!
I was so happy when I found the long-box version of RE1 at a garage sale for $3... Makes me wanna play it again, too.

What makes me laugh about this post is that he actually edited it

Just please let me know if the intro is uncut on your PAL Sega Saturn copy, there's a few PAL copies around that have it.
As a Sega Saturn collector I'm interested in tracking it down.

Hey Dot, are you saying the original German Resident Evil (not the DirCut) has the full color intro? I know the German Director's Cut does, but I haven't heard anything about the original Deutsch Edition before. Originally Posted by Dot50Cal

I'm using a modified PS3 to capture in 720p, then I downscale to 320x240 (for the PS1 titles, since thats the resolution they really run in). This way, I have the actual hardware taking the footage and making it progressive rather than having to deinterlace it myself. Originally Posted by Stars1356

Pretty much everything you ever wanted to know about the game
. I really can't wait to get into the PC versions. Now that Meg has released that patch which fixes the frame rate problems, it should be great to finally play through it and get the PC exclusive weapons.

I never understood how to unlock those without a hex editor or a save editor. I remember one of the old PC magazines that had cheats printed how to get them with a hex editor, so even they didn't know how to do it properly
Quick question, whats with the 2 PAL Playstation releases with the different SLES numbers? Am i right in assuming one is the edited release with green blood? Or was that just a PC thing?

Back in the PS1 days, each different regional release would get a different SLES code, as there was only one language on each disc. SLES 00227 is French, 00228 is German, 00200 is English (released in every region which did not get their own language on the disc). Originally Posted by rewak
There is even an SLES 00200 disc released in Spain and Italy with those two languages on the insert, but the disc is identical to the UK disc, and has only English on the disc.
For late PS1 and PS2 games one disc usually had all the languages on the same disc, so all regions got the same disc packed with an inlay in whichever language, and with a different barcode.
So, if there is just one tiny difference, a disc will get a different SLES code even though it's the same game. Usually the only difference you'll find on such discs is the language, in this case the German disc does have a bit different content other than that, too.Last edited by Anders; 08-28-2009 at 06:27 PM.

So let me get this straight you are going to capture every play through from each version. Consider your server bandwidth dead when I download all of these.
What sparked your interest in RE all of a sudden? RE: DC dual shock got me on my survival horror kick but as of now I'm playing Parasite Eve 2. Anyway, have you gone though all of your copies of RE before or will this be a first?

Oh Man! HAHA An M249, that would take all the challenge out of the game though. It's got like a 100 bullet drum mag. it would blow everything away. I guess a MAC 11 would be ok though, since it would be just like the RE2 machine gun. Originally Posted by Vixtro
