Now I've to figure out what is it

Looks like the Master Key from Bio2

[geluda]

Nice! Wish I didn't have to go to bed soon.

I've read an interview with Mikami about Biohazard 2 in which he stated that the development team showed him their progress with Biohazard 1 (1.5, actually) every month so he could say what he liked and what not...
I am quite sure that this was no different during Biohazard 1's development.
(I am not sure how reliable the interview is, it was an "Engrish" translation of a Japanese text, but this piece of info sounds pretty plausible to me)

Besides, this build doesn't look like a preview copy for some magazine. (With test textures on the doors, seriously?)
I guess it must be an in-house WIP build... (Makes me wonder where it came from tough)

@kevstah2004:
The config menu is accessed in every Biohazard/Resident Evil release by pressing Select+Start, not just this one...
Only the Dual Shock version allows option changing directly from the title screen if I am not mistaken.

It took me quite a while to find out how to access the controller config in RE1 back then...

So perhaps this was a build where someone in house evaluated the game as a whole from start to finish, where things like debug options actually functioning correctly weren't a necessity? Unless everyone in Capcom knew exactly what they were doing in regards to map warping (this build seems to require some pretty intricate knowledge of what does and doesn't work), it doesn't make sense that a basic function like this would be buggy; unless of course it was a reject build (that could always explain how it slipped under the radar).

Uploading PSP version.

I teleported to the end of the game, watched the credits, then things got weird heh. Text not showing up and stuff not loading

[SonicBlue]

Hell yes!

[kevstah2004]

CUT MODE = Stops / starts the camera angle switch.
EVENT TEST = Press up / down on controller 1 to change event.
VOICE TEST = Press circle on controller 1 to play 00 to 85.
SOUND TEST = Controller 2 d-pad changes the X and Y values.
ADJUST LIGHTING = Use triangle / circle on controller 1 to increase / decrease values.

[Upaluppa]

Hell yes!

They are also in the final game, so nothing new here...
Only the Director's Cut does not have the Dumdum Rounds, they were replaced with the alternate S.T.A.R.S. Handgun.

Or are you actually trying to say that they have a different effect when fired with the Colt in this build?
Now that would be too cool to be true...

Edit:
Does the ammo counter for the Colt Python change to an orange color when you load it with Dumdum Rounds?
I know that it does in the Trial Edition, but somehow I seem to remember that the counter stayed green in the final build, or am I mistaken?

Edit2:
I am stupid, your picture actually shows the orange number, so it's still in there.
Sorry for asking before checking the pictures...

Something else:
You actually found them in a room while playing, didn't you?
Now that's awesome, they obviously weren't available without hacking in any other build we have played so far!
Makes me wonder if the Magnum Rounds are also available or if you only get Dumdums in this build (again, without hacking)...

The Trial Edition only had the Magnum Rounds as pickups available in rooms, if I remember correctly.

More on the Flag menu.



Go into debug menu and activate Flag View Mode, hold CIRCLE to move the green cursor with the d-pad, use L1 to switch menu. I'm not sure exactly what these are, but they appear to be milestones, maybe even potential "dip switches." They change with progess, these screens were taken after fifteen or so minutes play with Chris. You can see you have things like item flags which might indicate what items you have, or potentially can have. It'll be interesting to see how these change through the progress of the game and especially interesting if you can manipulate them your self.

R2 to change the values! Not sure why I didn't figure that out sooner. :/ Still not sure what it does though, if anything at all.

eheheh, they kill the Hunters with one hit, and yes, there are also the standard one (green), and also yes, I've found them in the room 717 LIBRARY B, solve the puzzle, and here they are, you have then to jump to the room 715 STUFFED ROOM, solve the puzzle, descend the stairs (remember to do that) and then warp to the 6xx tiger room

Mind posting some screens of your flag menus? Would be interesting to see how it's changed from a near fresh file to a semi complete one.

Good idea!
Comparing them could help us creating an all events done cheat with ease!

Something else, does saving on the memorycard actually work on epsxe?
I am asking, because on the PSP the game does not want to save my progress onto the virtual memorycard.

I can actually use the typewriter and create a file in any of the slots, but when I restart the game the slots will be empty again...
Using a cheatdevice to import .mcr files from the retail Biohazard which I played on epsxe long time ago works fine tough...

Edit:
Forget about the memorycard problem!
It looks like my virtual memorycard ran out of free blocks.
(I happen use one memcard file for ALL my PSX EBOOTS, wasn't a good idea, I guess)

More on the Flag menu.

Go into debug menu and activate Flag View Mode, hold CIRCLE to move the green cursor with the d-pad, use L1+Circle to switch menu. I'm not sure exactly what these are, but they appear to be milestones, maybe even potential "dip switches." They change with progess, these screens were taken after fifteen or so minutes play with Chris. You can see you have things like item flags which might indicate what items you have, or potentially can have.

Fixed.

[SonicBlue]

The Dumdum Rounds was already loaded when I've done the savestate, because the first time I've tried to empty the standard magazine into a Hunter the first died with 2 shots, and the second at the third shot made the emulator crash.

Save works as normal on epsxe, now I'll try to analyze the disc.

[geluda]

Thanks! They are most certainly milestones. I can confirm that item flags become checked (or unchecked perhaps) with every item you pick up, if you keep the menu open when you pick up an item off the field you can see exactly which item corresponds to which flag. For example, in your picture, all the zeros correspond to all the individual items you've picked up off the field...

For now I have to go to bed, but tomorrow I'll start a play through and try and pay close attention to each of the menus to see what corresponds to what. Some are pretty self expanatory, like scenario flag, but I'm curious to see what things like room flag or use flag actually represent.

I'm thinking now this menu might have been used for diagnostic purposes in case any errors were encountered they could see the exact conditions the game was in when the error occured, making it easier to locate and fix the problem...

[Enrico Marini]

Right, since there seems to have been no enemy swap codes yet (and I lack the time to traul through memory finding the codes), I took the 0804 Cerberus and the 1004 Chimera and ported them to the PC version (obviously using the original PCs animation sets).

oh yeah to get them to work, just dump the files into the RESIDENT EVIL\USA\Enemy folder. If you want them for Jill, just rename them to EM11**.

Would be interesting to see if they actually have AI in their respective builds.

[kevstah2004]

Enemy swaps seem to only work via RDT edits, I tried enemy swaps on the fly before but it only effects the AI not the loaded enemy model, i'll give it another bash though.

[SonicBlue]

New stuff?

[Enrico Marini]

Find the enemy code in memory whilst in the room and use Cheat Engine or what ever to freeze that byte, leave and re-enter the room. Hopefully, well most times I've done this, the game won't crash and apon reentering a room it should load in the correct model.

Is this new?

Don't remember seeing that before. Looks like the los illuminados symbol on the front. xD

PSP Version, confirmed working with 6.20 on the PSPgo using TN-D. Make sure your PSP can play custom games.
