Hey I would love to work on some modding especially Dreamcast Versions of the Resident Evil Games.

@Green Ranger could you share with me some Tools or where to get them?

Some Tutorials would be nice too if possible Thanks.

Some years ago I did some modifications to Resident Evil 2 for the Dreamcast. I didn't dive extensively into it... that is, until now.

After recently finding (some of) my RE2 material on an external hard drive, I've decided to get back into this and see what more can be done with the game. While I've actually made new progress since finding the backup files, I wasn't able to retrieve some crucial work from the past which I'm now forced to recreate when the time is right.

I'll be uploading demonstration videos to YouTube to showcase some of the things that can be modded.

You can also take a look at these Dreamcast screenshots. Click on each to see their full size-


You can mod playable characters. Shown below
is Leon's 1.5 texture mod (by Enrico Marini).

You can mod enemies/NPCs (textures shown in the 'After'
shot were done by Enrico Marini/Project Safehouse team).

You can edit enemy placement- add, remove or replace them. What's
that dog doing there? Shouldn't you face him later in the game?!?

You can edit the game's text.

Bonus look at another skin mod for Leon, this time replacing
Leon's original skin with a 'HD' Leon (by Enrico Marini).

Here's a link to the first demonstration video-



This 2nd demonstration shows examples of edited text
as 1.5 Leon interacts with various items in Kendo's store-



This one shows that speech audio files can be added or replaced. In the 'After' segment
of the video, Leon and Marvin exchange some different lines of dialogue with each other -



Stay tuned for future updates...

Hope we can play someday soon this beauty in our DC

Welcome to the Dreamcast Forum CORE316. Let me know which RE game you're thinking of modding (2 or 3) and exactly what aspects you wish to mod. This gives me a better idea on which tools to recommend to you.

I have a number of modifications in mind. Once they're complete and all confirmed to be running without bugs on the Dreamcast, there will be a release.

The GDI's too Resident Evil 3, Code Veronica/X English, Dino Crisis VGA (OX8C000100), D2 and even Carrier (OX8C000100) can all be played on the SD Card Adaptor with Retrodream 2020.

Just not RE 2 but with this in mind better to make modded gdi's available too. I would like to see new costumes for that Code Veronica X English version and even new cozies for Regina and Jill! Dreamcast needs more.

sd serial is too slow for wince games. But with an hdd and retrodream, the game run like a charm with 0.7.X loader

If it wasn't for Atomiswave releases last year I wouldn't had know about the adaptor. Been stuck playing same three games on my Dreamcast for years now. Not fussed about the gd mode thing just happy with the basic Card Reader honestly.

Bunch of games it can play very well with out a problem could always optimize games and remake the gdi i have for bunch of them downsample things etc the speed is the same as 4x cdrom so not that slow but the dreamcast has a 12x drive etc game was made to suit it would not be a problem i show this with my hybred ram cache reading anyways

[Esppiral]

Is it possible to replace the models with ones with higher poly count?
