unreleased GBC Resident Evil released

Clarky · Feb 6, 2012

An 90% completed version of Resident Evil for the GBC has finally made its way out, the game cannot be completed unless some cheat codes are used but shows an interesting effort to transfer a playstation game to a GBC

I'm very happy this was finally released. These unseen treasures are always so cool to finally see available to everyone, where previously they were thought gone forever, like California Raisins, and that Bionic game on the NES. Now we need RE 1.5 and the original Famicom version of Monster Party

Was the $2000 needed for him to release the game or was he just greedy?

Fixed.

Unfortunately the ROM is considered warez so no links leading to it can be posted. However, the news is absolutely true, I had a write-up sitting around since this morning, I was just waiting to see if it was considered warez or not (and it is).

Remember that linking to warez or uploading warez is punishable by ~~death~~ punishment so don't post it. It's probably incredibly easy to find with a quick Google search honestly, the news is up on a few sites.

I'll keep this thread open and make this the primary discussion on the matter.

I've just played it. I applaud the ambition but the game doesn't play too well.

Gintoki Sakata · Feb 6, 2012

Meh, who wants to play this if one could as well play the DS remake natively?

Akotan · Feb 6, 2012

While linking any warez site is a no-no, the most basic Google searching can find it easily enough.

BTW, RE's Game.com screenshots are somewhat better than this GBC version... I think.

It's like Lego Resident Evil=P

here is some info...

Details - Cart 1

Most people are probably aware of this title but for those that aren't – This was canned around 90% into development (so so close to release; what a shame). It was designed by HotGen to be a direct conversion of the Playstation original. Capcom refused the final build in 2000 saying that they 'were not confident that the product would have made both consumers and Capcom happy'.

I am running this fundraiser for a third party who does not wish to be identified. I do not personally own this cart so please do not contact me with regards to a private sale. The ONLY way this will ever see sunlight again is via the fundraiser.

The build that is to be released is very nearly complete in gameplay terms but when you get to the door at the Guardhouse Underground Watertank you cannot open it (even though you have found and have the correct key in your inventory). You can bypass this point by changing some memory values and 'jumping through' some of the rooms but I think we will leave that for you to figure out; keep some excitement in it.
You have unlimited ammo and the Zombies are very slow so the game itself is quite easy. The Beretta and Shotgun work fine, you can find the Bazooka but can't get it to fire!
The only enemies which work are the Zombies; Jawn is in the attic as usual but he just stands there and does nothing.
Plant 42 is present but again, it doesn't work.
Most of/ all of the cut scenes are present and work but I am not 100% if any of the endings work.

Details - Cart 2
Well after so many years without a single sniff of this ever seeing daylight, we are now blessed with a second cart! I am also pleased to tell everyone that this IS a different build.

I haven't managed to give it the full play test as yet but noticable differences off the bat are -
There is no 'Load Game' function available. If you select 'Load Game' you are advanced straight to character selection (As though you selected 'New Game').
Jill is not available as a playable character! Her ID is present but if you select her the game automatically starts as Chris.
Chris' inventory at the start of the game is different - there are still only 6 item spaces but you instantly have access to the combat knife, beretta and shotgun (all of which are selectable and working). The Map is also present and working.

That's about as much as I have managed to play it so far but I will have some time towards the end of the week to dedicate to more extensive testing and will update my finds as and when I can - this will be much easier when the tools to dump the rom are in hand!

~~Any hints...or file name perhaps?~~

Nevermind,
found it

mechagouki · Feb 7, 2012

Read the announcement on the front page, extract the salient information, google is your friend, it took me one quick three-word google search to find it. Now I just need to figure out how to get past the guardhouse door.

This is cool as a historical oddity, but of course a much better handheld version exists.

Can we still consider it an unreleased game if it has just been released?

It has no official release so yes.

Even if it doesn't hold up at all, it's nice that we have access to this... interesting attempt at a port. I'm not sure if it was doomed from the start or what; after all, Konami had success with their Gameboy version of Metal Gear Solid.

I've had a Tiger Game.com and RE2 on it and its one hell of a blurry mess with hardly like 2 frames of animation for each move! The sound effects is decent for what it was though.

From what I've played of the GBC version though its much more of a proper RE experience than the Game.com one though for me the sound is what lets it down massively.

MEGAMANTROTSKY · Feb 7, 2012

Huh. I never knew they even attempted such a thing. Reminds me of the GBC version of Donkey Kong Country. I didn't like that one, incidentally.

EMP Knightmare · Feb 8, 2012

I guess being an "old school" gamer I'm actually enjoying this cart.

If it should remind you of anything then I guess it'd be Alone in the Dark for the GBC.
