Re: RE2 Questions

Just ordered Resident Evil 2 for my PSX *finally*. But looking at the existing code setup in my GS Pro 3 and a game guide, is there any reason why Clarie's codes was given a seperate game menu from Leon's ? Or could I combine both Clarie's codes with Leon's codes ? Or will the game crash if Clarie's codes are on while Leon's are on ? It looks like it waffles back and forth between Leon and Clarie, so I'd have to be saving and restarting frequently to turn off one set to turn on the other set. But I am speaking with out any experience, don't have the game yet. So I ask you, could I combine both sets of codes and turn both sets on at once or will it cause problems? Thanx all.

The two discs are enough different that most codes will at the very least not work on the other disc. I believe there are some codes that are the same, but not many...

Yes, RE2, is two different discs (at least on the PSX where it all came from) but that is all ready known by now, blahhh forgive me for my 'lateness' I just had a system restore and took a few days to get back in here, because of my system restore placing my cookies acceptance very low.

Which makes me think and wonder now, maybe maybe, it is not the UBB, maybe it is all our cookies at times, but that is a whole other issue, anyway.

Anyway RE2 is sorta 'strange' on discs and charatcers...well not 'really' strange I guess if you understand the game programming, but strange otherwise...such as the different codes and thus the 'character codes' for example, Claire codes (on disc #2) is the same as Hunk, Sherry and Tofu codes. Yet Claire 'cannot' use shot guns and such as Leon can, thus on disc #1 Ada codes can be used and are same as Leon codes, and yet Ada cannot carry nor use weapons other then 'some' Claire weapons. Well yeah hand gun and knife ofcorse, but those wussy weapons heh I never count those as anything. Kinda strange...but anyway as I said, what is really sorta odd is that Hunk?Tofu character and games are on Clair's disc, not Leon's... yet never found nor ehard of anything using that 'extra space' on Leon's disc, that the 4th Survivor takes up. (Sure does not take up ALOT of space, but still is some, and really seems Hunk would be more so on Leon's disc, for 'space savers' as Hunk is basically Leon, just in a different 'outfit' ...ahh well those Resident Evil Oddities....

I wonder how different the addy locals really are for each disc, as on the newer ports of RE2, on GC and such just have one set of codes, not two, and rather ammusing on the newer veriosn ports, you can characte rmod, and not crash as you would always do on the PSX version dependible on where you were, and what disc and 'character' you were modding.

Agh, I'm going to murder this UBB soon... It's being too much of a pain to make it worth the effort of keeping... Having spent the last half hour fighting with it to let me login, eventually ending up switching browser versions... I'm not willing to put up with it, and nobody else should have to either.

Now for what I came to say in the first place:
I recently noticed that there's actually a guide for converting codes between different discs/versions of RE2 in the hacking faqs section... Might be useful, as I doubt all of the codes around were ever for both the normal and DS versions...
