So what about Biohazard 3?

I've looked about for it before never been able to find it between all my junk, I think it must of been a pre-release version though as it was a while before it came out officially, he also sold me sega sea bass fishing, thrill kill, ace combat 2 and that 5 in 1 Best 3D Actions bootleg.

There are those pics of the STARS arriving at the RPD right after the mansion incident, showing that both Barry and Rebecca survived. Also, there's a screenshot of the inventory with a chain as an item.

I heard there's a Hong Kong Bio 3 pirate which may not be entirely identical to retail. Must have been that one. Shouldn't be impossible to find.

The backgrounds of PC RE3 are 640x480, they have a better quality then the psx version's

PC:

Do you by chance have a download link to where you got these backgrounds? They look great!

Interesting stuff. It's surprising how little gold there is from BH3. If anyone ever finds those "bootleg" copies of BH3, shoot them my way!

Yep 11-12 years ago now, back in the 56k days it'll be on some Usenet or DC++ hub outthere no doubt.

I have a Bio3 bootleg...

Both the final and bootleg "prerelease" versions were ripped using the same app, but they have different filesizes:

Final: 688 MB (722,162,784 bytes)
Bootleg: 688 MB (722,172,192 bytes)

I haven't done a CRC check, but the executables are 1:1, so i'm guessing that the bootleg silver was improperly pressed/burnt.

if i remember right,it exist a hacked version of bh 3,made some month before the original release.I heard the voices at the game are missing..

Well, I was referring to different mostly on stuff here and there rather than quality-wise.

Thanks for the comparison, I never noticed that. Well I guess they obviously wanted to use the 640x480 resolution to include even more details in rooms. It's really interesting that they added a few details here and there.

The dreamcast port is a port of the pc version. You are right that the backgrounds are not in the same high quality as the pc ones but they are used there too. Maybe the look not so good because the used higher compression etc..

I also had a jap bootleg of BH3 back then, but I never had the idea to analyse it. I was to hyped by being able to finally play it. I waited for the us-ntsc version to understand every info the game contained.

Could it be this one?

(I blatantly stole this pic from: Lost Levels! It's not mine.)

Hey, thanks a bunch!
I'm going to download and compare them to the PSX backgrounds as well!

Edit/Off-Topic:
I just noticed that some of the smileys have been updated!
Cool!

Also not related but while searching for info on the Bio3 Hong Kong Pirate I found a disgustingly weird cover for the Russian PC version:


Does anybody know where this hilarious "Nemesis" depiction came from?
I've never seen this abomination of an artwork before...

[Anders]

Could it be this one?

Doubt it, but I don't know for sure. For some reason I thought the disc I'm talking about was factory pressed and came from the company which put the "P-logo" on their pirate releases.

Looks like Nemesis really let himself go in that picture

[Upaluppa]

Now don't tell me that this piece of "art" was actually approved by Capcom.
Nemesis' head is one huge mess up...

Also, there are some distinctive builds out there: the E3 build, the TGS build (this one is highly unlikely to be in some collector's hands though) and one in between the two from around late July beginning of August in which you can equip any weapons from one slot in the inventory (something similar to how you do it on BH2 beta2) and has the chain puzzle among other things.

I find this in old collection of BH3 Info: (The Chain in the menu of The E3 Build and in The TGS Build).
