While we are waiting for Team IGAS' Biohazard 1.5 restoration to be completed, could I interest you in some instructions about how to make Resident Evil 3 for the PC a bit harder to play in the meanwhile? I recently discovered something interesting for the year 2000 release of the PC port of RE3, if you NOP a certain instruction in ResidentEvil3.exe to be non-functional, the enemies stop losing health when hurt and become invincible. In the case of the zombies, you can only kill them by decapitation, but hits to the body will do absolutely nothing, creating a more challenging experience. Here's what to look for and what changes to make, you'll need a hex editor:
Hex edit ResidentEvil3.exe
Adress........byte string..............ASM instruction
00053588:i662996CC000000 sub [esi+000000CC],dx
Change this hex string into all hex 90's (NOP) to make
zombies nearly invincible, so that only decapitation
kills them.
Not sure if it works with the Sourcenext version. Maybe somebody with sufficient skills could port it? But I have the year 2000 release of RE3 for PC and this worked on it.
