How do mean the characters are in the wrong direction I followed it around be unspinning it, do you mean back to front as in Japanese?
Hi KH2K4, Unfortunately, you only flipped the "カプコンに" part - now it's all upside-down! If you invert it then mirror the image, it'll read correctly, but still needs to have the "端を押しバイオハザード" part added at the very end. The Japanese text on page 2 of this thread appears to match that written on the disc itself. Apart from being a bit unusually worded (even by Japanese standards), it doesn't seem to contain any further clues as to the disc's origin.
Here's a fixed one I made for what it's worth to anyone.. Also, i bid just for the heck of it lol. I've got my doubts, but someone else will inevitably bid anyway and I don't intend to go further The fact the disc doesn't work in a disc drive though already sounds a bit alarming. About Bleem on the DC, are you sure you're not just hearing things? I can't count the amount of times my mind expects sound when there is none on say, a video or something, and I end up hearing something that isn't there.
Ok thanks for that, do you know of any decent software for Kanji /Katakana OCR though? only one I know is http://maggie.ocrgrid.org/nhocr/ but the pictures need to near crystal clear quality.
Its deffinate sound from bleem, got abit further just before, Got passed the flashy capcom screen and to the biohazard 2 screen before it locked up again.
If you manage to dump the disc or get that cd/dvd drive working pcsx has a port for mac http://pcsx.gpost.dk/ http://pcsxr.codeplex.com/releases/view/50048
You should snap a shot of the title if you can, since I'm assuming there's something there that gives away if it's an earlier version or not. Right guys..? =p Again, I don't know Biohazard at all so i have no idea what be looking for :x
The eyeball for the title screen should be different to retail version. Should also say 1997 instead of 1998.
Well i got the second disk to almost work, its a text document titled " Sir Clive Sinclair, Thank-you" but it wont open on the mac, but its rather large for a document, being just over 17mb
I just googled clive sinclair and its some inventor guy, the title screen didnt say trial edition either, just biohazard 2 with the voice over. A friend of mine in the UK just said that Sir Clive Sinclair used to do the occasional reviews of games and consoles for EDGE magazine, but i cant find any info on that.
Here's the leaked footage from the build in the wild http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO3Jpng6YGA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgAEZ1_JX00
The 1.5 version shouldn't say trial edition. Now we are getting somewhere does it have the trial edition eye?
Where are you located? There are plenty of us willing to lend a hand. Edit: Ah Australia, Im sure someone would be willing to help out.
i tried to check the differences in the eye, but now the capcom screen loads and flies around, then it locks up just before the word comes together and i get sound freeze, just scared the shit outta myself because i has the TV volume up to full and switched back to TV haha
Next chance you get, definitely try to take a pic so we don't have to keep pestering you with questions which require you to try to get the title to come up again =p
