The sourcenext and Classic REbirth patch for Resident evil 2 is working. The conditions are still the same. In the launcher, select the Japanese language. There is a nuance here, in order for sourcenext to work in gog re2, you need to do one of two things. 1) Install the HD mod from TeamX. 2) Or just copy the videos of the sourcenext version to the GOG version (This is if you are not tired of HD mods). Yesterday I did both the first option and the second and everything was launched from under the GOG galaxy client, the main thing is to specify the launch of bio 1.10 exe by default and the time will be counted to you. Unfortunately, cloud saves will not work, since the save folder in gog re2 has a different name. I saw above that the method with Unofficial SourceNext 1.1.0 conversion patch for RE2 also works, I also tested it, but the randomizer does not want to work with it, and the method that I described above, the randomizer started up without problems.

Kingphil006: It works but unfortunately the classic rebirth dll doesn't recognise gog executable so you can't boot the game from gog galaxy or the official shortcut, this is not really a problem tho.
I renamed it the same as GOG executable and have been able to boot it up from GOG Galaxy no problem. Tested the shortcut just now and it worked as well.

SilverGhost13: Installing those mods game give me an error. Invalid CD key. Any thoughts?
Did you ever get yours fixed? Because I can't get classic rebirth to work even with the sourcenext patch and the game set to japanese. I'm giving up and launching the sourcenext version if I can't figure it out =/

Nechigawara linked what you need ...

OK, I got a solution.
Install this over gog RE2 works. My game boot now with REbirth.

Unofficial SourceNext 1.1.0 conversion patch for RE2 Windows 95-98 , google it and you willl get a cd key in this downloaded folder.

I also i got biosourcenext110 (also google it) and in the file you download there is an updater and it gives you a bio2 exe that allows the game to work when you put the updater file into the game exe folder and hit update.

After that when the rebirth set up screen comes up i put the cd key i got from unofficial source next and the game has worked since.

Thanks, I got that far. The issue I have now is "Some of the data could not be loaded. Please insert the game DVD". LOL.

Did you copy over the contents of the folder sourcenext 1.10 within the unofficial sourcenext 1.10 conversion patch for RE2 windows 95-98 ? it contains common, P10,P11,Savedata and Zmovie folders that you again put into the exe folder and overwrite and files it asks for ?

Hi guys,

I have a question. I have modded the game now with rebirth and seemless HD mod. It works flawlessly but there is one issue.

How to set custom resolution? I have the problem, that the ingame resolution is fixed to only 3 resolution I can choose from:

- 640x480
- 960x720
- 1280x960 (native resolution of pre-rendered backgrounds)

Thats freakin it!? I also have "Fullscreen", but this is also capped at max 1280x960 from what I can tell. How to set everything to 4k? And use AA and AF.

The backgrounds are high res but they are not matching the pixel pattern, thats why they look "edgy" on fullscreen

TeekTheGamer: If you're just running the SourceNext version... what's even the point of having this version?
avatar
Nechigawara: So you don't have to pirate SourceNext version? Since GOG version can be bought within 3 minutes.

And Classic Rebirth (right now) require only SourceNext version, so yeah, we have to convert GOG version to SourceNext version if we want to use it.
It takes three minutes to find SourceNext. You'll come across multiple avenues of finding while you're looking for Classic Rebirth in the first place. It'll take longer to convert this version into the SourceNext version than it would to just find it directly.

More to the point though, the SourceNext version uses Japanese enemy/item placement, whereas this version uses the North American enemy/item placement. By converting it, you're losing the game's best selling point.

Well, that's up to people to choose. I still prefer to use GOG version as a base since it's offer Cloud Save Back Up but still want to use Classic Rebirth to depixelate the background. I don't care about the item placement.

SourceNext and Platinum are actually identical in terms of difficulty and everything. SourceNext Arrange mode maps 1:1 to Platinum Original mode, so you're not missing any JP exclusive difficulty content.

I just want to take a moment to mention that the Classic REbirth HQ Music & Sound mod seems to work with no issues after installing the conversion patch. I renamed the fixed stereo exe in the second link from BIO2.EXE to ClaireU.exe and I made a copy called LeonU.exe to replace the originals and to avoid setting a custom executable.

P.S.
If you want to change the icon for the replacement LeonU.exe to match the original, Resource Hacker is a great program to use to do that.

I don't know why you didn't delete that damn CD key for RE2 SN. Sometimes the game asks me to insert the DVD, but not all the time.

Is there a simple installation method? like the HD mod for RE4?
