Resident Evil - Code: Veronica X (ViolentlyVia)

Game: Resident Evil Code: Veronica X → (PS2, 2001)

A native Windows port of the US PS2 release (SLUS-20184): the C code of the recvx-decomp decompilation is built with MSVC as a regular 32-bit program, and the PS2 hardware and SDK (GS, VU0, the IOP sound driver, memory cards, disc drive) are replaced by a PC platform layer, with no emulator. It includes Biorand++ (cvx-rando.exe), a randomizer based on BioRand that shuffles items, doors, enemies, music, and NPCs and writes the changed files to a mod folder, without touching the game data; it is still in progress. According to its README, the game boots and plays, and testing so far covers the opening (prison, explosion, graveyard), saving and loading, and randomized runs. It has OpenGL 3.3 graphics with 3x internal resolution by default, widescreen, PCSX2 HD texture packs, movies converted once with FFmpeg and optionally upscaled 4x with AI (Real-ESRGAN), ADX music and voices, sound effects with room reverb, fast-forward, and gamepad with vibration. Version 0.9.95 (October 31) is a zip of about 62 MB with the port, the settings app, and the randomizer, with no game data.
