    The games in bold are the issue-resident evil rebirth IS one.

    Rebirth is a remake of the first-but to my knoledge-they never ported straght one.


    So what is happen here exactly?



    Also-one I can confirm a duplicate.


    Rally Championship (U)(LOONYCUBE)

    Rally Championship (U)(SYNDiCATE)


    Dumped by 2 different people-yet same game and region-why is this?


    Just pointing that out-sorry to disturb, I just happen to know a bit of gc-and was browsing thru new uploads-with duplicated removed it could mean more space on servers-and less questions.


    Just saying :)

    The rebirth games are Gamecube games. https://www.romulation.org/downloads/search/resident+evil/ Resident Evil was 'remade' for GameCube.

    As of the Rally Championship games, they both have completely different filesizes, so there must be a explanation for the inclusion of both of them.

    From what I know, only 'rebirth" was the only version of the original ported to gamecube.

    Rebirth had re-made visuals-and new features such as "lisa" in gameplay.

    I put this here just to back up my claim, the only port of the original resident evil is "rebirth" which I proudly own :D

    Unless someone has downloaded them both I can't back up my claim much more-as I'm aware different file sizes-dirrent dumps compress differently prehaps?


    And my same thought to the rally games-unless someone downloads them and test...well :(



    If someone could look into the files instead of just seeing the file sizes that would be great.


    Sorry to be a pain-I been following the resident evil games on gamecube for a long time :)


    (only other explanation is it's a psx version transfered to cube-which would be pointless as rebirth was the one-off)

    Sorry to bump this, but I'd like to show this to SEPH.

    If any you know sir what is going on I'd like to know-I would have downloaded these to prove it but I cannot.

    Also-from experience with other gc isos the sizes can vary with compression-see donkey konga 2 for example-it's 1.35 GB here...

    I got a copy that's 235MB-so different compression leads to different sizes.


    If you see my post sir SEPH that would be nice and put my worries to rest.

    I've already seen it, I just don't know what to comment on it, they have different names, they have different file sizes, it might be a port hack or whatever, but I see no reason not to have them both.

    Also, they're compressed completely similarly.

    Hrm, if I download them both one day I'll let you know what they are-I still have reason to believe that it's resident evil rebirth twice (the original wouldn't need 2 disc-sure it can fit on 1.35GB of space-number 2 did)...

    As for rally-it's possible it may be a different language but in nstc format-but until I see it I'll have to wait and see.

    If anyone who has the ability to burn and play these-can they please test-as my crappy download speed means I can't even download more than 500MB a night :(
