1. From desktop mode, download the offline installer files for RE 1 (exe and bin) from GOG.

2. Download and install Lutris via the Discovery App.

3. Download this lutris script (Thanks to eskay993)

https://github.com/eskay993/gamefiles/raw/main/resident-evil/resident-evil-gog.zip

4. Download the Mediakite Patch.

https://www.nexusmods.com/residentevil1996/mods/25?tab=files&file_id=61

5. Run lutris and add a game using the plus sign at the top and select "Install from a local install script."

5.b Drag the script file downloaded in step 3 into the lutris search bar and click install. You will see a second window prompting you to install "GOG with Classic REbirth." Click install again.

5.c Another window will pop up, and here you can modify the settings to your liking or just click continue.

5.d The next window will prompt you to locate the Resident Evil GOG setup exe, which was downloaded in step 1 and the Mediakite Patch from step 4. Drag the RE 1 exe files into the first search bar and the Mediakite Patch into the second search bar, then click install.

5.e Once again, ANOTHER window will pop up asking if you want the original experience or or high quality videos. Of course, you will want to leave the settings as is and click continue. Unless you want low res videos (which defeats the purpose of Seamless HD)

Lutris will begin running the installers once it's done. Click on close, and dont launch the game just yet.

6. Download this Resident Evil HD file (654.22mb file) by teamx

https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/224828?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.moddb.com%2Fmods%2Fresident-evil-hd-mod%2Fdownloads

7. Go the the directory where Lutris installed Resident Evil (you should know if you changed the install location in step 5.c or if you forgot you can locate the location by clicking the up arrow next to the play button in lutris, click configure and in game options you can copy and paste the location that is displayed in the search bar next to executable) and drag in all the files inside the zip file downloaded in step 6 into the root of the Resident Evil install location.

8. Download Seamless HD Full Mediakite (1.6GB)

https://www.moddb.com/downloads/start/254126

9. Drag all the files from the Seamless HD zip file into the root install location of Resident Evil and overwrite all files when prompted.

10. Inside the Resident Evil Install directory (where you just dragged in all the files) there will be a jpn folder inside that jpn folder theres a Players folder and inside that folder theres a file named w03.EMW rename the w03.EMW file to W03.EMW and place it in the Players folder thats inside the USA folder overwriting the old one. Delete the JPN folder, then create a link to the USA folder named JPN to mitigate crashing.

(To create a link folder, right click on any empty space in the Resident Evil install location, click on create new, select Link to file or directory, name the link jpn and link it to the USA folder. (If you don't do this, the game will crash when loading into certain areas.)

11. Inside the Movie folder on the root of the Resident Evil install location, you're going to want to rename these files overwriting the old ones.

Rename ed4 to eu4

Renamr ed5 to eu5

Rename pj to pu

Rename oj to ou

Rename stfc_b to stfc_r

Rename staf_b to staf_r

Rename stfj_b to stfj_r

Rename stfz_b to stfz_r

(Thanks to AdEconomy586 for pointing this out)

11.b (optional) If youre like me and like the original capcom cubes startup video I suggest you go into the movie folder thats on root install location of Resident Evil and go to capcom clips, cubes and copy the Capcom.mp4 file and paste it into the movie folder to overwrite the old one.

12. (This next step is thanks to Skau over in the SHDP Discord group)

Get dgVoodoo2 version 2.71.3 (NOT the latest version):

https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2/releases/tag/v2.71.3

from the dgVoodoo2 archive extract the following files:

dgvoodoo.conf MS/x86/DDraw.dll MS/x86/DD3DImm.dll

rename DDraw.dll to re_ddraw.dll, and move all of the files you extracted to the root of the game folder where ResidentEvil.exe is located

open dgvooodoo.conf in notepad, scroll down past the [DirectX] section, change VideoCard = internal3D to VideoCard = ati_radeon_8500 and VRAM = 256 to VRAM = 4GB. To remove the dgVoodoo watermark from your game, change dgVoodooWatermark = true to dgVoodooWatermark = false.

save the file.

13. Now go back to Lutris and click on the up arrow next to the play button, click configure, and go to runner options. Here, you disable the dgvoodoo2 option, and below, where you see DLL overrides, you will change the section that says ddraw to ddraw,d3dimm,dinput8,libwebp and save.

13.b from here, make sure you have made a shortcut to Resident Evil on Steam because we will be going into game mode.

14. Once in game mode, select resident evil and select the gear icon to go into settings, go to properties then scroll down to Game Resolution and change default to 1920x1080 and turn on the option below it called "set resolution for internal and external display"

15. Now go back to the Resident Evil menu and select the controller icon and map the R4 button to up arrow key and R5 to down arrow key so you can change the settings in the next step. Now start the game.

16. You will see a menu pop up, change resolution to 1280x960 (you can click on it till it turns blue and then use the R5 button to go down) and using the touch screen untick always boot in configure mode if you dont want to see this menu again.

(optional) You can make other changes in the configuration menu if you wish, but in my setup, i only changed vibration intensity to moderate and turned texture filtering off.

Click ok

17. You will be greeted by another window here you need to select the [Dev]Seamless HD Project (click on Resident Evil to make it turn blue and use the R5 button to go down making sure you select the [Dev]Seamless HD option.

Click ok

18. From here, you are done! You can play the game or follow the next step to bypass the menus all together.

19. (Optional but recommended) over on the SHDP Discord group the user Doze_D created a .bat file that bypasses the [Dev] Seamless HD Project selection menu and goes straight to the game.

Download the file from here

Place it in the Root of the Resident Evil install location, then open up lutris and click the up arrow next to the play button, click configure, go to game options and in the arguments section type in

start ResidentEvil.exe -dev_SHDP

(In the original post, it says to type in start Biohazard.exe -dev_SHDP, but both arguments seem to work)

The End!

That's it, Resident Evil Seamless HD Project is now playable with the US GOG version of the game thanks to everyone above who has helped make this possible

I'm relatively new to the Star Wars EU, I've seen all the movies several times but have just started watching The Clone Wars. I've recently decided I want to get more into the extended universe of Star Wars but I'm not really interested in everything. The main things I'm interested in are books or comics that enhance the movies and/or TV Shows. I'm not really bothered If the books/comics are Legends or New Canon as long as they add context for the universe and I can head canon them into existing.

For example I'm not interested in the Yuuzhan Vong because I've been told it's not very good and It's also non canon, but I am interested in The X-Wing series because it fleshes out Wedge even if the story is non canon. Because Wedge is still is a canon character so I want to know more about him. Likewise I am interested in the Thrawn because he's an interesting villain who still exists in the new canon, despite Heir To The Empire being Non Canon.

The sort of things I'm looking to read are things that add to the movies like:

• Rogue One enhancing A New Hope because It shows how the rebels got the Death Star Plans
• The Darth Plagius book adding new context to the Phantom Menace
• The X Wing books adding Character depth to Wedge in the Original Trilogy

If the story is about anyone in the main series like Luke/Leia/Han/Obi-Wan or Anakin I'm not really interested because I already know their characters and they've been fleshed out. I'd be more interested in something about Qui-Gon Jin or Darth Maul for example.

If anyone has any suggestions please let me know but please specify if they are new or old canon!

I plan to read the X-Wing Series and the Thrawn Legends & New Canon books. And I've already read the Darth Bane & the Darth Plagius books.

So I recently set up a home media server and was planning on setting up remote access using Tailscale which doesn't work very well with VPN's from what I have read.

I don't want to download things exposing my IP address so was thinking about picking up a Raspberry PI and running Radarr & Sonarr, then setting the PI to auto transfer to my server every 24 hours with any new files.

I've never used a Raspberry Pi before so wasn't sure if the Zero would be powerful enough to do this. It'd literally just be used to connect to a VPN, Download and transfer files on my network.

Would the Pi Zero be suitable or is there a better Pi for this use case?

Do you miss the days or fixed camera angles, janky combat and bad voice acting? Then this may be the perfect game for you!

Alisa is a love letter to classic survival horror games with a focus fixed camera angles, tank controls and obtuse puzzles. If you like the original Resident Evil or Silent Hill games this what you're looking for.

Alisa has a rather unique setting taking place in a large doll house full of creepy dolls, clowns and more monstrosities that I won't spoil here.

The gameplay has you exploring a large doll house (see: mansion) full of monsters and puzzles where you have to find the right key or item to progress. Ammo is somewhat scarce, however enemies drop currency upon defeat which you can use to buy upgrades and ammo. The upgrades include various dresses which give you different stat boosts such as taking less damage, or faster movement. You have to decide how much ammo you want to use to clear a room and whether it's worth the exchange as enemies don't respawn. After you finish exploring an area you will fight a boss, which upon defeat will give you access to the next area of the game. The combat can be quite difficult however the game has has some options to make the game easier with things like an auto-aim toggle,

The level design is quite good and the different areas of the game all feel unique with different enemy types, visual styles and music, and as you progress you'll find shortcuts linking the areas together for faster travel.

The develooper has continued to add support post launch and the patches have continued to add content including new areas and endings. There won't be any more content updates for the game, so now is the perfect time to jump in and experience everything. It takes about 8 hours to beat on your first playthrough, but there are 3 endings to unlock and New Game+ has additional features, so there's good replay value with bonus costumes and the like.

If you're a fan of old school survival horror pick this up you won't regret it.
