To install Resident evil 2 classic rebirth we will do almost the same steps as the previous tutorial "Installation guide for resident evil classic rebirth " but with some variations.

Resident evil 2 classic rebirth consists of several patches specifically for MediaKite's Japanese release of the game, its main goal is to run this "old" game on current computers.

Installing the game.

1.- As we have already seen, the Japanese version of this game is needed, so the patches will not work in other releases that are not from Japan.

2.- Once you get the game, copy its content to "C:\Program Files(x86)\Capcom\BIOHAZARD2".

31.- Right click on the shortcut and select "properties". In the "Destination" section add "-config" at the end and every time you want to open the configuration you must launch the "Launch Configuration" file.

Note: if you installed the texture pack of step 16 and experience problems with cinematics (audio out of sync, slow video) just replace the "pl0", "pl1" and "zmovie" folders by copying them from the file"re2_mp4_v1. 0.7z" from step 11. This will only replace the videos but the hd textures will still be installed.

Edit:

Solution 2: Download the following file "fix_movies_RE2.7z", unzip it and copy the folders named "Pl0", "Pl1" and "Zmovie" to the root of the game and overwrite. These video playback issues are common for w10 users.

I have recoded the cutscene files to fix the Out of Sync Audio issue.
and slow video that sometimes occurs mostly for Windows 10 users, and I have attached a downloadable file
named "fix_movies_RE2".
Use it only if you have these problems.
 
Thank you for the installation guide.
I want to use my ds4 with it but some actions are not the same as playstation version of the game. For example changing target should be L1 but it is square. Or reloading weapon is R1 + map.
Is it possible to map the actions to playstation version controller?

Hello, in step 28 I explain how to configure your controller, greetings.

I understand. To be honest, I've never used the aim selector, so I don't consider it essential to complete the game.
However, there is something you can do if it detects it with the square button, as you say.

You can emulate your controller as a keyboard with anti-microx.
It's free and intuitive. Once you download it, just assign the same key to the L1 button and it's working.
You can also save profiles so you don't have to reconfigure everything again.

Thanks for the advice.
Since the key configuration is made by classic rebirth, maybe they can make it. They did that and separated cancel and run button for re1 making it possible to map the controller to playstation layout. But I didn't find a way to request that for re2. Maybe there is a discord room but I need to find an invite link.

Of course, the actions are performed through programming; they made the 180-degree turn possible.
You have more contact options (social media). Good day.
