Seeking RE4 dev builds (trade?)

[emoose]

Hi, I've been working on re4_tweaks over the past year or so as part of the small community that's still helping to try and make the best version of RE4 possible, sadly most people are moving onto modding the newer games by now, but I still enjoy working with the original RE4 engine 😄

We recently came across the GC debug build which came in extremely useful for making code improvements, managed to name ~80% of the functions in the PC EXE so far thanks to it, which allowed us to add things like mouse-turning, higher-res movies, & even improve a couple of things running at 60FPS (also managed to unlock & fix up the debug menu/level select too 😸)

Sadly the GC build is also lacking a lot of things, such as code for things added in later ports (Separate Ways), which limits how much we can do there, and also doesn't seem to contain any symbols for structures at all, requiring a lot of work to manually reverse them out...

I've heard there may be more PS2/Wii builds going around that also include debug symbols too (even a build with an unstripped ELF, if that has structs included that would be my holy grail...)
These ports all mostly build off each other, so any builds with symbols included would almost definitely be able to help us name/reverse more things in the PC build.

(for example there's a lot we don't know about the games animation/"motion" system, seems to heavily make use of structs that we don't really know anything about yet, if we knew more we might be able to get somewhere with fixing the games odd 30FPS-locked anims...)

Not sure how widely shared those builds actually are though... if you happen to possess one or know the owner of one, please get in touch with me! In exchange I may be able to trade for some other unreleased RE PC content (and maybe other interesting things too), and can maybe get a credit added to RE4HD for you too if wanted 👍
