Developement history:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
April 4th-18th of 2005.
First draft, an in-house developement prototype. Never released
to public. This was 2 weeks of rigorous byte patching, saving and
loading, and doing binary compares with the FC.EXE-command of the
DOS-prompt. I do wonder how many people even know what FC.EXE does?
April 19th of 2005.
Public release 1.0 finalized. I did the final formatting to make it
look pretty (yeah, right) and finalized the legal text. This is the
current latest version.
Notice, for simplicity's sake, updates, if I release any, will
be posted to WWW.GAMEFAQS.COM only.

1. Introduction
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Hi, and welcome to my 1st ever gameguide, and quite possibly the
only 1 I'll ever write (but who knows). The purpose of this
document is to teach people how to cheat in Resident Evil 3 by
Capcom, by showing them how to patch savegames with a tool that
is commonly known as the hex editor. Notice, that the information
in this guide will only apply to the PC CD-ROM version (running
under MS Windows) of the Resident Evil 3 game. While it might be
possible to hack the savegames of other versions (PSX, Dreamcast,
GameCube) as well, it would require you to somehow be able to read
the contents of your console's memorycard to your PC's harddrive,
something most of us can't do because it requires some special
save game transferring hardware which many of us are not in
possession of, so those versions are beyond the scope of this guide.
Everything in this guide was found, tested and verified with the
english language version of Resident Evil 3, distributed in Europe
by Eidos Interactive (I live in Finland where I purchased my copy).
I have no reason to believe that there are any differences in the
save game format between different language versions. But if there
are, let me know, altough I doubt it'll do any good, I have no way
of accessing any other versions of RE3 for PC.
Why write a guide like this?:
Well, Resident Evil 3 for PC has been out since late 2000 and it's
savegames are pretty easy to dig into, so I was kinda surprised to
see that no one has written a decent hex editing guide for it. I've
only seen some simple "how to get all weapons" type of guides
floating around the Internet, and one good savegame editor, but
real "do it yourself" types don't use ready-made editors, unless
they offer some real advantages over the process of editing by hand
with a hex editor, like checksum fixing. So that's one reason why
I wrote this. Also, ever since I discovered Gamefaqs in the year
2000, I've wanted to contribute them something, just as a reward
for being nothing short of the greatest in their field. As for this
guide, will it turn out to be a horrible piece of wannabe work, or
a great and appreciated masterpiece on at least some level, only
time will tell, but if you read these words now, then that means
something went right and Gamefaqs accepted my donation.
2. Tools of the trade:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Any hex editor that can do jumping to a specific address, overwrite
bytes via keyboard input... basic stuff like that, is more than
capable of handling the edits shown in this document. Hell, even the
DEBUG.EXE-command of the DOS-prompt will do if you have the mental
insanity and, more importantly, the skills to use it. The choice is
yours my friend, but I personally highly recommend FRHed, the FRee
Hex EDitor by Raihan Kibria. It's an open source product (meaning
free to all to both use and modify, under the GNU General Public
License of course) and it has everything needed in binary file
editing. FRHed can be found from: http://www.kibria.de. The latest
version of FRHed at the time of this writing is 1.1.0.
As a side note, this guide assumes that you already have a working
knowledge of the hexadecimal system and how to use hex editors. I
don't feel like explaining the base-16 vs. base-10 numbering system
differences simply because I royally suck at explaining all this
math stuff to people. There are many good hex editing for beginners-
type of guides floating around the I-net, use them for your
advantage if you're a total beginner. In fact, if you go with FRHed,
check it's helpfile. Hidden somewhere inside it is a pretty good
explanation about bits and bytes. All I can say about hex editing is
that using a modern hex editor is not that different from using a
text editor. It's just that you'll be entering numeric values into
the file instead of text most of the time. And you'll be using the
overwrite mode more than the insert mode with hex editors, since
most binary data files don't like it when you alter their size,
executables and game saves being very good examples. And always
remember the golden rule of hex editing: backup your files or face
the consequenses of editing errors. If you wreck something
precious to you, don't blame me. I never forced you into this.
3. What am I supposed to edit?
The structure of BU00.SAV
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Resident Evil 3 stores it's savegames into a file called BU00.SAV.
This file can be found from the folder where Resident Evil 3 was
installed to (see the save game directory path in the game's autorun
menu if you're unsure). Since ALL savegames are stored into this one
file, I'll need to explain how to separate the different savegames
from each other in order to prevent you from editing the wrong save.
The savegame slots are separated as follows:
Address in
hexadecimal Description
0000-1FFF: Table of contents (or something). No savedata here.
2000-3FFF: Slot 1. Savedata of the 1st slot will be stored here.
4000-5FFF: Slot 2. Savedata of the 2nd slot will be stored here.
6000-7FFF: Slot 3. Savedata of the 3rd slot will be stored here.
8000-9FFF: Slot 4. Savedata of the 4th slot will be stored here.
A000-BFFF: Slot 5. Savedata of the 5th slot will be stored here.
C000-DFFF: Slot 6. Savedata of the 6th slot will be stored here.
E000-FFFF: Slot 7. Savedata of the 7th slot will be stored here.
10000-11FFF: Slot 8. Savedata of the 8th slot will be stored here.
12000-13FFF: Slot 9. Savedata of the 9th slot will be stored here.
14000-15FFF: Slot 10. Savedata of the 10th slot will be stored here.
16000-17FFF: Slot 11. Savedata of the 11th slot will be stored here.
18000-19FFF: Slot 12. Savedata of the 12th slot will be stored here.
1A000-1BFFF: Slot 13. Savedata of the 13th slot will be stored here.
1C000-1DFFF: Slot 14. Savedata of the 14th slot will be stored here.
1E000-1FFFF: Slot 15. Savedata of the 15th slot will be stored here.
Address 1FFFF is also the end of the file, so there are 15 savegame-
slots in total. This guide assumes that you mostly edit the first
savegameslot (hex address 2000-3FFF), so henceforth all given
addresses will point to the data in slot 1 by default. However, if
you must edit data in other slots, simply replace the first "2" from
the address with the beginning value of the other slot. An example:
If you wish to find Jill's 1st inventory slot in saveslot 6, that's
C40C instead of 240C. If you wish to edit Jill's health in saveslot
12, that's 18214 instead of 2214.
A question. What is the file called BU10.SAV?
The answer. I dont know. It appears to be similar in structure with
the BU00.SAV file, but as far as I can tell, it's never actually
used to hold saves. Renaming it to BU00.SAV seems to be the only way
to make it usable.

inside)
86-FF = Don't bother trying these values. Using them only results
to a crash to the Windows desktop with an error message
when you access the inventory.
A question. What are the unknown items?
The answer. The unknown items are most likely key puzzle items in
puzzles that got axed from the final game. These items have no
names nor descriptions, there's just the word BOTU where the name
/description should be. These discarded items also cannot be used
anywhere, they're just there to be found by some hackers :). Well,
maybe not, but sometimes gamemakers simply forget to remove
rejected stuff like this and leave it littering the game's database.
5. Item attributes
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
These values enable/disable the remaining ammo/uses display, or,
is the weapon/item infinite or not. All inventory slots each occupy
4 bytes of space. The third byte always indicates the item's
attribute.
00 = Use this for (puzzle) items that don't have the
ammo display.
01 = Ammo remaining display (Green)
02 = % (percentage) of ammo remaining display (Green)
03 = Infinite ammo (Green)
05 = Ammo remaining display (Red)
06 = % of ammo remaining display (Red)
07 = Infinite ammo (Red)
0D = Ammo remaining display (Blue)
0E = % of ammo remaining display (Blue)
0F = Infinite ammo (Blue)
6. The structure of a single savegame:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
When entering 16/32-bit values, remember that the PC-version
of RE3 uses Little Endian (least signifigant byte first) byte
ordering. And remember, all addresses point to data in slot 1.
by default.
6.01 Time
--------
0x2200 = Time elapsed since the beginning of the game. I haven't
figured out how the time is calculated, but this definately
works: set the bytes here to 00 00 00 00 to reset the clock
to zero.
6.02 Difficulty
--------------
0x2208 = Switch between difficulties
01 = Easy mode
00 = Hard mode
This 1 is nice if you want to start the game with the Easy mode
inventory and have the sidepack enabled from the beginning, and
still be able to get the item Nemesis drops when you kill him
(or it, or maybe even her. Nah, not with that voice).
6.03 XY-coordinates
------------------
0x220E = Character X-coordinates, range 0000-FFFF
0x2212 = Character Y-coordinates, range 0000-FFFF
These 16-bit values represent Jill's/Carlos' location in the room
they are in. They're mostly useful if you use the hacks further down
that allow you to select the place where the loaded game begins.
6.04 Health
----------
0x2214 = Jill's/Carlos' health, 16-bit, range 0000-FF7F
Jill's normal max. health is 200 (hex C800), but it can be set as
high as 32767 (hex FF7F), which is enough to make Jill almost
invulnerable (you can even survive a dynamite/gas barrel explosion).
Beware, values higher than 32767 (hex 0080 and beyond) are treated
as signed values (negative, below 0). If Jill's health is a
negative, below zero value, Jill will be considered dead, and
altough you can move around, you cannot manipulate your environment,
and thus cannot proceed in the game until you change the value here
to something acceptable.
6.05 Epilogues
-------------
0x2216 = Epilogues unlocked so far. Set to 08 to unlock all,
but you are still required to finish the game once.
6.06 Saves
---------
0x2218 = Number of times you have saved, range 00-FF (0-255)
6.07 Savegame names
------------------
0x221B = Name of savegame (ie. Warehouse, Alley, Resting room, etc.)
I never bothered to figure out what value shows what name, since
manipulating this doesn't actually do anything useful and I also
wanted to keep the size of this guide within acceptable limits, but
do experiment with this. This is an 8-bit (range 00-FF) value.
6.08 Play area
-------------
0x224E = The area you currently play.
00 = Uptown (including the RPD-building)
01 = Downtown
02 = Clock tower/park before the hospital explosion
03 = Clock tower/park after the hospital explosion
04 = Dead factory
05 = Shows first the Mercenaries-minigame ending, then the
ending video of the main game (the one without Barry
Burton, assuming 0x2250 has been set to 00. If not,
then it only crashes).
06 = Downtown again. I have no idea what's different here.
This may be after the scene where Jill falls trough
the parking lot floor.
6.09 Room/event
--------------
0x2250 = The room/event being loaded.
This one determines the actual room/event that is loaded. Using this
together with address 0x224E, and also with the XY-coordinates
(0x220E and 0x2212) allows you to basically place Jill into any
room/scene in the game you would like to go to. However, due to the
sheer number of rooms and events in this game, I'm not going to list
the room/event values, I will only include an example of how to jump
to specific places/scenes in the game.
The example: Visit the clothes boutique:
Once you have created a savegame, set the XY-coordinates (addresses
0x220E & 0x2212) to:
X: DBBB
Y: 29CD
Then set the value at address 0x224E to 00 (if it already isn't) and
then, at this address, 0x2250, give the byte a value of 0F. Once you
load the savegame with this modification done to it, you land
smack-dab right in the middle of the clothes boutique.
What values are accepted at 0x2250, and what they do, depends mostly
on the value at address 0x224E. Values 00-20 at 0x2250 generally
mostly work, but you should still prepare to expect some whacky
results, like game crashes or Jill being able to walk trough walls,
if you choose to mess with addresses 0x224E and 0x2250.
6.10 Player character
--------------------
0x225E = The character you play as (Jill, Carlos, Nicholai...)
00 = Jill normal clothes
01 = Jill normal clothes + sidepack
02 = Jill in biker leathers
03 = Jill S.T.A.R.S uniform
04 = Jill in disco inferno
05 = Jill miniskirt cop
06 = Jill as Regina from Dino Crisis
07 = Jill normal clothes
08 = Carlos
09 = Mikhail
0A = Nicholai
0B = Brad Vickers
0C = Dario
0F = Tofu
Notice that when you play as Carlos, you use his inventory.
Others use Jill's inventory. The address 28D4 is propably
more reliable in setting Jill's outfit, since the value
at 28D4 appears to sometimes override values 00-06 here.
If you're wondering about Tofu, yes it is THE Tofu from
that Resident Evil 2 minigame, only this time, hacking is
the only way to make it playable.
6.11 Maps
--------
0x23FF = FF Have all
0x2403 = FF maps
6.12 Files
---------
0x2404 = FF Files (diaries, notes, etc.) you have
0x2405 = FF collected so far. Fill offsets 0x2404 - 0x2409
0x2406 = FF with hex byte FF to unlock all.
0x2407 = FF
0x2408 = FF I've yet to figure out is it possible
0x2409 = FF to make Jill's diary appear as well.
All inventory slots occupy 4 bytes each. This is the same with both
Jill and Carlos and also applies to the slots in the item box. A
string of 4 zero bytes (00 00 00 00) would mean and empty slot.
See the hex dump below to get a good understanding of what the
memory area for the inventory looks like.
Legend:
?? = Item Id value, 00-85 (See section 4. Item Id-values)
## = Remaining ammo/uses for the item, 00-FF
!! = Item attribute (See section 5. Item attributes)
The 4th byte should always be 00.
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F ASCII field
2400h¦ 00 00 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF ?? ## !! 00 ¦ ¤a+
2410h¦ 0B FF 07 00 83 01 00 00 84 01 00 00 2A 03 01 00 ¦ é· â ä *
2420h¦ 73 01 00 00 81 FA 0F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ¦ s ü·¤
2430h¦ 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ¦
As you can see on line 2400h, address 0x240C is the beginning of
Jill's inventory. If you look at the beginning of line 2410h, you
see the hex string 0B FF 07 00. That means Jill has the infinite
ammo gatling gun in slot 2 of her inventory.
6.14 Jill's itembox
------------------
0x2434 = Top end of Jill's item box inventory
The next slot is at 0x2438, the one after that is at 0x243C,
then 0x2440, and so on, all the way to 0x2530.
0x2530 = Bottom end of Jill's item box inventory
6.15 Jill's weapon
-----------------
0x2535 = The weapon Jill has equipped
See section 5. Item Id values to select a weapon
6.16 Jill's sidepack
-------------------
0x2536 = Have Jill's sidepack enabled, 0A
Have Jill's sidepack disabled, 08
6.17 Carlos' inventory
---------------------
0x254C = Carlos inventory slot 1
0x2550 = Carlos inventory slot 2
0x2554 = Carlos inventory slot 3
0x2558 = Carlos inventory slot 4
0x255c = Carlos inventory slot 5
0x2560 = Carlos inventory slot 6
0x2564 = Carlos inventory slot 7
0x2568 = Carlos inventory slot 8
0x256C = Carlos inventory slot 9 (must enable sidepack)
0x2570 = Carlos inventory slot 10 (must enable sidepack)
6.18 Carlos' itembox
-------------------
0x2574 = Top end of Carlos' item box inventory
The next slot is at 0x2578, the one after that is at 0x257C,
then 0x2580, and so on, all the way to 0x2670.
0x2670 = Bottom end of Carlos' item box inventory
6.19 Carlos' weapon
------------------
0x2675 = The weapon Carlos has equipped
6.20 Carlos' sidepack
--------------------
0x2676 = Have Carlos' sidepack enabled, 0A
Have Carlos' sidepack disabled, 08
6.21 Jill's outfits
------------------
0x28D4 = Jill's outfits
00 = Normal clothes
01 = Biker leathers
02 = S.T.A.R.S uniform
03 = Disco inferno (ungh, disgusting)
04 = Miniskirt cop
05 = Jill as Regina from Dino Crisis
06 = Blue miniskirt with black top and boots
07 = Office worker (or something)
You should select Jill's outfit here instead of address 0x225E.
The value here might override Jill's appearance at address
0x225E.

The following information was not found by me and I claim no rights
or credit for it. I never even thought it would be possible to cheat
RE3 this way, but I decided to include this information to this
guide because it fits in superbly. I saw this at
http://www.cheatchannel.com and it was submitted there by Ivan
Solihin, so kudos to them. The text is copied verbatim from
Cheat Channel, so possible spelling/grammatical errors/typos here
are not my fault. And also, just to be sure, the information here
has nothing to do with cracking copy protections. This info is for
cheating purposes only.
---Beginning of borrowed stuff----
Cheat mercenary mode:
---------------------
Edit the file "RE3_MERCE.exe", go to address 12A0E4 for Carlos's
items, 12A100 for Nikolai's items and 12A11C for Mikael's items.
Change it with weapon or item which you want.
Cheat Resident Evil 3:
----------------------
Actually you can also cheat the items at the beginning of the
game. You must edit the file "ResidentEvil3.exe" and go to
address 12A08C for hard mode Jill's items, 12A0A0 for hard
mode Carlos's items, 12A0B4 for easy mode Jill's items, and
12A0CC for easy mode Carlos's items.

Well, that was it, people. I hope this gives you a whole new
perspective on playing Resident Evil 3 on PC. All that is left now
is to credit certain individuals. A few people contributed to the
birth of this document you see, but they all did it without knowing
it, so I'll mention their names here, so that they would know they
made a difference in a place they probably quite weren't expecting
to make a difference, should they ever come across this humble guide
of mine.

the structure of RE3 savegames. Danke schön.
