About this mod

Allows you to save without needing ink ribbons.

One reason I preferred Silent Hill at the time of the game was precisely because I hated the limited savings. The boy grew up, and now I'm addicted to reverse engineering and have decided to use my skills to fix the game for Capcom.


How to install

1. Open the zip file and copy the "bhe.exe" inside it
2. Open your Steam library
3. Click with the mouse right button on Resident Evil biohazard HD REMASTER on the left side bar
4. Click in Manage>Browse local files. This will open the directory of the game on your file explorer
5. Rename the "bhe.exe" located in that folder. This will be your backup in case the mod doesn't work
6. Paste the "bhe.exe" file, from the zip file you downloaded, in the game folder, where the old "bhe.exe" was
7. The next time you open the game you shouldn't need ink ribbons anymore

I wish I could provide a less invasive installation, but unfortunately, a simple patcher is out of the question due to the Steam DRM wrapper.



Disclamer

For me Windows Defender complains about it being malware so here is the Virus Total analysis. And here is the explanation of what exactly the mod does:

First I used Steamless to crack Steam DRM wrapper and then I changed the bytes at the offset 0x9081 from 0x741C to 0x9090. 0x90 is the hexadecimal representation of the instruction `NOP`, which says to the processor to just ignore this instruction and go to the next one.

Resident evil has a data structure (maybe a hashmap) with all possible interactions with objects. At an index `A` it says the user don't have Ink Ribbons to save and at another index `B` it asks if the user wants to spend one ribbon. The change I mentioned always make the game use index `B` whenever you interact with a typewriter.
