Hi.

I still trying to get this game works without the CD, so i have uploaded it in a very minimal but functional demo, only 8Mb compressed with 7z:
https://www.mediafire.com/?b5mdxcj8mk1ocy5

If someone is willing to help me, i will update the whole problem very shortly:
Resident Evil 1 does not came out in spanish, so a mod that translated game strings was created, the problem is that the game main executable that came with the spanish mod seek for the movies into the CD-ROM drive, meaning that the game will not start unless the CD is in.

There's a fix in GameCopyWorld called "Resident Evil v1.0 [US] No-CD/Fixed EXE" uploaded by "entaneer & DD". This crack makes the game run entirely without the CD, however, it deactivated some strings translated by the mod, meaning this that the game runs parts in english and parts in spanish. It is called "Cracked-WVideos-no_spanish.exe".

There's other fixed-exe that does not run the movies so i am not interested in it, i only included it on the compressed demo in case it is necessary to compare something. It is called "Cracked_NVideos-no_spanish.exe".

Both fixes can be found in GameCopyWorld, here is the game tag:
http://m0004.gamecopyworld.com/games...ent_evil.shtml

So, what i want is to make the "Original_SPA.exe" (included in the compressed Demo) run the WHOLE game without the CD, including movies, and must be that .exe because that one seek for all the translated strings.

NOTE: In the compressed demo i uploaded there is a folder called "fixes", there you will found 3 files.
1. A reg key, it is important because the game seeks the installed patch to locate the files. If that can be eliminated and make the .exe seek for the files in the inmediate next folder instead, much better!
2. RE1 Config.exe changes the video card selected in the registry, in case the one in the included reg file is not compatible with your machine.
3. ddraw.dll is included because the game may not work properly in Win Vista/7. If that happens, the first solution is to set compatibility with Win95, and to be sure place the "ddraw.dll" with the game executable.
