Resident Evil 1 (SLUS 00747) Redump mismatch

[Arthandas]

Despite having the exact same size (728602560 bytes) it has different hashes. Seems Track 1 is exactly 2 sec longer than it should, so it's probably the same "issue" as in RE2 in the ReadMe.

The game works fine on an emulator, but the problem is the mismatch makes me unable to use any romhacks for this edition. Is it possible to manually edit the bin to match the Redump hashes?

At this point, why not buy the PC version from GOG?
This is another duplicate of #3. Unless you'd like to manually find the bytes, there's not much you can do. Like I said in your previous issue, #15, Audio tracks will never match with Redump, due to ATRAC3's lossy nature. ROM hacks only modify the Data track. Until @has207 fixes the issue, your options either are sourcing "clean" files from an original disc, or downloading them online.

Oh yeah, I forgot I had the same issue with SotN. Seems the romhack works fine if you just disable checksum validation. If audio tracks can never match, shouldn't at least Track 1 have a proper hash?

As for the GOG version, I already have it and it's trash :D It's probably one of the worst ways to currently experience the game.
If you want a definitive experience you need to emulate the Dual Shock ver (preferably in Duckstation) and apply the True Director's Cut romhack.
