Required:
1. [DVD-ROM] BIOHAZARD2 PC (SOURCENEXT, 2006) for Windows XP/2000
2. PC the above software can be run on (I used Windows10 64bit PC)
Installation:
Please note that I assume no responsibility if a problem occurs.
1. Full install BIOHAZARD2 from DVD-ROM.
2. Download "komizo_bio2_202.zip" and unpack.
3. Copy over "BIOHAZARD 2 PC" folder in "komizo_bio2_201.zip" to your installation folder. ("...\CAPCOM\BIOHAZARD 2 PC")
4. Run "toos_ver2_0_0.exe" or "toos(HARD)_ver2_0_0.exe" in your installation folder.
5. Load savedata "The Origin of Species" and enjoy playing!
6. If you need an English translation, plesese install "Resident Evil 2 Classic REbirth" patch of "The Apple of Eden", and start the game from "[Resident Evil 2 Overhaul Mod] - The Origin of Species".
Cautions:
- You need to re-install if you want to play the original game again.
- Please confirm the game is started with "toos_ver2_0_0.exe", or many errors will occur.
- If you start the game without the savedata, the first door won't open.
- [new!] Don't save/load when you're playing as Sherry with cheats, or Claire's menu screen will be broken.

Love this!!!
**** yeah! very very nice mod)
this is exactly what i wanted!
This mod is awesome, i have a problem, what is the passcode for panel room, is very hard.
I was stopped where the passcode of the panel room is then，kinds of tryings for nothing，asking for help now
Wow，done with a big lucky，I work passcode out！
10/10 amazing mod, tho I had to cheat with the puzzle and roomskip past it with debug menu, im not good at puzzles.
I can't run. It seems that I didn't insert the CD. RE2 is too inconvenient to run.
Thank you for playing my RE2 MOD.
About passcode. I'm sorry that it may be hard to make understood with my explanation in English. I need someone who speaks English well to help me. Please, input the passcode "1965" with the number key below the pictures. One digit at a time in chronological order. ("9" means "6" with the number key under the picture with blood)
Please check the image below.

10/10 amazing mod thank you komizo
Amazing mod! Just a question, I think my game has glitched. When you jump off the cable car to the factory, you have put a locker there that contains a cable. However the locker does not open for me, not matter what I try. Can you help me with this? Thank you.
I couldn't confirm the bug, though I tried again and again. The Item ID may be something wrong. I'll try to fix it.
First of all, to say that it is one of the best mods I have played as a resident evil, thanks for your great effort.
I have answered you here because I have EXACTLY the same error of the other boy who has commented and after watching videos of people passing me the mod, I discovered that it was a bug. I will try to update the game with the latest version to see if it is fixed.
Cheer up and move on with the mod, it's fantastic.
A hug ^^
I have completed the Claire chapter. I can use it for an archive. But there are other things in the middle. I can only archive it once and continue to play. MOD is very good.
Thank you for playing my MOD. I watched your Youtube. You are a skilled RE player. I was very very surprised you had also completed "Zombie Crisis HARD"! Everyone hates the game. I think it's not bad...
I think the difficulty is pretty good, and it's not very difficult. The game is designed very well, and the props are going to run back and forth.
So I played this mod twice so far, love it, but one thing I was wondering, how do I get Wesker to appear? I was told someone else played it and he showed up in the lab, he has never shown up for me.
Hi, Wesker. I'm happy that you enjoyed my Running Mr.X. Some cutscenes are so funny. You'll meet Wesker after you defeat every Mr.X.
How do I use debug menu ?
No debug menu in my MOD.
i cant get the first door to work. I have installed it exactly as instructed copying it into the original folder. when i select "load game" there is no "origin of species" option, just "leon max" and "claire max".
what am I doing wrong???
If you start the game without the savedata, the first door won't open. I guess your savedata folder is moved. Please find your savedata folder and copy the files in "\BIOHAZARD 2 PC\savedata" there.

In Origin of Species, the latest version, Claire's scenario, how are you supposed to get into the Culture Experiment Room when you need two finger prints, are you supposed to play Leon's scenario before playing Claire's like in the normal scenarios? I couldn't get into the room to get the weapon box key, which lets you get the power room key. Please, I am so confused, this has softlocked the game for me it seems. This mod is absolutely amazing and I can not thank you enough for all the work you put into it.
The finger prints of Claire and Sherry are needed. At first you need to help Sherry.

I am trying to get through the game without using it if I can.
I am sorry for the late reply. The finger prints of Claire and Sherry are needed. At first you need to help Sherry.
I'm having an issue where I'm having a game crash with Leon when I have the fuse case and go into the room it's used on.
Did you use version 2.0.1? I remember I fixed the bug.

and yeah i was playing leons scenario. I haven't tried Claires yet. Not sure if there is the same problem?
I couldn't confirm the bug. Did you use version 2.0.1? If you use Gemini's patch, please stop it temporarily.
The game is crashing in the "East Office" Leon scenario
Hi Komizo! Im having a problem. After factory (in Leons campaing 1.7) when im going down to the labs, i get crash to desktop after the cutscene of train going down, just before ada is about to get hit from birkins arm. Is there a way to fix this? Im using gemini patch.
I'm sorry. I couldn't confirm the bug. Did you use version 2.0.1? If you use Gemini's patch, please stop it temporarily.
what exactly is the gemini patch ? my game crashes to when i going down to the lab

To fix the problem in the factory that crashes the game when you go down; before entering the train-like wagon, first, you must activate the panel that is just outside the train-like wagon (otherwise the game will always crash). (Don't go into the train-like wagon first).

Are there any other ink ribbons aside from the ones you get at the beginning? I traversed a good chunk of the RPD and found literally none. Ended up dying to Birkin. Good mod. But I think the ability to save a little more frequently would've been a good thing.
You get more Ink Ribbons from Mr. X corpse after you knockout him.
Is there any way to enable infinite ammo in Claire Scenario?
