    Default 3 Different Links for the same game?

    For the Nintendo Gamecube Release of Resident Evil (2002) there are listed 2 downlods called "Resident Evil" and one Download "Resident Evil1"

    Why there are listed 3 different downloads for one Version of the same game at 3 times?

    I don't understand if there is a difference between this 3 Links?

    Maybe one is disc 1 only, and another is disc 2, or different regions (though the regions appear to usually be marked). Or maybe there is no difference and there are 3 so if one dies you can go to another?

    Although that third link appears to be a larger download (1.8GB while the others are 1.6GB), so maybe others have something cut. (Although if comments are to be believed, the first link works on Dolphin while the second doesn't, but that could be a config error on the second user's part )

    So yeah, best I can suggest is to just grab one and test it out (and post in the Nintendo section of EE if you need help getting it to run). If it doesn't work (even after any help), move on to the next (I saw this earlier, but honestly wasn't/am not sure myself. Decided to reply so you wouldn't think you're being ignored after you made a second thread )

    I wasn't sure either :/ Thanthias is pretty much right. 2 are 1.6GB and the other is 1.8GB.

    All 3 start with the same url.. http://jinx.emuparadise.org/4/GCN/...
    The 2 1.6 GB files ends with Resident_Evil_USA_NGC-NOMIS.rar and the other Resident_Evil_USA_NGC-SAVEPOiNT.rar. Maybe they're the same but the .rar is just named differently.
    The 1.8 GB file ends with Resident_Evil_1_USA_GC-RARE.rar... Well, it says rare so, maybe extra features ? lol.

    Looks like different groups were responsible for each release (judging by the rar titles), so that'd be the difference I suppose

    Maybe the 1.8GB one has a release group credit video added in or something. The only way to know would be to download them and compare them.
