Biohazard Outbreak English translation
バイオハザード アウトブレイク · Resident Evil Outbreak
An English patch for the Japanese release of Resident Evil Outbreak, made so English speakers can play the Japanese edition on the fan-run online servers.
Why it exists
Resident Evil Outbreak had an official English release, but the community that keeps its online mode alive through private servers relies on the Japanese edition. This patch translates that edition so English-speaking players can join in without learning the menus by heart.
What's in it
The project covers both Outbreak games; this entry is about the first one. The 2018 build reworked an earlier 2015 release, restored the online disc checks that were no longer a problem, and added a toggle for half-width English characters on the on-screen keyboard (press L2). Version 2.1, from December 2020, finally translated the map names, with help from Fothsid.
Playing it
Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese disc, following the instructions in the repository. The creators recommend checking that your disc image matches the verified dump to avoid checksum errors.
