From the full decompilation of Resident Evil 4 (GameCube):- The whole game runs on one 16-bit RNG, seeded with the same constant every boot, repeating after 8064 rolls.- The debug build has cheat codes, including one named KAIOUKEN that runs the player update loop up to four times per frame.Speedrunners had reverse engineered most of the hidden difficulty system from memory dumps, but the rank modifier stayed unknown until now — it's visible in the source.
