In their own words
BioRand
BioRand is a free Windows randomizer for PC releases of Resident Evil. It can change weapons, ammunition, items, enemies, music, characters, enemy positions, keys, doors, starting inventory, cutscenes, difficulty, and item ratios. Door randomization rebuilds room connections into an alternate route, while key items are placed so they can be reached before the doors or objects requiring them. Options include item ratios, enemy difficulty, segment size, supported characters, and voice changes. A custom item pool can replace every pickup with a random item type and quantity; otherwise, base-game items are shuffled. Music is shuffled by genre, with custom WAV or OGG tracks supported in designated folders. Seeds can be shared as QR codes or alphanumeric codes, and a text spoiler log lists key locations and weapons. Listed games include Resident Evil, Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 4 (2023), and Resident Evil Requiem (2026).
DK64 Randomizer
DK64 Randomizer is a free, open-source tool for changing Donkey Kong 64. It can randomize items, loading zones and locations, alter game length and difficulty, set custom win conditions, and provide a plandomizer and hint system. Built-in logic is intended to keep generated seeds beatable and every item reachable. The web generator can create a new seed, use a patch file, or regenerate a past seed. Options include spoiler logs, password locks, advanced ROM headers and delayed spoiler-log release. Compatibility is limited to the US NTSC-U release; NTSC-J and PAL releases are incompatible, and the project requires a legally obtained US ROM. Listed play options include most Nintendo 64 flashcarts, Wii U Virtual Console injects and various emulators. Local use requires Python 3.11 or newer, while console use needs a flash cart or a homebrewed Wii U for Virtual Console. A Discord server provides community support.
