- Accelerator Cards
- Resident Evil supports the following 3D accelerator cards:
-
- Matrox Mystique Ö 4MB
- Diamond Monster 3DÖ
- Orchid Righteous 3D
- Creative 3D Blaster Ö
- Canopus Total 3D
- Intense 3D 100 by Intergraph
-
- Important Note:
- The 3D card must have a minimum of 4MB RAM on board.
-
- Many 3D accelerator cards share the same chipset and are therefore compatible, as a result itÆs
- highly possible that Resident Evil could work on other cards not stated above.
-
- If when using either a 3Dfx based card or the Matrox Mystique Ö card you discover Resident
- Evil doesnÆt function properly it may be due to the drivers currently installed on your machine.
- We have included the versions used during the development of Resident Evil in a directory on
- the game CD called æDriversÆ.
-
- The latest versions of the drivers for all the cards are available at the following WWW sitesà
-
- Matrox Mystique Ö 4MB
- The Matrox Mystique drivers on this CD were the latest available drivers at the time of the
- release of Resident Evil. They have been tested with Resident Evil and are known to work.
- However, more recent drivers may have become available since that time. The latest Matrox
- Mystique drivers are available at the Matrox web site at WWW.MATROX.COM.

- DirectX
- Resident Evil has been designed to run with DirectX3a and the drivers located on the disks have
- been tested with this version of DirectX. Resident Evil will run if you have DirectX 5 or later but
- you may find that you need to install newer versions of the 3D card drivers. Failing to do so
- could result in Resident Evil not recognising your 3D card.
-
- Important
- If you already have DirectX 5 or later installed on your machine we recommend that you
- don't install DirectX 3a. Resident Evil has been designed to run with Direct X3 but will
- also work without error using Direct X5. However, when using DirectX 5 should you find
- that Resident Evil doesn't correctly recognise your card then you must update the
- drivers for your 3D card.
-
- If you are using video card drivers that are not DirectX certified Resident Evil may
- prompt the user to overwrite the drivers. If this is done the game may experience a
- corrupted video display. This can be quickly remedied by restoring the original video
- drivers.
-
- This is most easily done by using the Add/Remove programs in the control panel. Simply
- select DirectX in Add/Remove programs and click on the Add/Remove button. This will
- bring the you to a screen that shows what drivers are certified and gives two button
- choices that will allow you to restore the original video and/or audio drivers.
-
-
- Card Setup
- ItÆs possible to force the Resident Evil to use a particular card, this maybe useful if the game fails
- to recognise your 3D card or you have two 3D cards installed and you wish to select which one
- to use. This is done by launching the game by using one of the following commandsà
-
- ResidentEvil.exe /monster launch Diamond Monster 3D TM
- ResidentEvil.exe /mystique launch Matrox Mystique 4MB TM
- ResidentEvil.exe /total launch Canopus TOTAL 3D
- ResidentEvil.exe /blaster launch Creative 3D Blaster TM
- ResidentEvil.exe /righteous launch Orchid Righteous
- ResidentEvil.exe /intense launch Intergraph Intense
- ResidentEvil.exe /? show help
-
- To do this follow these stepsà
-
- 1. Right click on the æStart ButtonÆ and select æExploreÆ.
- 2. Double left click on æProgramsÆ.
- 3. Double left click on æCapcomÆ.
- 4. Double left click on æResident EvilÆ.
- 5. Right click on Resident Evil and select æPropertiesÆ.
- 6. When the properties window appears, select the æShortcutÆ tab at the top.
- 7. Add one of the above commands to the æTargetÆ box (ensure you keep the whole directory
- path line in tact). If you accidentally erase the whole line then click æCancelÆ and repeat from
- step 5.
- 8. Click æApplyÆ and then æOKÆ.
-
- Please note the location of the Resident Evil file is only applicable if you have chosen to install
- the game in the default path offered. If you have selected to install the game elsewhere then you
- will need to adjust points 3 and 4 accordingly.
-
- Gamma Control
- Resident Evil doesn't have a screen adjustment facility. If you therefore need to adjust the
- brightness you should use the gamma control option within the card setup program.
-
- Please note
- ItÆs possible, however unlikely in most Windows games that APM (advanced power
- management) may become confused and think youÆre no longer using the your machine. The
- result is the monitor shutting down or other power saving features kicking in.
-
- Please quit as many other programs and functions as possible before you load the game.
-
- Keyboard Problems
- Some keyboards are unable to register multiple key inputs simultaneously so itÆs possible that
- some character actions in Resident Evil may seem difficult to perform. It is therefore
- recommended that a joypad is used.
