Accelerator Cards
Resident Evil supports the following 3D accelerator cards:

Matrox Mystique TM 4MB
Diamond Monster 3D TM
Orchid Righteous 3D
Creative 3D Blaster TM
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 it's 
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 TM card you discover Resident Evil 
doesn't 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 'Drivers'.

The latest versions of the drivers for all the cards are available at the following WWW sites...

Matrox Mystique TM 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.

Orchid Righteous

There are two Orchid Righteous drivers on the Resident Evil CD, in the 'Drivers' directory:
r3dv1_2d.zip - Domestic, for use in the United States.
r3dv1_di.zip - International, for use everywhere else.

Card Setup
It's 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 commands...

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 /nocard1	launch Only Win95 (VideoMemory)
ResidentEvil.exe /nocard2	launch Only Win95 (SystemMemory)
ResidentEvil.exe /?		show help

The Resident Evil has two modes for machines without 3D accelerator cards, these are:

/nocard1		Uses Video Memory
/nocard2		Uses System Memory

The first option, '/nocard1' can get a faster game speed because it has access to hardware 
acceleration. However, if the screen breaks up or corrupts please try '/nocard2'.

To do this follow these steps...

1.  Right click on the 'Start Button' and select 'Explore'.
2.  Double left click on 'Programs'.
3.  Double left click on 'Capcom'.
4.  Double left click on 'Resident Evil'.
5.  Right click on Resident Evil and select 'Properties'.
6.  When the properties window appears, select the 'Shortcut' tab at the top.
7.  Add one of the above commands to the 'Target' box (ensure you keep the whole directory path 
line in tact). If you accidentally erase the whole line then click 'Cancel' and repeat from step 5.
8.  Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'.

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
It's possible, however unlikely in most Windows games that APM (advanced power management) 
may become confused and think you're 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.

Screen Shots
Pressing the 'Print Screen' key will save off a picture into the Resident Evil installed directory. 
Perfect for making Windows backdrop pictures!

Microsoft Theme
Look on the CD for a special Resident Evil Theme for use with Microsoft Plus! It's called 
RETheme.ZIP

Keyboard Problems
Some keyboards are unable to register multiple key inputs simultaneously so it's possible that 
some character actions in Resident Evil may seem difficult to perform. It is therefore 
recommended that a joypad is used.
