Game Notes & Release Information

If you are interested in why we released this game, when PDM had
already "released" it, read the News and Announcements section below.

Essentially, the differences between Paradigm's release and ours is:

1. RAZOR's supports non-3D cards. Paradigm's doesn't.
2. Paradigm's 3DFX support was not cracked properly, and didn't work.
Of course, RAZOR's works flawlessly, first time.
3. RAZOR's version includes all the speech and SFX (which are
absolutely essential to the game), and still remains under the
75 disk limit. Paradigm's initial release was 118 disks
including an "optional" add-on for speech and still did not
inlcude all the SFX...you do the arithmetic.
4. While listening to "CLASS sucks..." being played throughout the
game instead of the voices is amusing, it destroys the plot of
the game. RAZOR's version includes all the speech, as we strive
to maintain the playability of our releases.

You be the judge, but there is simply no contest here.

For years a secluded mansion and its grounds have been the site of
top-secret biotechnic experiments.  The research staff has been funded
by a respected (if slightly unethical) corporation. The weekly
laboratory reports have been increasingly vague and now they have
stopped completely. Recent gory attacks near the mansion have lead to
rumors of unnatural canines on the prowl. Something has gone terribly
wrong. Two S.T.A.R.S. teams (Special Tactics and Rescue Squad) are
sent to investigate these strange and gruesome developments. Bravo
Team mobilizes first and disappears almost immediately. Alpha Team
follows, urgently driven towards the mansion. As either Chris Redfield
or Jill Valentine, two valuable parts of the Alpha team, you work your
way inside. Everything is quiet...too quiet.

Thats right folks, Resident Evil..the game that sold over 1.4 million
copies on the PSX is now on the PC.  Who else could bring you this
QUALITY release?  Why, no-one Batman...just RAZOR 1911!  Quit
fiddling with your joysticks and bust out the game-pads..Resident Evil
is here to stay!

Installation Guide

Total installed size of this release is 270M.

All of the SFX and speech have been left in as they are ESSENTIAL
to gameplay (there are simply no subtitles).

Q: What was ripped out and why?
A: Movies and background music were removed. Background music will
be available as an add-on pack for those who like that added
atmosphere.

To install the game, simply unzip all of the archives into a temporary
directory, then use WinRAR or the UNRAR.EXE we supply to extract the
archives to a game directory (there are long filenames, so be careful):

e.g. unrar x -v -y resevil.001 c:\resevil

After the game has been uncompressed, run SETUP.EXE in your Resident
Evil directory to select a video card and initialize your registry
settings. Please see the README.TXT file supplied for information
regarding video card selection.

Make a shortcut to the ResidentEvil.exe and you're ready to rock!

Check out KEYS.TXT for a list of the keyboard commands for the game.

NOTE: To use the 3D-accelerated versions of this game, make SURE you
have DirectX v3.0b or better and the latest version of your video
drivers installed, especially if you have a 3DFX card and/or
DirectX v5.0: my Monster 3D would display weird clips of pictures
until I installed the new drivers from Diamond.

Cracker's Notes

This game was nothing short of annoying to rip/crack. The game was
coded in such a way as to make re-direction to a hard-drive tricky,
and removal of movies a nightmare. The 3D acceleration for the game
is all built into the .EXE directly EXCEPT the 3DFX support. For
some reason, when you select a 3DFX card, the movie playing routines
are mapped into the .EXE at runtime via a support file called
BIOVFWUS.BIN. This was one of Paradigm's screwups: they simply didn't
crack this file, and therefore their release doesn't support 3DFX.
Their release also did not support non-accelerated video cards...

So, after fixing up the re-directions in the main executable and the
support .BIN file, removing the CD-Checks and blanking the .AVI's, the
game reached release quality, and hence, we decided to release a
tested, working, and most importantly playable version of the game.
Enjoy!

Razor 1911 News & Announcements

Sad sad sad, it's a shame that PDM made some boo-boo's with their
release of Resident Evil.  The main boo-boo being that voices are
required to know what the hell is going on in the game.  There is no
text dialogue anywhere in the game.  Well, if you do the math the
original release of Resident Evil from Paradigm is 73 disks, then you
get 45 more disks of NEEDED speech.  Without it, the game is unplayable
that makes a nice fat 118 disks?!!  Not to mention that the sound was
removed too?  Jesus guys, we love you and all..but get a clue.

What we here at the Razor family bring you, is a SOLID and within the
LIMIT release of Resident Evil.  Speech, sound fx, and WORKING 3DFX..
it's all there boys.  Read BEOWULF aka GOD's explanation on how and
why we did it.  This game is BONE-A-FIDE BADASS!  Also, make sure to
check out Keys.txt for an explanation on some of the keyboard commands
and stuff we discovered PLAY-TESTING Resident Evil.  Imagine that,
testing...anyway, enjoy yet another fantastic release from our family
to yours...ENJOY!
