Now this is where the wierd bit comes in. When asked to select a GFX card i chose the default creative card although i have a Geforce 6200.Īfter its been installed extract the REPATCH.exe into the game directory and make a shortcut to that exe since you will be starting up the game from it every time you want to play. Then i installed resident evil from the CD on the HOST computer, NOT THE VIRTUAL ONE!! When you install it and it seems that the instalation is hanging just press space bar, there is a dialog box in the background that gives some error, this is normal dont worry about it. I installed Microsoft Virtual PC and set up windows 98 on it. This is what i did and it works great, some of the animations in the cut scenes are a bit too fast but as for the game play its perfect. You will also need Microsoft Virtual PC, alhtough you wont be playing Resident evil in it.

You need the REPATCH.zip also known as the voodoo2 patch. I've been trieng to get Resident Evil to work properly for some time now and finaly found a way (rather odd but it works for some weird reason) to play it withought it looking like its beeing fast forwarded. I was able to launch the game, be in the mansion and access menus and etc. I guess thoses who can install it but isn't able to play with are getting this kind of problem.ġ- Insert the Cd (I've the original, so I didn't patch anything)Ģ- Put the file 'setup.exe' in the win95 compatibility mode from the compatibility tab from the properties popup menuĤ- Close the error message (you will get 2 task with the same icon, one for the setup, the other for the error message)ĥ- Choose your video card (Mine was the Creative Blaster something)Ħ- After you'll be prompt to install the gameħ- Once install goto the compatibility tab (from the properties popup) for the file 'residentevil.exe' or 'launch.exe' (i don't remember which one) and then use the link at the bottom of the page to call the help center which contain the compatibility wizard linkĨ- Ask for a win95 game, check play in 640*480, check disable themes and everything was working for me. My video card is a radeon 8500 with catalyst 5.5įor some cards it may not work because when installing you must specifying the video card you want to use thus the game only support a few one.
