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! │ │ │ │ - Beowulf │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ Razor 1911 Greetings │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ The Punisher, Vitas, Manhunter, Pitbull, Third Son, The Pep, TSR, │ │ Blue Adept, Bonez, BunteR, Gandalf, Hetero & Roy, Hooligan, Laric, │ │ Colossus, Maverick, MYM, Pharaoh, Render, Link, Schlack, R0adkill, │ │ ZEUS, Beowulf (c) GOD, Hoson, Mad Turnip, Jimmy Jamez, Eviltea and │ │ Maverick from SS! │ │ │ │ ... and special greetings to those who keep the spirit alive: │ │ │ │ PARADIGM - HYBRID - RiSC - DOD - PWA - LKCC - SAC - VEN - RiSE - SSC │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ 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! │ │ │ │ │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ │ │ The Gods at Razor 1911 Are: │ │ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ │ │ Aggro.
