The Apple of Eden has published the latest version of his Resident Evil Classic REbirth patch. The definitive way to play the good old Resident Evil PC version.
Features:
- Removes the need for Win95/98 compatibility mode to even boot, making the game compatible with Win7 and later. This collaterally fixes CPU0 100% spikes.
- Fixes frame rate for good. You will get 30 fps in most 3D sections while 60 fps in the rest, like it’s intended to.
- Effectively makes the game installation-portable (i.e. no need to install it) due to the removal of Registry operations (replaced with an INI configuration file).
- Removes legacy joypad support and replaces it with XInput, DirectInput, and RawInput. This means that you can use an XBox 360/ONE pad and take advantage of all common buttons, including shoulder triggers, or literally any other controller.
- Allows to boot the game without the need for a physical CD-ROM drive.
- Allows the game to load videos from the installed directory, instead of always checking for data on CD-ROM.
- Adds new windowed resolutions. New resolutions are 320×240 and multiples, up to 2160×1440 (fullscreen if any resolution is below that). You can cycle through them in game by pressing F8.
- Fixes in-game timer when entering the Status screen.
- Replaces the Windows MultiMedia video player (winmm.dll, module MCI) with a new one based on ffmpeg and fanplayer. This introduces a number of improvements, like filtered output, better internal control of what happens during playback, and the ability to play high quality mp4 files natively (supported codecs: h264 for video and AAC for audio).
