Resident Evil Zero, known in Japan as Biohazard 0, is the last of the main titles to use the original Resident Evil game system prior to the changes ushered in Resident Evil 4. The game's storyline serves as a prequel to Resident Evil, covering Rebecca Chambers ordeal a day prior. A near straight port was released for the Wii in 2009 under the title Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero.

r6535	Windows 7	Intel Pentium @ 3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 440	Runs OK, with some slowdowns.	Brunn0121

r6535	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-760	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470	Perfect
r6535	Windows 7	AMD Phenom II 955 X4 @ 3.2 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 4890	Perfect
r6666	Windows 7	AMD Phenom X4 9550 @ 2.1 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 8500	Starts, Intense lag (typically 40% speed or less).
r7540	Windows 7	Intel Core I7-3612QM @ 2.1 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M	Perfect	Squall
3.0	Windows 7	Intel Core i7 @ 3.6 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5870	Almost Perfect, some BGMs will cut out, using HLE audio with XAudio2.	Duriancake
3.0	Windows 7	Intel Core i7-3612QM 2.1 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M	Perfect if checked "Skip EFB access from CPU"	Squall
3.0-367	Windows 7	Intel Core i3 @ 3.1 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti	Works great after setting the frame limit to Audio instead of Auto.	Axlyted
3.0-750	Windows 7	Intel Core i3 @ 3.2 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5570	Slow. Average of 15-20FPS, with some major drops in certain areas.	JuniorF30
3.0-765	Windows 7	Intel Core i7-3612QM @ 2.1 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M	Good but drops down to 18FPS after state load. Doesn't clear code.	Squall
3.0-801	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670	Perfect as long as you don't load state, major slow down if you do use it.
3.5-368	Windows 7	AMD A6-3400M @ 2.4 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6650M	I had one random fifo error that caused the game to not continue, but after a reboot that did not happen again. I played through the entire game with no real issues. Full speed all the way through with VBeam enabled.	Starscream
3.5-597	Windows 8	Intel Core 2 Duo E8300 @ 2.8 GHz	ATI Radeon HD 5770	Perfect with xaudio2 and vbeam emulation enabled	fly16
3.5-1379	Windows 7	AMD Phenom II 955 X4 @ 3.2 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT	With Vbeam off speed is between 80% and 90%. Enabling Vbeam speed is at 100% but the game crashes. Enable the DSP in a dedicated thread and enable Vbeam, the game works perfectly and without errors.	RaaS
3.5-2319	Windows 7	Intel Core i3-2330M @ 2.2 GHz	Intel HD Graphics 3000	Playable, 20~30FPS. Most of the game runs at full speed, it slows down when too many actors are on the screen. The internal resolution doesn't really matter here (1x~3x were tested).	Oddlyoko2K
4.0	Windows 7	Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GT 210	Not full speed but pretty decent, 20-30FPS most of time.
4.0.1	Windows 7	AMD FX-6100 @ 3.3 GHz	AMD Radeon HD 6770	Perfect, solved audio crackling by enabling VBeam in properties and setting Framelimit to Audio, sometimes slight (down to 25FPS or so) slowdown in one angle in the main mansion lobby when the torch is visible (Similar problem as in REmake) and when the final boss shoots acid, which I'm sure you can fix by tweaking graphic settings. Also if I played for more than 2 hours straight or ALT-tabbed too frequently it'd crash (some "out of sync" fifo error) so I had to state save once in a while. Apart from that no graphical glitches, FMVs work perfectly and 30FPS throughout
4.0.2	Windows 7	Intel Core i3-2330M @2.2 GHz	Intel HD Graphics 3000	Playable? 18~30FPS, it runs perfectly on FMVs and during menus/single 3D objects but it slows down on some in-game animations. Played a bit though the first stage with no sound to "smooth" the lag. If you have my settings and you want to play this game, try the older stable releases.	Oddlyoko2K
4.0.2	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-2500K @3.3 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce 460 GTX 1GB	Playable. Occasional sound hiccups when going through doors (either a noisy static sound or an abrupt increase in volume and then cessation of the BGM). Generally full speed with Dual Core and Idle Skipping, minor slowdown in a few spots (such as fighting the centipede); enabling VBeam might produce intermittent cackling audio. GPU de-synchronization problems every once in a while.	DolphinTester47
4.0-1601	Windows 7	AMD FX 8350 @ 4 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760	Almost Perfect. I've played a lot with settings and these gave me solid 30FPS, i noticed that internal resolution have a direct performance impact for this game so its better to leave it at native resolution, i have max anisotropic and 2x antialias in general settings and these are the per game settings: - Uncheck "DPS HLE Emulation (fast)" everything else in "Core" is checked click on "Edit Config" and add these lines [Core] GFXBackend = OGL FrameLimit = 0x0000000d DSPHLE = False [Video_Hardware] VSync = True [Video_Hacks] EFBAccessEnable = True [DSP] EnableJIT = True [Video_Settings] EFBScale = 2 --Note: you can increase internal resolution 1 notch by setting EFBScale to 3 but expect some slowdowns to 22-25FPS in some areas, other will still be 30FPS.	terry98
4.0-3369	Windows 7	Intel Core i5-2430M @ 2.4 GHz	Intel HD Graphics 3000	Perfect 100%, backend Direct3D, XFB enabled to virtual, V-sync disabled, idle skipping disabled, skip xfb enabled.	Talos
4.0-3628 VR-hydra	Windows 8.1	Intel Core i7-4770K @ 3.5 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760	Unplayable nice introduction (see video).	Vrbites.com
4.0-4091	Windows 7	Intel Core i7 @ 2.8 GHz	NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770	Flawless with no slow downs, audio irregularities, or graphical problems of any kind. NOTE: I had to play with these settings quite a bit until I found the perfect combination, and this is every setting I used. Framelimit: 60 - Backend: Direct3D - Fullscreen Resolution: 1920x1080 - Aspect Ratio: Stretch To Window - V-Sync-On - Render To Main Window - Internal Resolution: 4xNative - AntiAliasing: 8 Samples (Quality level 32) - Anistropic Filtering: 16x - Scaled EFB Copy - Force Texture Filtering - Per Pixel Lighting - Widescreen Hack Enabled - EFB: Virtual - DSP: HLE Fast - Audio Backend: XAudio2 - Everything on Core was a solid blue Square	tx3000
