Resident Evil Zero, known in Japan as Biohazard 0, is a survival horror game that was developed and published by Capcom for the Nintendo GameCube and released in 2002. It was the last of the main titles to use the original Resident Evil game system prior to the change in system ushered in by the release of Resident Evil 4. The game's storyline serves as a prequel to Resident Evil, covering Rebecca Chambers ordeal a day prior. The game was released on November 10, 2002 in North America, November 21, 2002 in Japan, February 28, 2003 in Australia and March 7, 2003 in Europe.

A near straight port was released for the Wii in 2009 under the title Resident Evil Archives: Resident Evil Zero.

Problems

Audio

• Sound crackling is a common issue in this game and some sounds are cut-off, refer issue 2541. The problem can be solved by changing the frame rate limit to Audio, or enabling Audio Throttling in older revisions.
• This sound problem can be fixed by using the new version of dolphin(3.0+) and using xaudio2

Map

The map will always display all the other maps available via a selection menu even if you haven't collected/visited the other map yet. This issue is fixed in latest revisions.
