Widescreen resolution

Player can toggle between original 4:3 or cropped pan-and-scan 16:9. The game uses pre-rendered backgrounds which are all stuck in 4:3.
In 16:9 aspect ratio, the 4:3 backgrounds are cropped and zoomed in with a camera pan added as the character moves higher and lower on the screen. Unfortunately, many areas are still cropped on the top or bottom in 16:9, so some may want to choose 4:3 original aspect ratio. FMVs and in-game cutscenes are better in 16:9 mode (in 4:3 mode for in-game cutscenes, there is an unnecessary pillarbox on the left and right side).
While 4:3 mode is recommended for REmake, Zero is slightly more optimized for 16:9.
Internal rendering resolution is forced at 1920x1440, which can cause performance issues on some low-medium range systems.
Adjust rendering resolution[2]
  1. Download FPS Fix by atom0s
  2. Extract d3d9.dll and d3d9proxy.ini to <path-to-game>.
  3. Open d3d9proxy.ini and modify the [Patch_RenderResolution] as needed, e.g.:
[Patch_RenderResolution]
enabled     = 1
width       = 3840
height      = 2160

Issues fixed

Black screen when launching the game

One cause may be NVIDIA'S Vertical sync setting.
Disable Vertical sync in NVIDIA Control Panel
  1. Open the NVIDIA Control Panel.
  2. Navigate to Manage 3D settings.
  3. Set Vertical sync to either Use the 3D application setting or Off.

If this solves the issue, you can create an exception for this game in the Program Settings tab. That way, you can have Vertical sync enabled globally for your other games, but have it disabled only for this game.

Performance issues on low-end machines

Use Resident Evil Zero Fusion Fix
  1. Extract to <path-to-game>.
  2. Open scripts\ResidentEvil0.FusionFix.ini.
  3. Change DisableCreateQuery = 0 to DisableCreateQuery = 1.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/339340/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (339340) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
