1) Download the latest 1.4.0 version, essential for online plugin at 7 to play with others: http://pcsx2.net/download/releases/windows.html

2) Acquire Japanese BIOS for emulator and ISO in 3, insert into the BIOS folder of emulator directory.

3) Acquire the Japanese Resident Evil Outbreak File#1 and File#2 which later requires the English patch applied from 4.

4) Extract full English patch, launch Delta Patch as adminstrator to target the ISO with the File#1/2 patch included in this file - it also includes a DNAS pass to bypass archaic security features of the severs: http://resouttrans.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1

5) Register to this forum - login details are to connect to the sever and the forum has pertinent links (6): http://obsrv.org/

6) Download the following memory card file, which contains the DNS sever information preconfigured along with all unlocks, and extract it to memcard folder in the emulator directory: http://obsrv.org/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2143

7) Download CLR_DEV9.7z and transfer it, unzipped as 'CLR_DEV9.dll', to the Plugins folder of the emulator directory: http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-Experimental-Winsock-based-DEV9-plugin-Now-with-HDD-Support

8) Launch the PCSX application as an adminstrator and activate/enable 'CLR_DEV9.7z' in Config>Plugin/BIOS Selector for the networking emulation. Additionally, in Config>Dev9>Plugins Settings>Options, set 173.198.207.99 at the DNS1 IP section.

9) Program the preferred input of any controller via Config>Pad

10) Launch either of the ISO's with the plugin (7) and memory card provided (6), proceeding to Network Play to login to the private sever with Obsrv username/password from 5

Warning: Piracy is not endorsed and it is not acceptable to discuss publicly.

Warning 2: Trying to implement the obsolete instructions for network emulation - either WinPCap or the TAP Method - may conflict with the new plugin, which is very much simplified in comparison, method.

Warning 3: You should know the installer version (contrary to the binary) of PCSX 1.4.0 divides folders into two separate categories - one in documents, other in program files.

Warning 4: You may need to reinsert the memory card in the event it's not detected or failing to load.

Warning 5: You do require a competent computer to emulate and improve any graphical settings.

Tip 1: Do not forget to load the new, modified memory card!

Tip 2: Do not forget to extract/unzip/unrar any files which require that!

Tip 3: Do not forget to run as adminstrator for executables!

Tip 4: You require the following installed for PCSX2 and CLR_DEV9 to function correctly:
- Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (for Windows 7 only as an OS)
- Microsoft C++ for Visual Studio 2015 x86 (for PCSX2)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (for CLR_DEV9)

Tip 5: F9 to reveal invisible text!

Tip 6: Be sure the correct BIOS is selected for the memory card file - there was an old issue with incompatibility between these two!
