NASCAR Racing 1999 Edition does not work with my V2200 8MB PCI card. Not in Windows 98SE, nor in DOS. I use the latest Hercules driver version 0.85. But it works fine with the "BigRRed" glide_wrapper, even on a Pentium200.
What drivers are you using?

About Indy Car Racing II, you can try different spd3d.uc driver files or try this http://web.archive.org/web/19980421092408/www … com/3dtips.html

6Q:: I can't get Indy Car Racing II to work on my V2x00 card!!
7
8A: Ok, there are a few things you can try. Get the icr2_v2k.zip from my download page and try it and see if it works. Also try renaming the spd3d.uc to spd3d.uc2. Then try the v2dosfix.zip and see if you can run it under DOS. Colin Taber mailed me this great step-by-step solution. you can also find it at http://members.aol.com/snakeracin/snake/v2x00.htm

12Hello ICR2 drivers!
13
14If you've got a new Diamond Stealth II or Hercules Thriller or other video board based on the v2x00 series of Rendition chips, you know that it is not fully compatible with the Rendition version of Indycar II by Papyrus. Unfortunately, there is the same problem with the rerelease of the game as CART Racing. The main problem is that the mirrors appear square, and the cars ghost really badly in the lower part of the mirror, which is where they always are. This makes the game almost undriveable if you rely on your mirrors in a race. Also the area of the cockpit above the dash doesn't appear at all - cosmetic yes, but it detracts from the simulation.
15
16Stefan at Rendition put together a partial solution, which if implemented in the manner described below, has worked 99% of the time to solve most of this problem. I don't know who originally figured this out - I'm just attempting to present it here in an intelligible form for other users. There are basically two steps to make.
17
181. NEW INDYFAST.BAT
19
20First of all, you have to edit the indyfast.bat to get it to run even with the screwy 
21mirrors. (If you are running from WIN95, either quit to a DOS session or make sure you
22change the properties of 'indyfast.bat' to DOS-only after you edit it.) I suggest you 
23backup your original indyfast.bat to another name
24
25Here's what that file should look like (note: if you're using CART racing, all the
26places it says "indycar2" or "indy", you will find the letters "cart"):
27
28@echo off
29rem INDYFAST.BAT - Runs Indycar Racing Rendition in DMA mode
30rem DMA mode is faster than FIFO mode, but does not work on some machines
31rem * Expects game executable indycar.EXE in game directory
32rem * Currently expects 9/10/96 version of SPD3D.UC
33rem * INDYCAR2's DOS4GW will not work if Quake's QDPMI is installed
34c:
35cd c:\indycar2
36REM set SPEEDY3D=C:\INDYCAR2
37REM set SPEEDY3D_DMA=1
38rem Only use this if your machine fails to recognize the correct amount of
39rem memory installed on your board. Set it to the number of megabytes.
40rem set SPEEDY3D_MEMSIZE=4
41rem Display Rendition logo
42RR
43if exist INDYCAR.DMP del INDYCAR.DMP
44echo.
45echo INDYFAST.BAT: Redirecting output to file 'INDYCAR.DMP'
46echo.
47INDYCAR2 > INDYCAR.DMP
48mode co80
49echo.
50REM echo INDYFAST.BAT: Displaying file 'INDY.DMP':
51REM echo.
52REM type INDY.DMP
53REM echo.
542. THE MONKEY BUSINESS
55
56The concept is simple. I'm no expert, but here's the deal. The speedy3d acceleration 
57process uses a file called spd3d.uc (located in your Indycar2 directory) to instruct the
58Rendition chip what to do. Using the patched indycar2.exe included in Stefan's patch 
59(icr2_v2k.zip, available at Bjorn's 3d World), you have to boot the game twice, once using
60the original spd3d.uc, and then with the patched spd3d.uc2 file. The trick is, you have to

61rename the spd3d.uc2 file to spd3d.uc as well. So you're in essence swapping the uc files,
62which you have to boot the game twice to do. Clear enough?
63
64What I did is copy the two uc files (original spd3d.uc and patched spd3d.uc2) to a new 
65folder called MONKEY, then made a few batch files to run it easily.
66
67Step-by-step instructions:
68
691.Put spd3d.uc and spd3d.uc2 in a subdir called MONKEY in your ICR2 dir
702.Create two batch files, as follows, in your INDYCAR2 directory:
71
72a. text of MONKEY1.BAT
73
74del spd3d.uc
75copy monkey\spd3d.uc spd3d.uc
76call indyfast
77b. text of MONKEY2.BAT
78
79del spd3d.uc
80copy monkey\spd3d.uc2 spd3d.uc
81call indyfast
823.Make sure indycar2.exe, indyfast.bat, monkey1.bat and monkey2.bat are in your INDYCAR2 dir.
834.From INDYCAR2 dir type monkey1 (copies first uc file to ICR2 dir, boots the game)
845.Exit ICR2 game
856.From INDYCAR2 dir type monkey2 (copies first uc file to ICR2 dir, boots the game)
86
873. ALT-A/WRAPUP
88
89This should work. Let me know if not. If it's not working at all, you probably have the 
90wrong indycar2.exe and spd3d.uc files to begin with. Email me to report problems or ask
91questions. Also, the graphics ontrack midscreen will show a little distortion in the distant 
92horizon on the track -- the tire tracks looks a little blocky... Press Alt-A to turn on 
93anti-aliasing, which worked for me. Others say things are still a bit off for them. I also
94notice a lot of funny transparency problems on my Stealth II with helmets, dust and some of 
95the scenery - they sometimes flash in a chrome-like sort of way. But this is far less 
96irritating than mirrors you can't use.
97
98Apparently you have to go through this monkey business every time you boot up DOS. If you 
99quit the game but stay in DOS, you just have to run indyfast and it still is patched. I found 
100that if I played the game, then returned to WIN95, I had to do the whole deal again. Anyone
101with a report on this aspect or any other aspect of this problem, feel free to email me - I'll 
102post the important bits for others. For instance I'm not sure if this all works from WIN95 
103without quitting to a DOS session.

If your game is installed in "C:\ICR2", you can use my files without modification.
Start "MONKEY1.bat" first, (the game should work now but does have artifacts in the mirrors and on the cockpit)
then quit the game and
start "MONKEY2.bat".
Now the game works without artifacts in the mirrors, but it also disabled anti aliasing in them.

Thanks a lot!!!
IndyCar II works now 😀 stangely I only have to use monkey1.bat and it starts just fine at first try (under DOS), but I don't mind that 😁
I tried to adapt the batch file for scorched planet (since it shows the same error), but no luck 😒
You don't accidentally have a fix for that lying round for that one either ? 😁

For NR1999: I switched the QDI with an Thriller 3D 4MB card during the last tests and that card runs NR1999 with no problems with the 0.85 driver.
I'm currently re-applying an OS Image without drivers and then I'll plug the QDI back in to test it for you. I think I used the same driver and it worked with no problems.
I'll report back in a few minutes 😀

NR1999 works for me with a QDI Legend 8MB AGP and Hercules 0.85 driver. No special things to do.
The spd3d.uc in the gamefolder is from 1996-10-25 and has 56KB size. What is yours like?
I attached mine if yours is different.

Thank you for testing NR1999. It's probably just my game version. The spd3d.uc file seems to be the same.

There seems to be a problem with emm386, Rendition & Scorched Planet, but probably not your problem?

Problem: There have been reports of lockup problems running Scorched Planet with Rendition Verite based cards. The symptoms are that Scorched Planet presents you with a black screen upon running it. The problem is due to compatibility problems between the Rendition's own driver library, Speedy 3D and emm386.

Solution: Should you be experiencing problems in running the Rendition Verite enhanced version of Scorched Planet, here's what you should do:

1) If you have emm386.exe in your config.sys file, you can try adding the /NOEMS switch. The line in your config.sys file will now look something like (your version may vary slightly):

DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE /NOEMS

2) If #1 doesn't work, try removing or commenting out EMM386.EXE from your config.sys file entirely. You may wish to prepare a boot disk as an alternative solution at this point.

Maybe just try every spd3d.uc file you can get.

Under Windows Dosbox i get a black screen with Scorched Planet.
Under DOS I get a corrupted screen as in my picture some posts earlier.
I'll try some spd3d.uc files then, perhaps I'm lucky 😀

Sadly no luck 🙁
I found 8 different spd3d.uc files but all show the exact same result.
Any further ideas are welcome.

I just received my QDI 8MB AGP v2200 card and the first thing I wanted to try was Tomb Raider for DOS. So I downloaded the Verite patch, replaced tomb.exe and the game complains:
"Could not open Verite. Error code 20:03"
what am I missing? Do I need another spd3d.uc file ?

edit:
I needed to patch TOMB.EXE with v2dosfix patcher , now TR works... I'm gonna leave this info here just in case anyone is hasty and does not spend some time reading for more info 🤣

edit2:
been messing with both TR and vQuake under DOS, I like what I am seeing... too bad mode-x is ultra-slow with the card, it would make a nice choice...

edit3:
So I was looking at vogonsdrivers, in the "Rendition - QDI Vision-1 BIOS/Drivers" package.
Inside there is a v1.44 BIOS and a flash utility. My card reports this on boot:

So 1.44 is a newer version, before I flash it , is there a point to save the older BIOS or something? Anyone needs it?

Well, 1.0.4.144 is the latest BIOS , I flashed the new one and it did not change anything... weird versioning 🤣

Are there NT4 OpenGL Drivers for Verite 2100/2200 ?

What is a second and thirds connector? Is it 3D shutter glasses interface like on older Kasan vga cards?
Or is it only normal TV-out?

Yes some V2200 cards optionally had 3D shutter glasses support. But I think the above card just has Svideo and composite video.

Thank You. It is strange one of main shutter glasses producers dropped this feature. Kasan´s older product (S3 and Trident) were with connector for glasses.

I've got a problem trying to get Nascar Racing 2 (the Rendition version) running in MS-DOS 6.22, with a QDI Vision 1 card running in tandem with a Voodoo2 SLI config. When running in Windows 98, it works fine, including if I reboot into DOS mode. However in Pure DOS 6.22, the game fails to detect the card, so it doesn't run. Any ideas? Are there Rendition drivers for DOS or something that I need to apply?

It's a V2200 card and the game looks for V1000, I guess? There's a utility to patch older Speedy3D games to recognize V2200 cards. It's on VOGONS Drivers .

Ahhh yes, I forgot the V1000 detection doesn't work when running in win9x or DOS mode. Funny, I'd always thought it was a native V2x game. Obviously not. Damn it's smooth though. I'd always thought the 3DFX beta offered superior performance, but clearly not... Even with a voodoo2 in SLI (or even a voodoo3 - which ironically has is more reliable in that the textures don't get corrupted occasionally, unlike on the voodoo2) the frame-rate tanks going into some corners...

That's interesting. Maybe the Glide version didn't get as much optimization.

Well the 3DFX patch was only a beta. It's advantages over the Software & Rendition versions include: Anti-aliasing, fog & ability to take screenshots. However the anti-aliasing function causes a line to appear in the cockpit view whenever its turned on. Also trackside textures like signs etc. are blurred in 3DFX mode, and the frame-rate is still iffy when the on-screen action is busy.

I'm sure somewhere I read that that patch is v1.3, and there's an improved v1.4 beta patch out there somewhere, but I can't be too sure. If I could more easily take screenshots of the rendition version, i'd like to compare the textures on the cars as well between the Rendition & 3DFX versions...

Who here is familiar with the "RR.EXE" application (essentially displays an Animated Rendition Logo, then quits) that comes with the Rendition version of at least CART Racing? It puts my monitor into an odd resolution and/or refresh rate. Does anyone know if it's possible to alter this app's resolution/or refresh rate at all?

Secondly - i'm trying to get CART Racing to work properly with my QDI V2200 card. I've installed the rendition version (pure DOS 6.22), and it works straight out of the box even in DMA/FAST mode, without editing any of the batch files - All I had to do was just run v2dosfix first on both the RR and CART executables. HOWEVER, i've still got the screwy mirrors, and i'm just trying to make sense of that old Bjorn's 3D world article. Why is he commenting out the SET SPEEDY3D lines in his batch file? Surely that would turn DMA mode off?

Secondly, does anyone know why we have to run the game first with the original SPD3D.UC file and THEN exit & run it with the fixed version? Why can't it run with the fixed version straight awway?

Hm stupid the OpenGL ICD does not work on NT4, and the Driver seems todo only sturdy 2D.

Anyone knows howto enable 3D on NT4 using a Rendition ?

The new chips were designed for Microsoft Windows 9x and NT 4.

So the 2x00 Generation should do 3D on NT4 right ? except D3D.

Does anyone have the Video BIOS for Diamond Multimedia Stealth II S220 which makes the V2100 to V2200 ?

Have you tried one of this package.

glquake still does not work on nt4, damn it.
it seems gl is only supported on 9x ?

so no 3d for my smp pentium 1 system 😒
