I see discussion on that sourceforge site about the srkey.exe file possibly not existing; these games were released several times, both by original Fiendish Games and Small Rockets, so it's possible the srkey.exe (sounds like Small Rockets key) may be called something else for older Fiendish Games ( …

Sonic Superstars Tennis; it might not be that old a game, but it was ported to Mac but not PC, which is pretty unusual!

Confirmed, you can now see shadows under the car in V-Rally 3, for the first time ever! You do need dgVoodoo2 for this game, as it flickers stroboscopical when in-car, without it.

Touch-wood, as this is only based on the demo on a laptop running Intel graphics, but with 2.61 I can, for the first time ever, see shadows under the cars in V-Rally 3; they've never appeared before on any previous graphics cards I've owned! 2.60 doesn't seem to show them.

A little bump here: anyone got the Controls menu to actually remember your settings? I tried compatibility modes, but they're just forgotten. And trying a games controller (Xbox360 pad or G27 wheel) crashes the game as soon as you go to redefine any control.

Yeah that game's a bit tricky. Try dgVoodoo2? I've got the game but can only run DirectDraw not D3D (it is possibly to get in game in D3D but the menus are all black!). I've also got Worldwide Soccer 98, a Japanese exclusive on PC, which works fine. I think it came out in US as Worldwide Soccer …

I've just noticed that from 2.55 onwards (2.54 was fine; WIP61 has same issue) that V-Rally 1 is drawing distant tiles floating in the air, they then glide down into place. On 2.54 they seem to be clipped and not visible in the distance. I should say this is the Glide version, at least.

I tried taking screenshots of the issue but just got a pink/purple screenshot! Here's video of the game in question; it's the menus that have the rogue pink at the edge of items (which should be black or transparent): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bfi4SqBmpu8

I'm running it with compatibility mode Reduced colour mode: 16-bit. I'm using dgVoodoo2 against it (2.54 but probably works on later ones). I do have d3drm.dll in the game folder too, it might use that.

Right-click the shortcut for the game, click Compatibility and choose Reduced clour mode: 16bit. Personally though, I use a ripped version of the GOG release, where they fixed a great deal. I actually bought the Moto Racer Collection pack from anuman.fr, who had the official license at that time, …

Just in case anyone else comes across this, as I was searching for info on the game before I capture it, I found using F3 and F4 can slow the framerate to make it playable on PCs that are too fast. Either that or set DOSBox cycles to between 15000 - 30000 (depending on what is playable)! It's a bit …

I just checked the manual, you can use +/- on keyboard to increase road draw distance, and +/- on the keypad to increase sprite draw distance. But it's still likely to run at either a crazy frame rate or a jerky one. The bigger issue of running it fast is that if you collide with the scenery, …

Yeah it can be tricky; make it fast and you can breeze through every track by wallriding, and all the opposition cars retire (lol). Make it too slow and it's choppy. There's some keys in the game to increase draw depth too I think, something like F12 or Ctrl & +, I forget. I'll be looking at it when …

The original game only filtered the sky in Glide mode, it was a bit of a half-hearted 3Dfx implementation!
