It works well, unlike the half-baked version I churned out.

It uses different opcodes. I interpreted 0x00000000 to be add %0, %0, #0 or something, but in this it's treated as a noop.

other sources worth to mention:

i will try to review all verite games and drivers also, maybe we will find something also.

Well i decided to look into bjorn3d.com at archive org i found some files: (WARNING None of those files tested! its unknow if they are harmless, use at own risks, i told you)

Is there any way to get a copy of the the new rride?

Will check out the other stuff tomorrow.

Does rrbench run against rready?

Well need to ask MichaelHuth about it.
RRBench runs in RReady everything perfect.

This:
https://web.archive.org/web/19980421105043/ht … les/rendclk.zip

adjusts direct draw settings like triple buffering via the registry. It has a gui which let's you tweak things.

RRBench needs forced fullscreen.

RRBench update crashes.

With RReady at least.

RRBench update is not needed archive already patched by this update , the older version is not on archive org

Does rride run at 60 fps on V2200?

I'll add rrbench to the redline demos with the next update, hopefully with ICR2 support.

i can't count fps , by judging of my sight , no , especially fps drops seen on rotation of images going to fill full screen.

I've figured out the speedy 3d fifo commands or at least I think I do.

Not sure how to identify a primary surface. It's just a block of ram set with vl_setdisplaybase, which generates a v_fifo_display. With rredline the structures passed in identify the surface. With speedy3d all those things are hidden and only the low level structures are accessible like memory buffers.

I'll check out the source dump tomorrow to see how buffer swaps work. Looking at the source feels like cheating.

Someone with Nickname WhiteMagicRaven on youtube asked me to post the files from the 2TheRRedline competition here.

You can find it at my ftp at
ftp://retronn.de/driver/Rendition/2RRedline/

You might as well have a look at the other files, in case you still miss something.

ow thank you very much its me))))

Woohoo! Is that Rride v3 and more?

Thank you, thank you!

RRide3 has rendering glitches with RReady. With the background not rendering.

LameAss, SadTri and TheBomb are variations of the SDK demo of various SDK htri demos. LameAss I think actually is one of the SDK demos.

The other two alter the coordinates of the triangles.

looks like ToTheRRedline-top8\TDH_Demo is have troubles to use dynamic texturing in RReady , need to check in hardware
ToTheRRedline-top8\R3 looks different
if you look at LameAss directore there is also parts of unpoblished rendition source, that means developers of "ToTheRRedline Contenst" had access to it? Probably under DNA.
So looking carefully into every file there is worth.

Ok Checked on real hardware RRBench looks perfect in RReady
ToTheRRedline-top8\TDH_Demo
and
ToTheRRedline-top8\R3
have troubles. Will post video

I'm trying to fix RRide3 at the mo. It's distracted me from Speedy3D. The front buffer as texture(RenderToTexture) was only implemented for lines (for Quake2 and Hexen II). I've added support for polygons as well but the last two sections (with the bobbing head) and the spinning rectangle don't work properly.
