FIFA 99 does indeed work with RRedline. You just need to have your regkeys set like this:

1[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\EA SPORTS\FIFA 99]
2"Thrash Driver"="verite"
3"Group"="D3D"
4"D3D Device"=dword:00000000
5"Triple Buffer"=dword:00000000
6"Hardware Acceleration"=dword:00000001
7"Thrash Resolution"="640x480"

Unfortunately it doesn't work with RReady, I get this:

113:18:38.319 30816 [0] AsyncThread startup thread id 30816
213:18:38.319 30816 [0] Thread started
313:18:38.319 25464 [0] GLContext wglMakeCurrent failed 0x000007D0

513:18:38.320 25464 [0] Texture generation failed. Null tex is

This means that the pixel format the game chooses for the window can't be made OpenGL compatible. I tried using dgVoodoo's D3D dlls, without much luck. I'm going to try on the Stealth II.

On original hardware, RRedline is implemented on top of D3D, so it should work. Future Cop doesn't seem to work at all with any renderer on Windows 11.

It gets stuck at a black screen on original hardware.

I found out why it doesn't work with RReady. It doesn't pass a window handle (HWND) to VL_OpenVerite. So I added support to the routine to work it out and I get a black screen and a crash with this in the log, when detailed debugging is enabled:

The exception seems to occur while unlock a mutex (a thread safety structure), after enqueuing a command buffer and it's repeatable. I think this app has been compiled with single threaded libraries or something. Even forcing single threaded affinity doesn't seem to help.

The windscreen in GPL is transparent only at the sides and solid in front with RReady. On original hardware it's fine. That's the flickering car model you saw in Monza and possibly at Silverstone, where the transparent section momentarily turned solid.
