Version 0.9.1 is now out, this adds OpenGL and Direct3D for a Rage Mobility M which is basically a Rage Pro.

OpenGL performance is still a lot worse than the native driver but I wanted to start on this as it should be very similar to Rage 2.

I’ve got a 4mb Rage IIc on order so will add that afterwards.

Thanks, this 0.91 version already installs for me and it works with Mach64 VT2, i dont have mobility cards.
Maybe its better to remove subsystem, if its 1002 and if its 4c4d, that would be enough, like you added vt2.

"Velocity9x ATI Mach64 VT2"=V9x.Install.mach64-vt2,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_5654
"Velocity9x ATI Rage Mobility-M"=V9x.Install.rage-mobility-m,PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_4C4D

Did not work for regular Rage Pro 4742,they should be similar to mobility and other rage3
Added other ATi cards inf here after Mach64 VT2 up to Rage2/3 (VT4 is Rage2 based card)

Dont expect miracles from Rage2c, its many times slower than Rage3, but it has D3D.
ATi did not release any OGL for Rage2c and Rage2/+ OGL was for NT3.51 / NT4.0 only.

Thank you, I'm really hoping to get the Rage IIc tomorrow (long weekend in Sydney) and then I will add these extra cards.

I've just added async support (so CPU now isn't waiting for GPU to finishing drawing frame) to the GMA 950 and have got a 50% speed increase! That will be in the next release. HL1 in Direct3D went from 26fps to 39fps.

I've also added some texture improvements to the pipeline for the rage so it should consume less vram.

I will need to add AGP memory or something in future though.

Super cool project!
There were a lot of early graphics cards that never got good drivers. I always wondered what they might be capable of if they had better support.
I look forward to reading more about your progress and watching your videos.

Any plans to add support for the Nvidia Riva 128?

Thanks yes it has been a fun project. Nvidia always had pretty good drivers so I'm not sure how much I can add to those. I am planning to add SiS 6326, Matrox Millennium I/II, Matrox Mystique and Trident 3DImage 9750 at least, big bit of work there.

Looks like my Rage card is delayed unfortunately but that will be my main focus after the Intel GMA950 (and I want todo Gen4/5/6 etc in future too).

Version 0.10 is out with the first release for the Rage IIc, including OpenGL 1.1 support https://github.com/michaeldale/velocity9x/rel … ses/tag/v0.10.0

I've also added the extra cards in the INI file.

If something goes wrong in a game or 3D program, run V9XTRACE.EXE (part of the zip download, not installed by default) straight after it happens, before you restart Windows.

Create an issue on github and send through the whole C:\V9XDIAG folder zipped

I can cofirm that for the desktop and direct3d/opengl works now with Rage Pro AGP 4742 / Rage XL AGP 474D, but direct3d/opengl is not perfect (possibly other Rage3 cards as well).

Yes there is more work to go, if you can let me know program and run V9XTRACE.EXE (from zip) and send me C:\V9XDIAG that will help!

I will send some extra information later for Rage3, at the moment i can confirm that Rage II (4754) and Rage II+DVD (4755) also works with 0.10.0 (dxdiag tests works better for Rage2).

So the driver developement is only done via ki ?

Version 0.11 is now out, includs the first version with SiS 6326 support, some Rage IIC and Pro fixes and also improvements for GMA950.
