Hi all,
I've recently started using a Riva TNT2 based card in my socket 7 machine and - as is well known - it's a fantastic 2D DOS card. But there's one game that doesn't work with it I've found - Street Rod. I've tried the first release of the game, plus the freely available 'SE' version. And I've tried a 'proper' TNT2 (Diamond Viper 770) and a TNT2 M64, both of these are 32MB cards.
I don't have a screenshot to share but if you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about - vertical banding all across the screen, like 2 images have been sent through a shredder and reassembled to make one image. With the original version, it happens when you move your mouse in the DRM screen. The SE version works fine - you can run the game and race, etc. But if you save and then load a game, then it happens there.
I've tried different memory configurations and removing any mouse drivers, and I've tried various system speeds (it's a K6-2+ based system so SETMUL can make it run like a 486) - no change.
This game works fine on this machine with a Riva 128 or any other card I've tried, so it seems to be the TNT2 specifically.
This is a long shot but has anyone else experienced this and knows of a fix?
Thanks.
