Rage XL PCI - 3DCIF ?

Yes, this is a new test result: unfortunately Rage XL PCI is too different than the AGP one and 3D CIF not works.
The oldest driver which supports Page XL PCI is the 4.12.2632 (rpro_j5111b20.zip). This is an ATI2DRAE driver. I have tried to downgrade this driver by ATI2DDAD files, but the maximum what I can reach is a faulty image similar like this one.

Hi Gona,

Did you tested RAGE XL PCI (4752) also in DOS with Actua Soccer: Semi-Finals - ATI 3D RAGE version, is result the same, like other Rage3 cards?

I know that at least one ATI_DRAE (WinME built in) Rage driver file is compatible with MACXW4 2573/2582 drivers, when i was testing speed and compability for the 5.38.2582-3dcif, then i used this winme vxd file also, that worked well with MACXW4. Inside winme-macxw4-vxd.zip file, it is already renamed. All the ATi drivers are probably inside DRIVER5.CAB, DRIVER6.CAB, DRIVER7.CAB from WINME folder CD.

I would try original WinME drivers also with RAGE XL PCI (4752), WinME clean install to see if it works with WinME drivers somehow.

One WinME working vxd for MACXW4 drivers:
https://www.upload.ee/files/13910805/winme-ma … w4-vxd.zip.html

WINME vxd file in this 5.38.2582-3dcif driver, HP inf added:
https://www.upload.ee/files/13910895/5.38.258 … -mevxd.zip.html

I cant test it with RAGE XL PCI 4752, at least now or near future. 😀

I have tested RAGE XL PCI (4752) in DOS with Actua Soccer: Semi-Finals - ATI 3D RAGE, and gives erratic picture.
I have not tested the WinME built-in ATI_DRAE driver. I'm going to test it, but I don't think much chance because with 3D Rage PRO can mix different drivers because all of them support it, but none of MACXW4 nor ATI2DRAB work with RAGE XL PCI and this is a big disadvantage.

I have tested, WinME ATI_DRAE driver (by a clean WinME install) and it knows RAGE XL PCI and works in 2D (so this is the earliest driver version that supports RAGE XL PCI). I have copied ati3dcif.dll 4.11.2692 to the system and it gives faulty colored 3d image in 3D CIF (as all ATI2DRAE drivers). I have tried mixing the ATI_VXAE.VXD (virtual device) included in this WinME ATI_DRAE driver with my MACXW4 4.11.2573 based driver pack, but nothing textures in 3D CIF. Than same procedure with ATI_VXAE.VXD and MACXW4 4.11.2582 with the same results, finally I have tried ATI_VXAE.VXD and ATI2DDAD 4.11.2611 (the MITAC driver) but also the same results. So unfortunately 3D CIF compatible .DRV files are not compatible with RAGE XL PCI.

Finally i am @ 4752 and testing this Rage XL PCI out in Windows , HP t5300 works with tiny 64mb hdd and win95b with usb and mouse,
usb stick is as d: drive. M6.10.99 (4.11.2055) is the earliest driver i could find at the moment that works with Rage XL PCI 4752.

D3D / OpenGL options for display properties menu is possible to add with this Reg Files -> d3d-ogl.reg file,
i have not tested if these menu options are working when setting are changed, works with ATI2DRAB / M6,
maybe J series, but not with 5.40.x and earlier macxw4 drivers, as i remember.

Download link: https://docviewer.yandex.ru/view/0/?*=PreVvAk … zc5ODkifQ%3D%3D

More info about these RageLtMan Unified Driver Reg Files (inside udv2.zip):
Feature wise, i've created a new sub folder for this GD, it's called "Reg Files." The folder contains three files, the beloved d3d-ogl.reg file which enables options for D3D and OpenGL in the advanced display properties. The other two files are HMDL files, one will enable HMDL, the other will disable it. HMDL "will place the video command stream into AGP memory. This should give you a performance boost in games that have a lot of vertices." Althought this option really does work, i reccomend it for people with lots of RAM. I noticed a major difference only after i installed a 128 meg chip in computer (which brought me up to 160). If you get problems after using the enabler file, disable HMDL with the other file. Please note that you must reboot before any chage takes effect.

I started out with very early mobility M6 drivers.

M6.00 and M6.10 (4.11.2049) out of the box no 2D for Rage XL PCI.
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ee/drive … driverid=r20187
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ee/drive … driverid=r20412

M6.10.99 (4.11.2055) works with Rage XL PCI, just add 4752 inf. This is the only working directx6 dirver at the moment.
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ee/drive … driverid=r13791

M6.11 works out of the box for 2D @ 4752
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-ee/drive … driverid=r25786

M6.12 also works, but i have not done 3dcif games tests at the moment with any driver so far and 3dcif 3d-demo does not work.

3DCIF 3D-Demo errors:
Error 1
Could not greate primary surface
Error 2
Could not initialize 3d driver

ati2drab. drv (dr_) file is changeable with other M6 driver, so 4.11.2055 ati2drab works with earlier M6.00/M6.10 drivers and 2D is Ok, 3DCIF is not working. Gona did you get 3D-Demo to start with Rage XL PCI 4752 or not and what error you get? Maybe it is time to try 3DCIF Tomb Raider out for me, but 3D Demo should also start, error 1 and error 2 show with different ati3dcif.dll and renamed macxdd32.dll 4.11.5029, at the moment with m6 drivers it is like that, 4.11.2055 i did try out with clean Win95 install, maybe there is some hope left for these cards, at the moment no luck @ 3dcif and 4752 with these ATI2DRAB drivers so far.

I did get 3dcif 3d-demo to work correctly with many driver installations with Rage XL PCI 4752, but that does not say nothing about correct 3dcif games support yet. Also i need to repeat this, because with new windows 95 install, errors are here, that i did get before. I know what drivers i have used and i do not add any new ones now.

At least 4 files was changed in this winme beta driver that i used when it started to work with 3dcif 3d-demo, but many driver installations was before that. This driver uses winme beta files and 4752 @ 2D works out of the box. I have no space left in drive c: to install directx7, i used directx6.
https://docviewer.yandex.ru/view/0/?*=i0hjiY1 … TY1MTMzNzk4OSJ9

I installed this driver with PREINSTALL.BAT and later without .bat, but i changed one precopy Ati_ddae.prec file to this old 5029 version an repeated 5029 for other Atid32ab.dl_ file in this package as well, ati3dcif.dl_ was changed to 2692, but still i miss something, new installation is the same, like others. If the 3d-demo gives errors, so it will be in game situation, i am at least 3d faulty colored state with games if i can start 3d-demo again normally ( it showed correct moving ati logo). d3d-ogl.reg and other reg file in that driver package i was started at some point after driver installation, was it needed or not, i do not know.

Usb cd-rom does not work at the moment in win95, i can use virtual cd with Tomb Raider now, next will be game test, just need to start that 3d-demo witout error again 😀

I am making a new attempt to get the most out of my Scovery machine with Rage LT Pro 4MB.
I will make use of several OS. One will be Win95b with either DX6 or DX6.1
Where can I find the CIF tests to make sure that CIF is working well. After that I will test some D3D and OGL stuff.

This driver may have more luck and success with the Rage XL PCI (4752) and 3DCIF in the end result, but lets see, still WIP, that i slowly do. 😀

I have two unfinised and modified MACXW4 4.11.2598 drivers with minimal setup.exe installation files added and i can upload those if someone need them? That has JP - Japan language files removed and ATi Control Panel added at the moment with OpenGL file included and correct macxw4.inf for OpenGL. Also downgrades are made to add RageXL AGP and Rage2C support for 3DCIF.

OpenGL still does not work even if i use just this one 4.11.2598 macxw4.dr_ (drv) file with other, older macxw4 driver setup, that has functional OpenGL and the moment when i go back to 4.11.2582 or older macxw4.dr_ (drv) file, all ok, also if i edited original 4.11.2598 driver macxw4.inf file, all the same, no OpenGL, just changed 2598 to 2582 and OpenGL is working inside that original 4.11.2598 driver. Anybody has more luck with this latest Macxw4 4.11.2598 and OpenGL (i am testing it with my Rage XL AGP at the moment)? Any help would be great 😀

ATi MiniGL (Opengl32.dll) works fine with 4.11.2598 and even Rage Pro Tweaker OpenGL changes are working with ATi MiniGL (Opengl32) driver, why OpenGL does not work, just because of this one 2D macxw4.dr_ (drv) file.

ATi Rage Pro OpenGL speed behaves very differently and depend on the Game, PC and OpenGL version, ATi Quake1/2 miniGL is usually slower, than some versions of the OpenGL and difference is huge, strange that latest 4.11.2598 macxw4.drv does not work with OpenGL at all, anybody can point out working solution or fix? Thank you!

Edit:
Rage Pro and 4.11.2598 macxw4.drv works fine also with opengl, just with rage xl it is not working.
Rage Pro - direct3d, opengl, 3dcif
Rage XL AGP 474D - direct3d, 3dcif, no opengl (quake1/2 minigl works)
Rage2C - direct3d, 3dcif

I found newer ATi 5.38.3 NEC driver, but for the macxw4.dr_ (drv) part it is using older 2573 macxw4.drv version, other 5.38.3 files are updated and many are newer than in 5.38.2 FUJITSU driver, i update my macxw4 driver soon (this month), downgrade macxw4.dr_ (drv) to 2582 if opengl is needed for Rage XL card, i add this for downgrade path.

I also add RageLTMan HMDL reg files to my driver, info from RageLTMan txt, one reg file will enable HMDL, the other will disable it. HMDL "will place the video command stream into AGP memory. This should give you a performance boost in games that have a lot of vertices." Althought this option really does work, i recommend it for people with lots of RAM. I noticed a major difference only after i installed a 128 meg chip in computer (which brought me up to 160mb). If you get problems after using the enabler file, disable HMDL with the other file. NB! Please note that you must reboot before any change takes effect.

I tested it with 256mb ram and rage3, performance boost is there 😀

What about Tomb Raider. I saw someone playing it under DOS accelerated. It is only voodoo1 - Glide possible? Or also for CIF?

Hi Gona. There seems to be some trouble with the site. It used to work earlier for me. I have to use the Internet Archive to access old versions. Isitdownrightnown says that the site is down.

I tried 3 different ISPs and they have the same result.
