RaVeN-05, there is still one thing you haven't tried:
Re: Rendition Verite Thread
The more sharangad knows about the card, the better 😀

Can't understand what to do.
Need detailed instruction.

Into the formula 1 folder:
Copy Redline.dll and Verite.dll from the F1 drivers.
Copy V10003D.uc into the system folder.

Try running F1. I think it'll work.

If that doesn't work, what @AgentoftheBSOD did was replace verite.vxd in system with the version from the F1 drivers. I wouldn't advise you to do this because
verite.vxd is part of the installed driver.

@AgentofhteBSOD could get away with replacing verite.vxd because he has proprietary drivers (Canopus Total 3D) which don't come with a Verite.vxd. The vxd file has a different name. I don't even know if you can replace it with reference drivers because verite.vxd should be locked on most systems.

it is about using rendition drivers that were provided together with game formula 1
you copy Redline.dll and Verite.dll to the game folder
and copy V10003D.uc to c:\windows\system

maybe you will be able to copy verite.vxd to c:\windows\system in dos
not sure if it will allow booting windows with working gfx driver,
but maybe the game will start

ok i found potential way:
F1 CD has directory RREDLINE by copying all content into F1 directory game starts, 3d scenes of race not works, everything else works , including credit parts.

i think this can be earliest v1000 drivers , and seeing winspd3d.uc makes me think its Speedy3D ported to Windows

in theory F1 should work on v2000 as dos speedy3d works also with glitches, i think it should work also with glitches , and as i see it has main glitch - unability to render Race itself

WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this derictory contains *.NMS symbol debug files , and at end there is huge dump of source code~!!!!!!

Thanks Robertmo3 for pointing that =) ~!

Holy...!

What's an nms file?

Can you extract the it?

I think the 3d will work if you copy v10003d.Uc to the system folder.

tried to copy to windows\system this file , does nothing

they are easy readable as Text files, scroll down each file and there is sources of each

🤣 "THIS IS UNPUBLISHED PROPRIETARY SOURCE CODE OF RENDITION, INC. "

Woohoo! Will check it out later tonight.

ROFLMAO!

BTW, figured out what ICR2 in fifo mode does. It literally issues the same commands as rredline, but directly through port and mem writes.

I don't know how fast I can make it go. Tomorrow I'm going to start the rendering block, converting port writes and appending them to command buffers.

The source was right there for more than 25 years.

This message is going to make rounds in the PC emulation sections probably

I feel like an all nighter tonight.

Thank you @robertmo, @agentofthebsod and @raven-05.

You've improved the quality of my life immeasurably!

Thank you! very very much!

Man, I love you guys!

There was a problem mentioned with the V1K driver for the F1 game, check description

Confirm on v2000 exiting leads to heavy image distortion.

VL_PointSurface doesn't recreate the vsurf structure in the source. Vquake2 doesn't survive that with rready. Vhexen2 does. Maybe there's a way to get the golems working.
