- Fixes [ALT+R] and {ALT+X] frame rate indicator not rendering correctly.

[EDIT] Please check the MD5s of the download.

open a command prompt and type:
certutil -hashfile <paste full path to file locally> md5

I just found a bunch of strange folders on my web servers. Not sure whether they were left over from when my brother installed wordpress without telling me. I should hope not. Word press is gone now. [/EDIT]

You'll have to use default dosbox-rendition.conf settings:
threadsafe=false
highperformance=true
picdma=true

Got the CGL driver to load my custom build using this:

1    unsigned long error = 0;
2
3    printf("3D Blaster Info 0.1 by Ian Hanschen\r\n");
4    printf("Attempting driver load (fixed)\r\n");
5    printf("Test build\r\n");
6    IFE0(cglLoad("", CGL_BOARD_VERITE_REV01, CGL_CDL_FIXED));
7    //ERR()
8    //IFE(cglLoad("VRITB170.CGL", CGL_BOARD_AUTO, CGL_CDL_FIXED));
9
10    cgl_screen.wReference = CGL_TOP_LEFT;
11    cgl_screen.wMode = CGL_M640x480x60Hz;
12    cgl_screen.wColorFormat = CGL_RGB5551;
13    cgl_screen.wBuffers = CGL_DOUBLE;
14    cgl_screen.wOption = CGL_D16S0;
15    cgl_screen.dwUB_BufferSize = 0;
16    OUT("cglQueryScreen\n");
17    IFE(cglQueryScreen(&cgl_screen));
18    ERR()
19    OUT("cglInitScreen\n");
20    IFE(cglInitScreen(&cgl_screen));

which produced this output:

1V:\DOS\3DBINFO>dos32a 3dbinfo

My modded VRITB*.CGL file redirected the every single call to CGL port 0xC800 with a unique value for each function.

and in the dosbox-renditon log file:

12025/8/7|5:0:11.969 *** CGL input port C800 = value 1612 (bytes: 4)
22025/8/7|5:0:11.969 Registers regsA 00000000, regsB 00000000, EBX: 0017A3E0, ECX:00000001

0x280 is 640 and 0x500 is 1280 (2 bytes * 640) I *think*.

Zandvoort, Willow Springs and Watkins Glen are Rendition Ready:

Zandvoort had to be reduced to 3 mips to load. Watkins Glen 1967 (Nascar 3) managed 4. Willow Springs was already Rendition Ready.
