I was wondering, did Ultim@te Race Pro always have the buggy sky on PowerVR SGL hardware?
All screenshots and videos that I was able to find were recorded on a Neon 250, which seems to have the sky issues, as seen in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vC44eSC9ow

(Screenshot recovered from Archive.org from another thread on Vogons, which from what I remember was claimed to be rendered on a Neon 250)

While in the Glide version looks like:

The Non-Pro versions like the 1 Track and 3 Track version of Ultimate Race do not seem to exhibit this issue, as seen in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tf2x_rKjJAE and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJKradGC9ao

I was wondering if the sky issue also is present in non Neon 250 PowerVR hardware, like the Apocalypse 3D and/or Matrox M3D.
Can someone provide screenshots or recordings of the game running on the Apocalypse 3D and/or Matrox M3D?

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.

Works fine for me. Tested on my Matrox m3D with Ultim@te Race Pro:
