Rendition ICR2 Availability?

by Mark Daviso » Tue, 07 Jan 1997 04:00:00

Got a Rendition (3D Blaster) card.  I don't think there was an ICR2 bundle over here
(UK).  Bought all Papy sims except indy500 (didn't have a computer then).  Bought the
Rendition for Papy sims.  N2 is a disappointment.  It looks a bit nicer than standard
version and I can have track & sky textures on but it still isn't the silky performer I
was expecting.  This might be down to the fact that I cant get a DMATEST score above
71.5, which I believe is way below par on my P200.  I can't chance the PCI latency on my
motherboard.
Anyway, non-accelerated SVGA performance is worse than on my old card (3D 2000) so ICR2
and NCR1 look worse than they did.  I need to get Rendition ICR2 somehow.  I bought this
car mainly for my Papy games, and the cards are a lot more expensive over here (UK) than
the US - 170-180 pounds.
Any ideas, let me know.
I'd also like to get a hold of an N2 Atlanta AI patch.  If one's available, let me know.

Thanks,

Mark

mark, try this.

in australia, the screaming 3d and reactor are not available. so i
picked up the 3d blaster. like you i wanted icr2 for the rendition.
following on from some tips i read here i downloaded the new
indycar.zip patch from renditions site about 500k and copied the
indycar.exe file included over my "normal" indycar.exe file. i also
copied the spd3d.uc file from my nascar2 directory into my icr 2
directory. viola, rendition icr2.
note that some tracks that were enhanced, colour only i think, in the
"official" rendition version do not receive the same treatment here
but hey, its the speed we want, right.
i'll leave others to cover anything i missed.
rendition, righteous 3d and pp200, together. guess i'm spoilt.

best
