Hi all,

I *just* got my Thriller 3-D 8-meg card installed, and it is AWESOME in
Nascar 2 and Soda (to name a few).  My problem is with Indy Car Racing 2.
It won't load in rendition mode.  It says something like "v1000 chip not
found".  Is there a patch or work around for this?  Every other program that
I have tried so far seems to be running GREAT!  I remember hearing that
there was some trouble getting ICR2 to run with the new Rendition chips, but
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas.

Thanks,

I saw in the latest PCGamer a patch called ICR2_V2K.zip.....It adds support
for the the 2000 series chips. It was a beta patch. It may be worth buying
the magazine since its on the CDRom. I couldn't find it on their site.

Thanks a lot for the info John.  I will look for that magazine today!

I did get the patch from The Adrenaline Vault's web site, but it's not
working. :-(

I read and followed the readme.txt file, but when I try to run ICR2 all I
get are some colored lines at the top of the screen, but the sound works
fine.  I have tried it several ways, including running in pure DOS.  From
the info at Adrenaline's site, Rendition is the manufacturer of the patch.
I checked their web site, but can't find any e-mail address for tech
support.

Any ideas anyone???

Thanks for the tip, Ed.  I have been trying to use the ICR2 patch with *NO*
luck, so maybe the v2dosfix utility will be the way to go.  Thanks again!

Ed,
 Just curious....when you run ICR2 with indyfast in DOS.......how are your
mirrors and dash? Correct?  (I'm talking without any other patch being used
with the v2dosfix)

The mirrors are messed up.  Is there a fix for this?

Remove the NOSPAM to email.

The problem is the microcode file that doesnt initialize the V2000. Run the
patch that you downloaded first with the old spd3d.uc that came with the
rendition version for the V1000 boards (or the one from N2). You will see that
the mirrors are messed up and the upper part of the***pit is missing. Then
copy the spd3d.uc that came with the V2000 patch into the ICR2 directory and
start it anew. Then all works fine. You have to do this in pure DOS not in a
DOS box! You can create a batch file for automatically doing this.

Have fun!
