I know the game can to higher. Anyone have a fix to make Viper see and
enable higher res(1024x768)?

To run at 1024x768, the video card drivers must report at least 15.5 megs of
RAM to DirectX. If you are using a 16 meg Voodoo 3 or a Banshee, you can not
run at that res because they only report (or DX only sees) 15 megs of RAM.

There is now! I got a hacked race.bin from MGI's Dave Broske a couple days
ago that should let you run at 1024x768. Get the Viper Racing Voodoo
Banshee/Voodoo 3 patch at  http://www.racesimcentral.net/
hi-res racing.
Cheers,
Chris
