It fixes the errors which occurs with the 3dFX Banchee cards, you even can
change the framerate of the mirrors!

Everything you need for GPL !!!
I think I saw the arcade game you were talking about at the new high
tech arcade at Metrotown mall in Vancouver. You actually had to decide
wether to come from off the pace or go to the front etc. as you rocked
the horse back and forth.
As an old horseracing fan Id love to see it on the pc, but I have my
doubts that there would be enough interest in it.

Leads me to believe that there might be a problem with this patch. Has
anybody else see this occur with the Banshee fix?

Patch was a no go for me - it worked OK for the game itself but all
the option screens were screwed up - the option screens ran using only
the upper left 3/4 of the screen no matter what I tweaked in the
set-up file. (The game ran full screen)

The readme file mentions that the menus will be messed up, the author
felt it was worth the sacrifice to have the game work reliably.

According to the author, some of the Banshee problems are a result of
resolution changes when GPL switches from the menus to driving/replay views.
He apparently chose to eliminate this by trapping calls to Glide that change
screen resolution. So if you're running 1024 x 768 in driving view, your
menus are displayed in that same resolution and hence occupy only a portion
of the ULH corner of the screen.
I'm still concerned about the locked screen I mentioned earlier in this
thread. In addition, there's a performance hit associated with trapping
calls to Glide. Perhaps, the author could address that here?
