Grand Prix Legends & MGA-200 Patch

by Kirk Lan » Sat, 26 Dec 1998 04:00:00

Has anyone tried Grand Prix Legends with Matrox's MGA-200 hardware
acceleration patch?  It's in beta, I just want to know if it works any
good and if it is worth risking any crashes (?).

Actually, they also strongly reccommend NO groove on the
track..considering that I have yet to GET the PC that I can put GPL on,
let alone raced it (got it for Christmas, PC is late on shipping), I
really need that groove...I guess its just going to be me seeing which
is more drivable..

Hi Kirk,

They say no groove because it does not draw correctly (right in front of the
car).
It does work with the groove.

The patch is just a DLL file you put in your GPL folder and a core.ini
change.
It will not harm GPL as you select the video driver: either G200 or 3Dfx for

example.

I have a Monster2 12mb and really only tried the G200 for kicks (forgot
the exact fps and such, but it was from 25-36fps -- much better than
software)

Jason.
