First of all, let me say that the complaints about how this is a GPL only forum are just silly. I have posted NO questions on this topic; all my questions, however, have been answered. (OK, most. I still don't know if anyone tried World Driver Championship on N64.) But... I have been reading GPL posts with great interest, and from experience I know that if so many people are passionate about it, I should pick it up. I'm not sure it will work with my system, though - I have a PIII 500 with a Diamond Viper Ultra 770 32 meg video card. I couldn't get the demo to go, but maybe I had some settings wrong. Anyway, I saw GPL2 for sale on line for $15.00. If I can get the demo to run, I think I'm buying it based on the great support and following it seems to be getting here. This way, by contributing with questions and observations, I can help convince certain individuals that this truly is a GPL-only forum. (Which should be obvious, since after all it is rec.autos.gpl2.) Thanks and regards! Andrew "Consider the daffodil.

If you got GPl 2 then buy it for 15$ and you can probably send about 5, 000 copies of the game here for about $30 each Are you sure it was not GP2, only one letter but a big difference.... Andrew <[email hidden]> a �crit dans le message : LGtW4.206365$[email hidden]...

er.... GPL2? I'll have to e-mail Papyrus about this since they don't even know they've written it yet! :) Anyway, there isn't a GPL2, just GPL. GPL only supports Glide(3dfx) and Rendition cards out of the box, so to get it to run with your TNT2 you'll need the OpenGL Beta2 patch from www.papy.com , I don't know whether this patch works with the demo, but it definitely works with the full game. Give it a try and see what kind of performance you would get if you bought the full game.
