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

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. Chris "What is real? Are you certain you know what reality is?

> Ok, so is there a fix or work around? 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.shadows.com/nascar/ hi-res racing. Cheers, Chris "What is real? Are you certain you know what reality is?
