Real3d R3D/100, has anyone ever seen it?

Found it. Feel free to let us know if you get it to work.

 

Thank you very much!
I'll test it immediately!

By the way, the Readme says:
"This wrapper should work on both V1000 and V2100/V2200 machines,
with both 4MB and 8MB."

 

It works pretty well!
But you have to install a very old driver to get it going.
I've took the one from the original CD.

The performance is pretty well!
About 30FPS in Unreal or even in Unreal Tournament at 640*480!

And here is a screenshot from UT@ 1024*768 (~8FPS )

 

I thought the latest set of public release drivers would be OK, but not the "developer drivers". Don't remember exactly how driver dependent it was, bit perhaps using only an older redline.dll might work.

Anyway, thanks for the screenshot. This is with the most recent "Unreal friendly" build (from the archive within the archive), yes? My Diamond Stealth II is smiling down from its celestial (well, the attic I believe) resting place...

 

Just got back to this thread, awesome stuff, thank you!

 

Zaphod - could you please dig up the sourcecode sometime to BigRRed? That would be quite interesting.

 

Or just post the DLL here? *pretty-paaah-lease*

 

Holy thread resurrection, Batman...!

Anyway: Dug it up again, and have attached it for your Rendition-nostalgia pleasure.

 

THANKS a lot - now this thread can rest in peace.

 

Until you create the first redline to d3d wrapper

 

zaphod did bigrred come before creative's unified ?

 

Don't remember exactly when Creative came out with their thing (TNT era, 1999?), but this must have been quite a bit earlier. IIRC, it started its life (as an entry in a programming contest?) on bjorn3d back in late 1997 (first version ran a 3dfx demo screensaver).

 

Whoops, forgot about my account here.
