Model 3 can use both triangles and quads.

It's not a JTAG issue as the game never performs JTAG writes during a race. More likely there must be some exception to sun clamping being disabled... the lasers are translucent so maybe sun clamping still occurs for translucent polygons? Changing the line: if(sunClamp) { to: if(sunClamp || finalDat...

Don't thank me too much, it's my fault this even happened in the first place

I'd say even a GTX 1050 should be enough. My GTX 1060 3GB runs games fast enough at 1440x1080 very comfortably.

Oops... this glitch is happening because I patched the wrong memory location in Games.xml. My bad :oops: Go into Games.xml, find Scud Race Plus (Revision A, scudplus) and change the following: <!-- Prevent "rolling start" scrolling glitch --> <patch region="crom" bits="32&qu...

It wouldn't improve performance on the GPU side, but it would mean that the code used to calculate the near/far clipping planes wouldn't need to be run. The way it works is that it manually transforms every model that intersects with the left, right, top and bottom clipping planes and checks every p...

One of the questions regarding the Model 3 is how it figures out which values it should use for the near/far clipping planes, and the simple answer is that it doesn't. The Model 3 uses a 22-bit floating-point reversed z-buffer - 6 bits exponent, 16 bits mantissa - which offers high precision over an...

So how does the AA step work exactly? Like some sort of post processing step? I'm surprised we never noticed this in video captures, but then again compression etc .. and the fact they are from analog sources. Yes, the raw image stored in the frame buffer is basically what the picture would look li...

Is your Games.xml file up to date? It should also be inside the Config folder.

By the way, this patent was filed in 1994 and granted in 1997 and is therefore probably exactly what found its way into the Pro-1000. They describe the polygon rasterization algorithm, including translucency in considerable detail. It's not exactly as you describe it but close: translucency is achi...
