-------------- GL-Excess v1.0 www.glexcess.com -------------- by Paolo "Bustard" Martella: bustard@glexcess.com ********************************************************** ******************** IMPORTANT NOTICE ******************** ********************************************************** Warning: GL-Excess has been developed and tested on nVidia -------- video cards only. I have no idea of how it runs (if it ever does...) on other video boards. nVidia owners: For best visual quality please select "Use -------------- block transfer" as "Buffer flipping mode" in your OpenGL Settings. This will prevent your screen from flickering on some scenes. ********************************************************** ********************************************************** ********************************************************** System Requirements: -------------------- - Pentium II or higher (Pentium III recommended) processor - 64 MB RAM - Any video card FULLY (when I say FULLY I mean no Matrox cards please...) supporting OpenGL acceleration - Sound Blaster 16 or compatible audio card (SBLive! with 4 point speakers recommended) - 40 MBytes of free hard disk space Video Tweaks: ------------- - Run GL Excess Configuration program to set desired brightness and thus improve color matching - For best visual quality please enable VSYNC, disable it to increase performance - nVidia owners please read IMPORTNT NOTICE above Bug Report: ----------- - Please report any bug at the following email address: bustard@glexcess.com Disclaimer: ----------- THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AS IS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED.
