[QUOTE]Okay guys , Some pretty exciting stuff happing here.
Sonic X-treme's Version 037 engine has been painstakingly ported to Modern Windows and Open GL by JollyRoger, from Windows 95 and also required the NV1 Graphic's card hardware.. ( Nvidia's first public GPU) [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_[/url]...
And Guess what ?! This port of X-treme is out there right now! Ready for "YOU" to download and enjoy!
However this is a single level release. We would also like you to know that this is an almost as is port of the engine (Almost as how the original developers had left it, A snapshot in time "if you will".
Jolly had to Massage much of the code back into place to restore functionality since some code had been commented out due to being in mid engine re-wright by STI or POV.
Regrettably I can not post any links here directly. May the hunt begin ! (Hint try Assemblergames.com or Sonicretro.org forums)

[QUOTE]*The game ran on the NV1 GPU by Nvidia, supported true Quad polygons (Like Sega Saturn) instead of quads made up of 2 triangles.
*Currently the port lacks true quad polygon rendering, *check out the sides of slopes where the textures look distorted*
Future releases may or may not incorporate true quad like rendering to fix the issue.
*The level data file itself had to be edited to improve physics to the point of playability, As well as remove ring collisions so the level could be explored properly. ( rings would push sonic off ledges if he walked near them)
*The Bouncing ball effect when sonic Lands can be disabled. Which allows for better playability, but in this case it was kept to better match the E3 Videos. [/QUOTE]

Yeah me too. I am not really digging the weird semi fish-eye lens perspective and it looks like it wouldn't control well.
