Hi!
If you have an AMD-System, it's neccassary to install the 3DfxForceFeedback-Patch for pod after you've installes the patch for 3Dfx...
Here is an good description: http://home.t-online.de/home/hbredel/POD/POD-English/pod-english.html
Just overread the parts with the wrapper!

That leads me to a problem i have with pod: Is it possible to play pod in a higher resolution than 640x480 under glide?

Yes, changing the Ubi.ini file

@nightbird
thx, i found the ini-file. But what do i hav to do now? I mean there it doesn't seem to be very obvious! There is no line with: resolution: 640x480 ....

you do that at your own risk (i didn't try it myself)

- You MUST have either POD Gold or POD patched with the 24 MB 3Dfx patch.
- Find your UBI.INI file and MAKE A COPY OF IT.
- Open the UBI.INI file in NotePad.
- With each line shown below, first look for it in the UBI.INI file and if you find it, change the value to match.  If you don't find the line, then add it, typing it exactly as shown :

Under the [SYSTEM] heading, set the line MMX=1 if you have a Pentium MMX or Pentium II CPU.
Then, under the [POD2_0] heading, set the following lines :
SizeView=0
DisplayMode=6
ModeCameraSingle=6
BkGround=1
- Close the file and be sure to save the changes you just made.
- Now run POD.  All the menus will still be in 640x480, but if it worked, when you start a race, you will see POD in 800x600.  If POD is totally messed up, all you need to do is restore the copy of the UBI.INI file you did and everything should be back to normal.
