... What is it ...

 This is the port of Pangea's Software Cro-Mag Rally game to AmigaOS4 over
GL4ES.
 
 To have good perfomance and no visuall glitches, you should have as minimum:
 
 ogles2.library : >= 3.3
 Warp3DNova.library : >= 54.16
 RadeonHD >= 3.7 or RadeonRX >= 2.11

 Everything is part of Enhancer 2.2. If you are on anything less, you will have
all sorts of issues, bugs, crashes,
 and rendering glitches of all sorts. You are warned!
 
 Original source code and main page can be found at
https://github.com/jorio/CroMagRally
 

... How to run and how to play ...

 Just unpack and double-click on an icon. 
  
  
... Performance note ...

 Radeon RX users-BE SURE that you set Prefs: PowerManagment to HIGH! Automatic
PowerManagment in Radeon RX drivers does not raise
 resources to maximum when needed, and as a result, you will have low FPS in
most games if your powermanagment is set on optimal,
 or low, or so values. So you should set it to HIGH, save, reboot, and check
that it is set to HIGH before trying to run games. 
			
 !!! Failure to do so will result in a significant drop in FPS !!!
			
 Be also sure, that you did not run anything heavy in background (like Candy).
			
			
 To test that everything is working correctly, you can always download the
Irrlicht Engine from os4depot and test 02.Quake3Map example. 
 Results when you run this example and do nothing for a few seconds should be:
			
		-- X1000 and some middle RadeonRX like 560 ~220FPS or so.
		-- X5000 and some middle RadeonRX like 560 ~250FPS or so
		-- SAM460 is pretty much slower (just 35-40 FPS) in terms of 3D due to a)
disabled GART and b) broken cache coherency.

 If you have an x5000, make sure you have not one, but two RAM modules! Or your
memory read/write will be twice as slow, and you will
 lose FPS! See the dedicated thread here

... ChangeLog ...


 v3.0.0.02 (03.10.2022):
 
 -- added gamepads support
 -- fixed non-working gamepad in menu

 v3.0.0.01 (first amigaos4 release):
 
 -- used gcc 11.3.0, latest GL4ES, latest SDL2
 -- stack cookie of 1mb to avoid possible crashes on running
 -- fixed amiga paths , so we use PROGDIR: to save/get game's data
 -- big endian fixes (done by author of the code Jorio)
 -- small fixes in GL4ES and SDL2 which arise during porting of those games
