Need help from the guys that have done the Radeon LE Hype-Z hack.

[JackBurton]

OK guys, I've got a friend with a Radeon LE and running under Windows ME. In his registry, the string related to the Radeon looks like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATI Technologies\Driver\0002

And in the 0002 folder, it just has {default}.

Now this is the registry hack that I have:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATI Technologies\Driver\0000\atidxhal]
"DisableHierarchicalZ"="0"
"EnableWaitUntilIdxTriList2"="1"
"DisableHyperZ"="0"
"FastZClearEnabled"="1"
"Vsync"="0"
"AntiAlias"="0"
"ZFormats"="3"
"ExportCompressedTex"="1"

Do I mod the registry hack to looks like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\ATI Technologies\Driver\0002\atidxhal]
"DisableHierarchicalZ"="0"
"EnableWaitUntilIdxTriList2"="1"
"DisableHyperZ"="0"
"FastZClearEnabled"="1"
"Vsync"="0"
"AntiAlias"="0"
"ZFormats"="3"
"ExportCompressedTex"="1"


Or do I leave it in the original form?

No, I doubt it. The registry hack should only be FastZClearEnable = 1 , Disable HyperZ and HierarchicalZ = 0 which you have done already.

The 0000 numbers depends on the numbers of ATI cards you have installed in the system. As long as you can find the atidxhal in 0000, it should be all right. You only go the other 000# if the atidxhal is not in 0000.

For more info or to verify check out the Anandtech review on it Link

See that is the thing, it doesn't even have a atidxhal key. It goes driver\0002, then within the 0002 key there is only a {default} setting key in it. What is up with that?

Screw it man. Go to rage3d.com and just get a tweaker program, it'll do all the work for you, plus let you overclock, and set up other entries you wouldn't know about.

The top 1 is ok/ but ZFormats should be 15, and you shouldn't have another 0002 or 0001, There should only be 1 listing.

 

[JackBurton]

Cool, thanks Shudder.

And Big Lar, there is no 0000 or 0001 entry, just 0002. Weird! I'm going to do a few things here and I'll let you guys know how it turned out.
