I thought tile-based architecture died out after Kyro IIs. Now, I am no longer sure about that, but the links definitely are dead. Did anyone check them recently? (I know this sounds like mocking but it really isn't.)

MBX proves that tile based rendering is no were near died. Check up and do a few searches on MBX, the number of licenses obtained are quite a few and by alot of the top players

Since it appears there are a lot of people knowledgable about KYRO/PowerVR drivers here, I thought I'd drop this question.

I have a Hercules 4000XT 64mb PCI card on an old system, an AMD K6 III+ 450 on an ASUS SP-97V motherboard. It will not go into Standby mode, which appears to be a problem with the Hercules drivers (16.055 - the most up-to-date available from Hercules).

I have tried upgrading the drivers to the PowerVR ones for the past year or so, and it always does the same thing. The drivers appear to install OK, but after the system reboots for the changes to take effect, it gets locked into a loop where it boots almost all the way into Windows/XP, then reboots itself over and over, never getting to the Windows Desktop.

Does anyone know why this is happening, or better yet, how to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hmm.... i had 2 Asus SP-97's.... frankly, i had similare rare instances of it locking up when attempting to upgrade to a newer drives for my 7000 PCI card....

Now i'm not completely sure what was causing it, but i think it was related to my total system member being MAXED out. (apparently the board is unstable somewhat).... now i'm not sure yet, but i think with additional updates to windows, and more effiecent memory allocating built into the drivers, i can only say it's some kind of new feature making the Asus board unhappy.

Have you attempted to try the card in another machine? Only suggestion i could make....

and those hercules drivers crap by the sounds of how good the latest version is...

If I remember it well, you have to remove the PMX.*nn* files in windows, & the PVR registry settings with regedit + the appropriet hercules OEM.inf file right after uninstalling the herculesDrivers(version 2 drivers are vastly diff. then the 1.* serie and more stable, after restart do not use the HW-wizard on W2K or XP, but manuall installl by clicking the PVR drivers setup.exe

Still miss those easy specific game settings with the PVR drivers

Wow, thanks for the quick replies. Do you know of a guide for all the registry hacking that needs to be done to get the PVR drivers to work in Windows/XP?

Think I found instructions here:

Thanks again.

And i do as well miss the superior Profiling
