Rice Daedalus 5.1.0/5.1.0b
===================

1. What's new
- Fully optimization and major speed up.
In both DirectX and OpenGL.
Intel P3/P4 SSE instruction for 3D transformation and lighting
OpenGL is now running at speed close to DirectX. (Could be faster on your video card.)
Running at similar speed as other fastest plugins (if not faster)
- Tooltips in configuration dialog box, (Idea borrowed from Glide64)
Explaining all options and their usages.
- Bug fixes for the problems found in 5.0.0 and 5.0.1
- Improvement on DirectX TNT combiner, OpenGL 1.2/1.3/1.4 combiner, and OpenGL TNT combiner

You should know that:
This plugin is developed by using Geforce MX400 32MB video card on a P3 500MHz PC. Its DirectX combiner works the best on Nvidia TNT/TNT2/Geforce256/Geforce2/Geforce4 MX. Its DirectX high-end combiner should work fine with new video cards which support 4 or more combiner stages. (ATI Radeon, and others). It poorly supports Voodoo3/4, OK with Voodoo5. I haven't worked too much for other mid-end or low-end video cards (May be the next release).

The speed of this plugin is very good now. I can run more game at full speed in 1964 at 640x480 window mode, on my low speed computer and cheap GF2 video card. You should expect better performance on your better PC with better video card.
