Patches

A speed fix for Suckin' Grits on Route 66 can be found here.
Patches that add GRP support to Rampage's build tools can be found here for the base game, and here for rides again.

bMouse

bMouse is a DOS extension which improves mouse looking by removing the mouse filter which causes issues related to both axis not updating properly.
bMouse will cause the vertical aiming to be inverted. To fix this, go to the Setup Advanced Control Options from Control Setup, then at Advanced Mouse Setup change the Mouse Y Scale to negative number.

DOS32A

DOS32A is a more advanced extender and open source replacement to DOS4GW. It can improve both performance and stability of Redneck Rampage.
