Why

"Renacida" is Spanish for reborn

I'm Ed, and RenacidaMods is where I get old PC games running beautifully on today's machines: smooth frame rates at 4K, fixes, and the original feel kept intact. Every number on the mods site says what it was measured on and when.

The games

Out now, and in progress

Released

Magic Carpet 2: The Netherworlds

Bullfrog, 1995. The RenacidaMods edition of Magic Carpet 2 HD runs at 85 to 120 fps at 4K (24 before), with the game at its normal speed, round sprites, a faster display mode and crash fixes. A small add-on (2.7 MB) for Magic Carpet 2 HD.

How to play it today, with the measured results

In progress

Fatal Racing (Whiplash)

Gremlin, 1995. The ROLLER fan rebuild already brings 4K, widescreen and high frame rates. The RenacidaMods improvements, FAT3D, are being worked on.
