NuBuildGDX	Fork of BuildGDX aiming for stability, bug fixing and performance improvements.

ERampage32	First attempt to port a game to EDuke32. Unfinished and not recommended.

All ports are open source and will require you to own the game.

Make CD music work with BuildGDX

For Steam version^{[citation needed]}

Download missing content from here.
Extract it into the Steam game folder.
Run the game from Steam.

Notes

Adds missing Route 66 addon, CD music and allows you to run BuildGDX port from Steam.

For GOG.com version^{[citation needed]}
Download CueToOgg. Extract it to the game folder and run `CueToOgg.exe` Copy `track02.ogg` - `track09.ogg` from the newly created `REDNECK` folder to the game folder.

DOSBox

Run in DOSBox

Improve DOSBox performance^{[citation needed]}
Make the following changes to the DOSBox configuration file. Change `output=surface` to `output=openglnb`. Change `memsize=16` to `memsize=64`. Change `core=normal` to `core=dynamic`. Change `cycles=auto` to `cycles=max`. Change `aspect=false` to `aspect=true`. Change `fullresolution=original` to `fullresolution=0x0`.

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.
