Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Best HRTF effect at 7:22. Do NOT install v0.752, as it breaks HRTF support!

This is a demonstration of the RedneckGDX source port, which can be configured to use OpenAL Soft's HRTF. The release of this port was very unexpected, but it's really appreciated by the small, dedicated '90s FPS fanbase. Honestly, my opinion of Redneck Rampage has improved tremendously since the release of this port. With the smoother framerates, higher resolution with native widescreen scaling, and improved mouse input, I actually like it more than Shadow Warrior now. Strangely enough, I had to re-enable DirectSound output in order to get RedneckGDX to launch. It doesn't use WASAPI like the other ports, so make sure you switch DirectSound back off in alsoft-config.exe when you go to play a game with DSOAL.

The 3D positional audio is just as poor as in BloodGDX, but it's much more apparent with the much-higher quality .WAV files. You can actually tell which direction the ambient cricket sounds are now. It could still be better as Outlaws with DSOAL or GZDoom have proven, but it's still much better than plain stereo.

...you know, I'm starting to think the EDuke32/Ion Maiden developers might have catching up to do.
