Hope you can make it and it's possible. Making CGL to run on other 3d cards is awesome would be.

There is dilemma small size or fast performance. FastDoom about performance. Lookup tables takes some size, you can drop them, but performance will be much slower since this will be task for cpu to calculate the values. It's much better to have all the values precalculated in lookup table. It's like …

Hmm it is possible to fake the game to 'think' it can load all mips, while at wrapper side mips got loaded until buffer filled, and then next mips will not be stored, but mimics that it uploaded and stored.

Setup it before entering to the game. Ctrl+F1 invokes dosbox settings, since it's not speedy3d mode, it can work in background while you see in game frame. If you want use ctrl+F1 as in game key? Use different keys for now, maybe it will be fixed to enable those keys too, by having option to disable …

Maybe it's possible to disable mipmaps in honor of more free vmem? Or maybe you can make TREdit in auto detection mode, like put in Icr2 folder run and it will scan files that need to be shrinked. Or even more best way, full automatic-it runs before game launch every time. Just my ideas, troughs.

I really hope so, anyway hope Tasmania 3d games would be preserved. Since this can become lost media, and in future no enthusiasts can emulate it like on MAME or PCEM or 86BOX, will be lost forever, and this is realy very very sad. Hope vetz can see it on that perspective view. Please for the name …
