It could be better for the audience if you could add Wine version (vanilla vs staging) to the post, too, for those who wish to recreate your results. Yes, the goal is comparing "Host vs Guest" and the result is really great. Thanks! 👍

@mr.cat That's a great result. It is probably limited by the old generation of Intel HD iGPU without the support of iris Gallium3D driver. I am a great fan of mobile iGPU. It pained me so much in the past when Intel filled this segment with craps. AMD marketing was at complete failure even though …

I would rather call it as "knowledge sharing". Only those who felt "... rubbing something to one's face ..." will take it as a form of advertisement. No one ever needs to pay anyone for it, but again it is just as benchmark comparison.

QEMU TCG running DOS PCPBENCH does not need any customized build. Anyone can just download QEMU from anywhere for one's native OS, including macOS on M1.

Would be interesting to see if you could do the same with game Pył :) How the game compares to emulation :) You're just luring him into desperation how the time, efforts and $$$ spent into acquiring the piece of dreamed hardware were just trashed, if one just wanted to play games. ;) But this is …

Matrox G400 supports AGP4X with sideband addressing. It is a full AGP specification implementation. It has better AGP tolerance than G200 and usually works well with non-Intel chipsets AGP implementation at reduced speed. G200 will had a hard time getting AGP2X speed with non-Intel chipsets. However …

Yeah, it is a great game. With modern virtualization, the performance of playing the game on VM on modern system (incl. laptops) simply outclass anything that is less than GeForce 6600 GPUs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3hm9bPOM84 You can also get 3rd-party OpenGL 3rash driver if that will work …

Ok I've tried everything I could under win98, but the game does not work. Best I could get was at initial menu but with no characters and no clickable buttons (that was using verokster's patch). If you were running the game under Win98, then no 3rd-party patch was ever needed. Perhaps using such …

The challenge is to provide comparison between Host and Guest with the same game/benchmark, different native builds of the same game/benchmark are fine, if they are available. Or, run it with Wine on Linux host. All kinds of virtualization on any machines (desktops, laptops or servers in the attic/ …

PCem is *hopeless* on any mobile CPUs the way it was designed. Apple has great products, but even M1X won't bring the magics for PCem. Even without Apple HVF acceleration, you are better off with QEMU TCG and some form of 3D acceleration. At least, some games may still be playable, such as CS 1.6 …

Splitting mipmap levels to 2 TMUs is only for achieving trilinear filtering, and I don't think that too many games messed with that back in the days when only Voodoo2 had 2 TMUs. Probably none of the DOS Glide games and that's why it didn't turn out through DosBox. If it's a problem there at all, I …

Yes, your theory is right and it fixes both TD5 and Ultim@te Race Pro. It amazed me that no one had actually caught this even for DOSBox. It seems that not many Glide games really know how to use both TMUs. So my next question, how about the guTexDownloadMipMap()? This one dgVoodoo2 would allocate …

Yes, it's suspicious for me too. Looking at the log, the game splits mipmaps between TMU0 and 1. There are grTexDownloadMipmap calls with evenOdd==GR_MIPMAPLEVELMASK_EVEN and evenOdd==GR_MIPMAPLEVELMASK_ODD. You call grTexTextureMemRequired before them to calc the size of texture data to copy, but …

Apparently, both OpenGlide and psVoodoo have mipmaps disabled as default. Even when mipmaps was enabled, there was no corruption in Ultim@te Race Pro, but they could just be using OpenGL/Direct3D auto mipmaps generation from level 0 instead of the level n mipmaps really being downloaded through …

Bingo :thumbup: You're right! "DisableMipmapping = true" in "[Glide]" fixed the issue in TD5. Now, Dege can look into why MipMapping failed, or nGlide simply had MipMapping disabled ?!! Spoke too soon :(, it didn't fix Ultim@te Race Pro and I tested with both DOSBox SVN and QEMU. With " …
