I don't know of a dgv fix, but you can use elishacloud's dxwrapper: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/discussions/109 That said, hardware mode won't make the game look better on modern computers. It was needed to make the game run better on slow CPUs back in the day. It's mostly 2D sprites. …

The problem with add accelerated effect in software mode, was cpu power. The arrival of 3d cards was due to the lack of power of cpu versus 3d cards like voodoo. allow POD 3dfx mode (30 fps on pentium 90 with voodoo 1) in software mode, a cpu at maybe 1ghz would be needed. At the release of pod, the …

W10 simply blocks those old copy protections. Never heard of them messing up W10 so badly that you have to wipe and reinstall. OP must have gotten confused or broke something else in the process of trying to install the game. Anyway, I believe F22 Lightning 3 will work, as do most Novalogic Windows …

Re: dgVoodoo2 for Windows Vista?
Posted on 2022-12-17, 19:22
Does dgVoodoo2 support Windows Vista, specifically 64-bit? I can't find any clear documentation on why Vista wouldn't be supported, but 7 is. What's the difference between the two that would prevent dgVoodoo2 working? I'm trying to get Direct3D 8 games such as Splinter Cell working on Windows Vista …

Just adding to this topic, has anyone tried LoL2 Win95 D3D edition with DGVoodoo2? It seems to crash, but works fine using DXwnd and also works in native Windows 11. It's one of the few old D3D games I've played that works better without any wrappers/DLLs, for a 1998 game I find that crazy. This is …

Finally I could check this out (altough I used my old DosBox Ykhwong build). The cursor flashing occurs because the game kinda 'emulates' the hardware cursor and draws it directly into the front (visible) buffer. Even with built-in Glide emulation I get some flashing. For the framerate problem, an …

In the early 90's most games were not speed sensitive, but those that were generally expected 386 class performance. A Pentium 1 is roughly similar to a 386DX33 with L1 cache disable. actually there's more speed sensitive DOS games than people think, even past the early 90s and including major …
