Super mysterious pseudo-vsync fps locks, are either windows randomly deciding to do some half-assed swap effect upgrade, or somebody having forgot what windowed g-sync entails.
Re: NATIVE DOS on Haswell computer: keyboard and graphics problems. So near, yet so far!!
Posted on 2023-08-26, 17:26
I'd wonder how FreeDOS is doing with it if any? Or any of the USB drivers perhaps? Then putting aside the many possible UEFI voodoo "hopeful workarounds", did you try to tinker with XHCI pre-boot mode, XHCI Hand-off or Port 60/64 Emulation options in its settings? (I mean, idk about your potato pc, …

The opposite if any would have be a driver thing though, as opposed to a Windows knob. Anyway AFAIU all Intel gpus should be now "native".

Cool, though for the time being you'd have to compile it yourself to try. Microsoft really takes it easy to ship updates, and even with the latest patched W10 22H2 (not sure if insider on W11 couldn't be luckier?) I'm still stuck to several-months-old 10.0.19041.2193 d3d9on12.dll.

WGL and GDI are pretty closely connected (if it isn't even that the former depends altogether on the later) . Of course anything opengl related would load it (well for the moment at least, I could lowbrow see nvidia's recent DXGI presentation further evolving to spare us it). As for EmulateOpenGL it …
Re: Old GOG games are slowly getting killed

I wouldn't expect Microsoft to care about the problem based on reports from gamers. They care if some enterprise software breaks, which might be the case if a compatibility mode is broken. Honestly enough, I don't think they are much all that useful to businesses either (unless you are literally …

To know which "actual final rendering" the DgVoodoo window has, you can use PresentMon you know.

A nice new trick with bilinear filtering that I have seen btw.

To normal users: dsoal and openal-soft are ripe nowadays. Please go out and test them. Be the change you want to see in the world. To devs and reverse engineers: do you happen to know if the Creative drivers ever implemented some kind of game-specific hacks (e.g. like those GPUs regularly ship)? …

OP is in no way responsible for the graphical capabilities of D3D9On12 . His library is just a hundred lines of code to force that. I guess an advantage is that it's all open source? Somewhat like dxup , except this is actually still getting developed. I cannot vouch for features then, but at least …

AFAIK all starforce flavours run in ring 0. If any there are different versions that are more or less finicky, and more or less aware of the internals of newer windows. Then, I haven't tested it myself, but from chaos theory to trackmania nations people looked good to me (even though I wasn't …

SF poses a special challenge to Wine too, because there just isn't any way to imitate a ring0 driver in Wine. Iow, these titles won't work at all. So I guess Safedisc is a problem too? Both of those drivers work in wine, which is supposed to handle "ring 0" too. People mix up the actual limitation …

I don't think WDDM has anything to do with anything. If any it can just happen that older drivers are unlucky with forward compatibility. The problem here is probably that the GMA3600 is in fact a rebranded SGX545, which is in turn has the most vile driver that has ever seen the x86 world.

That doesn't look like anything related to audio And as already said plenty of times, just try openal-soft and/or dsoal in 2022.
