In no way. The only thing I can imagine is that the game queries the amount of free video mem via DirectDraw then switches to D3D9. (Free vidmem cannot be queried through D3D9 and higher because this term makes no sense in fact, especially with virtualized video memory appearing in Vista.) That …

It's possible that something else is the issue since I can't even get SotE (CD audio fixed version) to run through dgVoodoo at the moment although I swear it was working a few days ago. Another game that has the same problem that I tried testing is Virtua Fighter 2, but that just seems to crash when …

So that's why I heard complaints from others using Win8. I was made sure that there is no significant difference between Win7 and 8 in the respect of the graphics drivers and architecture but I'm changing my standpoint. Dege, here's a ddraw generic fix for Windows 8 and Windows 8.1: http://www. …

well the message you posted has unfortunate nothing to do with your problem. It's indeed a bit odd that it messes up in vdmsound as well. That would indicate either a very obscure feature (not present in current vga cards anymore) or a game that is broken by itself. I've now tried the game on an …

The old game "The Lawnmower Man" seems to have an odd problem. At various points throughout the game (such as the game over screen) the pallete changes to a totally garish and presumably incorrect one. At the same time as this occurs the debugger says this: INT10:Set Video Mode 13 MOUSE:Unhandled …
