Yeah, if you can get it going, vDos32 should be fast. It mostly doesn't emulate. It just runs the 32bit DOS code directly in Windows, and then interprets any DOS interrupts it runs into. On the other hand, it isn't much use for anything other than a few of the games supported by Glidos.

Oh. I think I created a new version that should activate, but pretty much vDos is dead: it requires operating-system features that don't exist in 64bit Windows. If you are running a 32bit OS, then you could try this version

Oops! I posted having read only the previous post and not the whole thread. It seems I solved the problem mentioned here some time a go, but didn't post about it in this thread. I'm pretty sure how it works now: if you select "Direct3D", "Inhibit mode change" and "Full Screen" then you'll get the …

Yes, that's the main advantage of TombATI. There's pretty much no way to make the DOS versions of Tomb Raider produce other than a 4x3 ratio image, and so the only two choices are stretching - which produces a short fat Lara - or have black bars at each side. I have fairly recently added support for …

Actually, I've just noticed it's a perfect square. I imagine what may be happening is that Glidos is trying to create a surface larger than is necessarily permitted under the DirectX9 API. Some drivers may allow it, others not. That's a guess, but a reasonable one. I can't remember if I pass errors …

The Audio pack works with only a particular version TOMB.EXE. Download and install this: http://download.glidos.net/TR1/TrAndUbForGlidos.exe, which provides the appropriate version. Then change the Glidos config to use that file. Don't alter the setting for the CD image.

Ah sorry, I see what you were asking now. kjliew is right: it's the lack of VDM (although I didn't get the "API pass-through into WIN32 DLL" bit). Still Extreme Assault runs silky smooth on my Windows 10 based machine under DOSBox, so I'm not sure what's causing your problems.

It seems to run very smoothly for me. You could try maybe posting images (use snipping tool) of each tab of your settings. I may be able to see something.

I just ran it under Windows 10. The problem may be the default config. Under the DOS tab, make sure you have DOSBox selected as the emulation and check "Enable Glidos'e VESA emulation.

I broke something in the last release, so I've just uploaded 1.55 with a fix. For most use, it's best to select psVoodoo, Full screen and Inhibit mode change. That will ignore the resolution you select and use the largest 4x3 subarea of the screen that fits. That was the mode I'd broken, but it now …

I added 3D monitor support to Glidos (via psVoodoo) some time ago, but haven't been able to take advantage of it since I swapped to 4K monitors for work. Recently though, I've acquired a VR headset, which can simulate a huge cinema-sized 3D screen. That along with the new high-res modes I've just …

I haven't had a machine running Windows 98 for years, so it's been impossible to test. A few suggestions though: Within the Adjust dialog, under the DOS tab, selection Windows for the Dos emulation, at least to get started. If you have a copy, try getting Tomb Raider working first. More people used …

Yes 256x256 is the maximum. The overriding of textures is done by Glidos, not the selected Glide wrapper, so it has to stay within Glide limits and 256x256 is a Glide limit.

Click Adjust. Select the DOS tab, and choose DOSBox rather than VDos32

Looks like that image may have been captured with a slight perspective transformation applied to it. Gimp has tools to alter things like that.

Yes, the tutorial is old. pngs are a much better option. Rather than trying to match the brown, you should use true transparency in the png. There are lots of new techniques, that developed over time, that aren't explained on that page, but all the information is here on Vogons in various threads. …

Oh yeah, it's been so long, I'd forgotten. It's a pain to not have "Inhibit mode change" and it's not supported by OpenGlide. psVoodoo, on the other hand, hasn't been updated to handle all that the various games need. Not sure what's going on with Redguard. I used to find it definitely playable. I …
