Nope. The version from the archive I was passed at least initialises Glide and opens a window, but then there's nothing. I was hoping that the log from the Glidos start up window would show something odd, but no.

Given how unlocking works, it's fairly unlikely that it is the cause. Try to find something else that has changed. If nothing else works, it may be worth uninstalling everything and starting from scratch.

That's a thought. Also, https://download.glidos.net has all versions from 1.32 onwards.

The Win 9x instructions are back now. I can't guarantee they will help, but worth a go. Later versions of Glidos weren't tested on 98.

I don't know much about D-Fend, but the usual way to use Glidos is to use the Adjust button to get into the config menu and from there set up the path to Screamer 2's exe and the disc image. Then you can start Screamer 2 from Glidos.

Using D-Fend could be the problem. Glidos is supplied with an altered version of DOSBox and needs to use that.

I can easily allocate you more unlocks. Just send me a private message with the email address you use to log in.

I've had a go at getting it to work, but no luck. With the steam version, the directory layout is very strange: there is no DOS4GW exe at the top level and then there's about ten subdirectories each with its own exe. I tried running each one through Glidos, and some started under DOSBox, but didn't …

Difficult to imagine what would cause the exact behaviour that you describe. Are you selecting all four lines of the unlock code?

You should be able to try that out yourself. All the tricks specific to certain games are configurable. Just create a new configuration and set the options the same as for Blood. Blood uses two of the features under the heading of "Fiddles", one being "Blood fix" and the other "Texture cache for …

I'm not fully understanding the issue. Does installing ntvdm64 prevent Glidos working in DOSBox mode? Or is it that you want to use ntvdm64 in place of DOSBox? The latter might not be worth the trouble: supposedly, ntvdm64 isn't any faster than DOSBox.

I'll post some instructions when I get a chance. The script alone doesn't do the whole job. You also need to use GenEquivMap to set things up.

The script, which is here http://download.glidos.net/TexConvert/, uses calls to ImageMagick commands to modify parts of the large squares. I'm not sure why what you have tried didn't work. Perhaps the new version of the file ended up in a different format. I think your best bet is to just test with …
