There's also lots of fun to try with the wrappers that ship with Crime Cities. It has an OpenGL-to-Direct3D wrapper, an OpenGL-to-S3D wrapper, an OpenGL-to-MSI wrapper, an OpenGL-to-SGL wrapper, and also, it has an OpenGL-to-Glide wrapper...all wrappers written by Techland themselves. They also are …

9200 will run on Win98. The last Radeon that does run in Win98 is 9800 PRO iirc. But the thing is, Radeons are a bit lacking in legacy features (no table fog is a big one), even the older Radeons including 7200 lack that stuff.

Well, it obviously can't be capture software for Windows 98SE as the lack of multithreading will always give you a slow recording and the last Fraps for Win9x has a 30fps cap and doesn't do sound. Your best bet for quality and performance is VGA capture, which is going to be expensive. VGA2USB comes …

Okay. One of the last "quality" games to support the PowerVR SGL api is Metal Fatigue Some good Direct3D games have tweaks for the card when detected, like Wipeout XL/2097 and Midtown Madness (which is unusual for a 1999 game!) - but this is few and far between. Most cases you'll just see unblended …

However. That only will work, if the host is 32-bit, which is a minority now, so you can not just give this advice to anyone 2 years later. Regards.

For my own study i've screenshotted a Quake2 scene on a Voodoo2 then on a Rage, then in software mode. Kinda fun to layer them over each other in a program and fading in and out to see the (already well known) visual differences. The Voodoo2 screenshot represents the common way Quake2 was seen …

Criterion had a part in Creep Clash/Sento for providing the 3d tech, so that's probably really proto RenderWare too.

There's also another game, Moon Racer, which also makes use of the PowerVR SGL shadow capability for cheesy stencil headlights (similar to Ultim@te Race). I think that's japan only too

Having a Matrox M3D in a fast machine like a Pentium IV can make a good GPU bottleneck for a few 'too fast' games. Since you're using a Geforce4, you might want to untick that "Use Matrox m3d Hardware" checkbox. That checkbox turns on the Direct3D HAL override which nvidia cards will freak out about …

Your justification for piracy has nothing to do with a hardware bug in the Diablo II code, and your "magical pirate version" would not help either. Try reading the thread and its posts and you won't ever bring up 'hurr durr warez is better cos company dont stop you from playin your gamez'

Kinda hard to forsee Windows 98 being able to have so much space developing in the age when 40gb is pretty spacious.

I've noticed the SB Awe32 emulation makes PCem exit on startup. Is it a commit error or is it just rudimentary at this point?
