I tried dgVoodoo2 WIN32 Glide3x with QEMU x32 and it was the same. So that likely ruled out any 64-bit pointers discrepancies. Since the "rainbow" discoloration slowly faded and turn into good rendering, perhaps there is something to do with how MIPMAP works in the dgVoodoo2, if you had dependencies …

When I try to start VOODOO2.EXE I get 'The file Glide3x.dll cannot start. Check the file to determine the problem' error message. (The SDK samples with Glide2x work.) Also, I don't know if I need the DDraw passthrough layer for this game. Possible causes: 1. QEMU rejected guest wrapper request …

OK, the game ran fine on native with WIN32 version of Glide3x DLL. The game also worked fine with nGlide 64-bit Glide3x DLL on QEMU. so I doubted if the ball was on QEMU Glide passthrough. DOSBox SVN does not have Glide3x passthrough, so I can't check over there, but Ultim@te Race Pro showed exactly …

Yes, I am on Windows 10. Are you saying that dgVoodoo's Glide2x/3x in some cases will have dependencies on dgVoodoo's ddraw/d3dimm? But running native would also only use the WIN32 version of Glide2x/3x DLLs instead of WIN64 version from QEMU VMs.

I verified the issues that I reported were all fixed. Thanks. But now the game shows the same "rainbow" discoloring for distant texture mapping, similar to Ultim@te Race Pro that I reported earlier. Check the screenshot below, on the race ground and distant iconic Moscow building. Filename TD5.png …

Test Drive 5 Glide3x renderer is not working with dgVoodoo2. Using VOODOO2.EXE, the game started and going into "Graphics option" to select resolution crashed. If I went directly into "Single Race", then the race rendered into black screen. Audio could be heard and frame rate stats was available, so …

I don't have to do anything, both the full game and demo worked right away on Win98 VM. The full game is the Accolade USA 1999 release. The game uses Glide3x renderer or Direct3D, both worked at 60FPS on any PC/laptops from the last 7 years. If you have AMD CPUs, then you need to replace TD5_D3D.EXE …

The addon PCI Promise FastTrak controller must have its own ROM occupying upper memory region that prevents a contiguous 64KB EMS page frame. If you can't free up enough upper memory region, then there is nothing you can do about it. ... LIM 4.0 allows non contiguous 16K pages ... Almost all EMS- …

I already answered all your questions that I said it was my choice to decide. Go back read it again, will you? It is your choice to use dgVoodoo2 or nGlide as Glide wrappers, but you don't have to.

Rock Pi X with Atom x5-z8350. Run DOSBox and QEMU VM on Linux will give you a decent DOS/Window machine for retro games. ISA support isn't always necessary. Start at $59.99 for 2GB RAM/16GB storage, likely more expensive now due to chip shortage.

The rule of thumb is, if they can relocate, then load them last. If they cannot relocate, then load the one that requires large runtime memory first. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to tell how much runtime memory it really needs, so this is trial and error, or you can base on the actual file …

No, if you had Intel CPUs back then, Intel deliberately did this to differentiate price segment. The Celeron and Pentium did not get VT, only the Core. It had nothing to do with BIOS. Later, even certain Core models won't have VT. In the post-Nehalem era, some "K" unlocked CPUs also did not have VT. …
