Ok, i tested all Dos 3dfx games, which i could to easy others i dont have or their setup is annoying (Lands Of Lore 2), or i dont want to play them. It would make sense test other not 3dfx games, because so far no good? Is there any idea why games like Doom or Golden Axe are too slow? Regardless of …

Gulikoza's Glide pass-through has always been working for me on DOSBox SVN with Win98SE, I am pretty sure about it. Yes, it requires special stub Glide2x OVL and DLL made for pass-through, and their source codes are available. DOSBox ECE adapted my 2-in-1 patch for both Glide pass-through and Voodoo …

I don't know if you want to do it this way: you can add a patch to add the Makefile and use it to build just the DLL. I was thinking of doing that for pacman package reuse, but never actually did it.

I built standalone mt32emu.dll for MSYS2/Mingw-w64 and my DOSBox SVN uses it. I did not use cmake. I write my own GNU Makefile just for building the DLL and its supporting lib.a and lib.dll.a for static/dynamic linking.

kjliew: I think Rob was referring to the speed of the hardware Voodoo emulation in DOSBox-X 0.83.9. Since you appear to be familiar with the code, do you know what may be the cause of the performance issue of the hardware Voodoo emulation? I certainly appreciate any suggestions. I didn't look at …

Or, just look at the game installation media. The bundled version of DirectX runtime redist gives the clue of the version of Direct3D the game would use.

Voodoo running so slow for me in Windows 95. Hardware Voodoo emulation is indeed slow. Glide pass-through mode is much faster, but does not work in combination with Win9x. Let me straight out the mis-information. Hardware Voodoo emulation as in DOSBox kekko's Voodoo chip emulation is *NOT* slow. …

GCC vs clang? I can confirm that " " exists on mingw-w64 GCC 10.2. Perhaps you could check out whatever latest GCC available from the homebrew. Or, you could remove the line "#include " or simply touch a dummy "features.h" in the compiler's header files search path to see if anyone really use it. …

You can check out WINE source code for ddraw. There are several version of virtual function tables when the caller instantiates a Direct3D device. That will tell you the version of Direct3D.

The deprecated MacOS OpenGL was stuck at OpenGL 2.1. OpenGlide is mostly OpenGL 1.1 + a few optional extensions if they are available. MacGLide is the fork of OpenGlide for past MacOS. I am not sure if it still works today on MacOS.

I see all this talk about PCem. But wasn't PCem's main strength emulation accuracy, and not so much CPU efficiency? I other words: behaviour and performance almost exactly as the target machine being emulated, if the host system is beefy enough? You're absolutely right, and I sincerely hope PCem do …
