Apparently, MESA FX also looks for PIXEXT and COMBINE to provide support for certain OpenGL extensions. So with Napalm extensions, perhaps we can have better OpenGL compliance (up to 1.3) through MESA FX for QEMU for OpenGL games in the DirectX7~8 era. BTW, when selecting "other_greater" …

I got your point. I can see 3Dfx OpenGL ICD 734 (voodoo3+) is looking for PIXEXT and I just added all the Glide3x extensions support for QEMU Glide pass-through, but not SURFACE and GET_REGISTRY. I would like to see if I can use the OpenGL ICD to check out PIXEXT (grSstWinOpenExt) if the existing …

Hi Dege, Napalm build is only available as 32-bit DLL. Is it possible to recompile it for 64-bit DLL, too?

Utilizing real hardware from virtualized/emulation environment is not an easy feat, unless the underlying hardware generate no interrupts or DMA operations, which isn't the case for video cards. Several technologies have been available, such as SR-IOV, IOMMU, EPT etc. to assist software to do so for …

Or, get the Linux version of Shogo MAD from Hyperion Entertainment. It has OpenGL renderer and runs superb on native modern Linux. The FPS almost always locked at VSYNC. If VSYNC is OFF, then it becomes too fast to play. Even widescreen resolutions work. It also plays on QEMU KVM extremely well with …

You need to hunt down official MS patches for Win98SE to support >32GB of partition with FAT32. I have been able to format single partition of 80GB and 160GB on systems that support LBA48.

Why not, if the game was looking for GLIDE2X.OVL? The OVL is for DOS games, unless the games have static linked OVL, very few have one. Since you had mentioned only Tomb Raider 1, that game has 2 version of patches, one called 3Dfx patch which has static linked OVL and another called the Voodoo Rush …

I guess you probably had remnant of Glide DLL/OVL from Voodoo3 that you didn't clean up properly before installing Voodoo1. The Voodoo1 simply landed on the wrong DLL/OVL and crashed hard.

The first 3d Accelerator that Quake supported was Rendition Verite via VQuake. It doesnt even require Windows like GLQuake. It's not like most of the other big games didnt get patched with some support for other cards, it's just 3dfx did it best. In fact, Rendition Verite had a good head-start on …

I don't find any usefulness of such list other than making 3Dfx bashers look bad of their poor propriety 3D APIs support. The 3D games list of propriety 3D APIs here explicitly excluded 3Dfx Glide, otherwise the list would be so long that put the rest of the players in shame. :lol: In fact, early …

DJGPP is a purist DPMI 1.0 implementation. It does not have protected-mode extension for DOS INT21h or any BIOS INTxx services. If one needs any of those, then one will have to implement real-mode INTxx calls the *DPMI* way, which kind of sucks... It is really meant for porting Linux codes to DOS, …

1) CDROM support is something that still needs to be done. Currently you can mount a directory/folder as a drive in Wine with this command line, -mount_drive "c:\my games" d AFAICR, this does not quite work out for Win32, unless you did the spoofing of GetDriveTypeA to fake a drive as CD-ROM in …

As I understand it: Boxedwine can only be like an easier to use DOSBox, as it uses emulated CPU like DOSBox. Based on the published results on Quake2 and Quake3, they are quite comparable to KVM/WHPX accelerated Win98SE guest on QEMU. The only difference I can see is Boxedwine use OpenGL pass- …
