Yes, http://dege.fw.hu/temp/dgVoodooWIP20_1.zip but changing D3D shaders a bit is the only change I did so far. +new info: testing Pandora Tomorrow through 10.0 output causes the shadows to disappear on my lowend GF 610. I still don't know if this a new 10.0 limitation revealed or just the driver …

Can you share the WIP with depth buffer bug fixed? 😁 I'm eager to test the SC (SC 1 to with shadowbuffermode is heavily affected).

I think it's a good thing to have a dedicated thread to SC1 and its erratic ShadowBufferMode shadow rendering. So Pandora's thread is properly to Pandora :D Using/forcing ProjectorMode is obviously a solution on today systems (to avoid shadow glitches) and it works well. It's why SC1 is on Steam ( …

Still unavailable and there's something wrong with the configurator 'cause I can select the Phong (if VGA is "unavailable")

As you can see in the screenshot I simply added the Unreal System folder path (where the exe is locaetd) -> "Unavailable" adapter. With general (generic?) profile the VGA is correctly found. I'll try launching as admin. Ok, thanks. I almost messed it up with some nVidia profiles . I'll check it out …

W-O-W, *helluva* :D new problem in Splinter Cell Versus (10.1 and 10.0 rendering path), on my Radeon 7850! Never ever seen before this release, so it' strictly related to new D3D8 changes. *With normal/night vision there's some serious FPS killing going on in open space, looking at distance (1.5 FPS …

Without creating a dedicated profile (see the problem), the emulation goes well on this old and very weak - for today standards :D - 9600M. Unreal Gold NaliCastle classic flyby runs @92 FPS vs 180 FPS ("Native Direct Draw" in a 1024x768 window to avoid VSync Windows 10 limitations), all details …

Some problem for me too. 9600M with Windows 10 (lastest drivers from NVidia/MS). The general profile "finds" the correct VGA but a dedicated profile doesn't 😐 host image

- No Phong shading available (tolerable, as it didn't prove to be very useful in practice + performance issues again, it's very computation-consuming) Why the option is still there (in the configurator)? :| I reply by myself :D The old 10.1 feature level is still there AND we got the 10.0 as an …

Maybe it's a good thing to reset ALL the options (deleting old config files, the general AND the ones in the game folders) due to the virtual device changes.

If you want a baseline testbed, I'm ready to test a 2009 D3D10 system (a good notebook with a Dual Core Proc@2.5 GHz + 4 GB RAM + GeFoce 9600M but with Windows10 😁) for the classic 1280x800 / 1024/768 resolutions.
