Is there a way to limit what resolutions a game can have available ? I am playing Claw and it runs at 640x480. It has a cheat code to increase resolution, but I have to enter that cheat code several times until I get to a resolution I want. I would like to make the game think it only has 640x480 and …

Yes, it could be, I think. The idea about it is not to modify 'core dgVoodoo' but let open the door to hook it with external dll's instead. I can imagine an 'add-on', given in the config file, that hooks part of dgVoodoo through an internal interface. dgVoodoo could provide texture bitmaps (say, …

I have a weird problem with Escape From Monkey Island with version 2.55.4. When I force resolution to 1280x960 and set centered scaling the framerate drops down to 36. It's nothing game breaking, but it's weird. I have not noticed any shadow issues though, but I only just got to the second island. ( …

in my opinion, i think that the best way could be ThirtheenAG's method combined with dgvoodoo2 I know about ThirteenAG widescreen fixes, but never heard anything about a texture injector. Any links ? All I know is he did upload some texture packs, like for Splinter Cell, but those are just textures …

Many people are excited about the possibilities of using new AI algorithms to enhance textures in old computer games. The problem is most games have their files encrypted and people don't have access to the textures, so there is a great need for some kind of texture extractor/injector. I was …

It may sound like overkill, but you could use Reshade and write a shader that draws a black line on the edge. I used that when I played Machines, but for me the line was on top. Since I didn't know how to add new shaders to the program, I changed the existing Sepia.fx shader file, the changes to …

Nocturne 's intro works once you reactivate the VFW Intel indeo v5 codec. I don't recall whether the intro worked with dgVoodoo2, however. It's main problem is that the in-game menus lag a lot, natively or not. For some reason the menus didn't lag for me when I had DFX Audio Enhancer active. I use …

I activated and revamped my half-baked GDI hooking code in dgVoodoo and now movie playback is working in Panzer Dragon. I think all games using the AVI player lib should work but, it's a shame, I couldn't remember what games are suffering from this problem. You could try with Nocturne, it uses .avi …

I tried Starship Troopers (2005) demo, with DirectX 9 x86, because that game is known to have issues running on modern systems and I had to use WineD3D to play it. It seems to work perfectly, and I can also force AA and AF through dgVoodoo, which I couldn't do when using WineD3D, even through the …

With WIP57 there was a weird "grid" over the whole screen, but now there is none. x86 version has trouble on game launch, the game starts in …

Configure the game resolution as 640x480. The patch will take care of forcing it to run at you desktop resolution. Thanks for the quick reply. Now the save game photos are fine, but for screenshots the best I get is this using Fraps: https://i.imgur.com/dJTEeP2.png Would it be possible to change …

Just finished playing I Am Alive with your patch and wanted to thank you for making this. The game has the most extreme DOF I ever saw, and the film grain is made for 720p and runs at lower framerate and looks terrible, I used reshade to make a better film grain effect. All this nonsense of theirs …

I see ZellSF is posting a lot of games. Is there a compatibility list somewhere ? I played around 10 games with dgVoodoo 2 so far from start to finish, but I just post about it on PCGamingWiki pages if dgVoodoo fixes a game, or if it can improve it in some way(resolution, HUD scaling, etc).
