Myth The Fallen Lords (Verite detected and selected, game switches over to glide rendering for some weird reason. WIll crash if no glide wrapper present). Myth TFL starts out with a parameter indicating render set to 2 (rredline). Just before initializing rendering this becomes it becomes 1 (3dfx) …

Tell me the switch for Rendition. and RReady is working! Well something is odd in the graphics. The game has problem unloading OpenGL mode for RRedline. The black space should have ingame instructions. The HUD and text are slanted when the game characters talk. I had the game on 1.2, patched it to …

Alright then the only thing left is to check Myth TFL, and you to finish Team Apache. So another Windows graphics API is on its way to be successfully completed. (next I would like to see is S3D API, but there's no news on it. At least SGL is being worked upon) Myth TFL starts out with a parameter …

The games I haven't tested are MDK, Sub Culture, MTM2, F1, Myth TFL. You are quite sure with most of these, so they should work fine too for me. Was F1 the only RRedline 1.0 game ever released? Also, did you put the single thread restriction for games other than Team Apache too? I was wondering if …

At least under DxWnd, his "black screen" issue doesn't happen. I am on v1.0. In fullscreen, I get same stretched game as Interstate 76. Update: I fixed both of Heavy Gear and Interstate 76's skewed enlarged rendering. How'd you manage that? DxWnd or soemthing else? DxWnd Update: Upscaled I76 and …

Nvidia GTX 1060. Tested Heavy Gear 1 full version (1.0 and 1.1). There are texture glitches which stop once you get closer (doesn't happen with the other renderers). After every mission, the menu screen is black and you can't continue (not the wrapper's fault per se, since this and other issues …

I tried Die by the Sword today. I needed DxWnd to get over the (usual crashes sporadically fixed by Win95 FTH or something), and then the game worked somewhat fine by limiting the FPS to 60 (the menu runs at a lower FPS though) and blitting on the thread asychronously. I recall, in 2020 in testing, …

I never had to use EmulateDirectDrawSync myself. There could be some apps that pre-applied it. That's all that probably needed it. DxWnd did half the work of the shims so maybe they were needed but I never saw. EmulateGetCommandLine shim shouldn't generally be required. It was needed in Dungeon …

I checked your MechWarrior 2 video. It is Mercenaries, andit gives the same problem. You missed a step I said. First you'll need to run the game on Direct3D. Then exit the mission and then launch on RRedline. That's when you'll get the flickering issue (copyback=0) Could you tell Gho that if an app …

You can disable Win98 compatibility for vHexen II from Rendition settings. In the lower section you can set it to current windows.

It is a well behaved game. SW, OGL and 3Dfx MiniGL runs well. Redline doesn't do like that Anyways I would need the next instructions (till then I am trying to make Grand Prix Legends work, it crashes)... No I mean it's well behaved with RReady. What's in the log file? If you chuck those two files …
