Oh it's one of these few games who won't try to work if the VRAM reported is too low for the display resolution. That's what I did wrong, not being able to test with the config program when dgVoodoo2 was used...

Expandable's configuration program needs compatibility mode with dgVoodoo 2 (not natively, weirdly enough) The Expendable EMBM Patch crashed dgVoodoo2 for me once but I can't reproduce it. Otherwise works nicely with resolution forcing which means you can play this game at higher resolutions without …

Interestingly, combining QindieGL and Universal Resolution Changer works. Here's Heretic II running at 2560x1440 with the UI sized at 854x480. There's some minor glitches but it's still better than the other alternatives for playing Heretic II: Heretic2 2017-02-02 01-04-23-71.jpg No such luck for …

Hi Dege, Thanks for the new WIP29 version. Is it possible to add an "FPS Counter display" as an option to control panel? Also, do you have any plans to implement directx 9 support? I am asking because "Beyond Good and Evil", a classic Directx9 game, is having graphical glitches/compatibility issues …

uniWS patch for people who hate hex editing. Tried making an uniWS patch for 640x480 so you don't have to mess with _Resolution.sam , but the game does something different with its fonts for selectable resolutions than extra resolutions in _Resolution.sam. Edit: actually doesn't work so well, …

I tested this on my Windows 7 computer too. I thought it would be the same, but texture quality for the procedural generated textures (the grass) was terrible. This I fixed by using the GlobalMemoryStatus2GB fix from Microsoft's Application Compatibility Toolkit. Since my Windows 7 computer runs a …

Set VRAM in dgVoodoo2 to 8 MB, it's not in the combo box, but you can just type it in. I got all sorts of weird behavior with 16 MB or higher values, including forced lower resolution textures. There's also some graphic settings you can tweak by editing data\high.sam with notepad and you can set a …

If they're trying to be more open and less protective of their work maybe they'll allow users to get rid of the startup message. Or maybe someone will make a build without it.

Any chance you can look at Advent Rising, Dege? It works in dgVoodoo2, but there's some black flickering in the intro. More importantly, like playing it natively, it has no shadows. Shadows supposedly only ever worked on select hardware so it's probably doing something weird. And again pretty please …

7 is a little more than a service pack for Vista, it added a bunch of new stuff, removed some stuff, and rewrote a bunch of stuff to make it preform better. Compare the new features in Vista vs the new features in 7. One is clearly a major new OS release, one isn't. Marketing really does not have …

Marketing is everything. Vista's not terrible, but marketing failed so people thought it was. That's why 7 exists, basically a service pack to Vista relaunched with a better marketing campaign.

I know that, but S3 Virge/DX is not that great of a 2D/3D card for PCem, but Voodoo banshee is better at rendering games that use Directx 5. For example like Lego Creator. It's not S3 Virge/DX vs Voodoo Banshee. The next card that (likely) will be implemented in PCem is the Voodoo2. So do you have …

Uh, S3 ViRGE/DX is already listed as emulated, and supposedly there's not much point in Voodoo Banshee emulation with Voodoo 2 emulation well under way.
