Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11

Posted on 2016-11-03, 09:43

I use RTSS, the statistics server included with MSI Afterburner. It does work great for FPS limiting in dgVoodoo2, without being limited to refresh rates (few people have 30hz refresh rates, but there are games that need to be limited to that). It's somewhat tricky to enable from Afterburner …

Re: What does DgVoodoo2 do exactly?

There are multiple games that work on XP and later without any wrapper, but the experience is sub-optimal if they were designed for 640x480x256 colors, since if it can't change the desktop, the palette is screwed up. There are other ways to fix that problem other than using a wrapper, though – the …

Re: Space Invaders (1999) Poor Performance

That should work. Does dgVoodoo2 work with other games for you? If not You have changed system DLL load order (like KnownDLLs). Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDLLs" in registry and check if ddraw.dll is on list, if is - delete it. (KnownDLLs are not …

Space Invaders uses DX6.1, AFAIK. Problem is, putting the dgVoodoo DLLs into its directory does absolutely nothing...unless I've done it wrong, of course. Am I right in thinking you just drop the three DLLs and the setup EXE into the same folder as the game's EXE file? Yes, but you are doing …

Re: Forcing real fullscreen in old win3.1 game.

Most Win 3.1 titles crash when you try to enter fullscreen mode on WinXP and above (when they have that option). Nitemare 3D also behaves the same and uses WinG as well. But the method I suggested works around that. It's not real fullscreen, but when the game fills the entire screen what do you …

I could have told the name (mouja) but it's not what I'd call a mainstream game LOL Shiftwindow works but it only maximizes window frame, content is still a portion of screen (windowed). Same with another tool called ResizeEnable. Don't use the automatic function, ShiftWindow allows you to manually …

It looks sharper for me, maybe better scaling. Yep, desperados and everything, I really like the crispy clean graphics dxgl and dgvoodoo2 can throw out when they proper render at high resolution, I'm tired of blurry graphics you often obtain when running old games on modern rig. Some ppl prefer …

Well, you have a problem with codecs: the game works perfectly on Windows 10 stock install. It gives a white screen if I install LAV filters. So it's reasonable to assume that means it doesn't like whatever filter you're using either. Try playing the video files in a directshow media player (mpc-hc …

Have anyone managed to run ST 2005 (the first person shooter) in Windows 7? The game itself works fine but it have Windows Media Video 9 videos as menu background and between levels, and those videos are a white frame on my system.

I'm playing Desperados with the widescreen patch and it have heavy slowdowns moving the mouse. I have tried disabling v-sync both in nvidia driver panel and dgv, it doesnt help at all (it is supposed to be working checking with Fraps). I have also enabled Fast Video Memory. dgVoodoo 2.53.

I don't see what's wrong with any of the pictures you posted. Again, are there scaling artifacts? Is the image too blurry? There are workarounds (that do not work for all games) too make games sharper or smoothen out more artifacts that can be utilized with higher resolution monitors yes, but I …

Is aspect ratio the problem? Because your graphic card drivers or monitor drivers should offer options for that. Is the problems scaling artifacts? Too blurry an image? Black bars on the top and bottom? Do you intend to play multiplayer (battle.net uses some GDI interaction which some wrappers won't …
