I know: I feel so stupid now. Of course that's how Microsoft would do it. 😉

Ah, stupid microsoft: that dll isn't included in DirectX 9.0c, but application writers can destribute it as part of an installer. There is an installer for just that dll here: http://www.toymaker.info/Games/html/d3dx_dlls.html

Damn! I've seen that d3dx9_27.dll warning, but I can't remember what caused it. I have swapped to the August2005 version of the SDK, but that shouldn't be the problem. Does Crock still work how it used to with v0.1? Do you have DirecX 9.0c installed?
psVoodoo v0.2 released

Just released psVoodoo v0.2 http://psvoodoo.sourceforge.net/ Croc works ok now, except for one strange bit of text on the initial screen, and the problem with TR's ring menu is fixed.

If you right click on D: and choose "Properties" you might be able to find out what it is. I can tell you how to swap letters, but it might be an idea to find out what D: is first

A quick warning. psVoodoo doesn't work very well with Glidos at the moment. There's a nasty bug in Glidos to do with frame buffer reading. OpenGLide tolerates the bug, but psVoodoo doesn't at the moment. I completely forgot about this because I fixed my local copy of Glidos. I'm not expecting to …

Open source means exactly the advantage you mention is possible. Since the source is visible, anyone can make contributions to psVoodoo, or they can make use of the source in their own wrapper. i.e.. if the pixel shader code in psVoodoo is suitable for use in dgVoodoo, then Dege can use it, or maybe …

Great! Thanks for the feedback. Dege, I'll look into the indexed triangle thing. If the game is using indexed, its daft that I don't pass the geometry on in the same way. For paletted textures, the hardware regeneration method is a great improvement, and makes Red Baron smooth, but still Blood is …

Kaminari, ah right. Shouldn't be hard to sort out then... actually I might have a copy of Croc that another kind friend from vogons sent me. :happyhappy: Gambit37, on second thoughts, trying those experimental versions may be a waste of time. I now think they are unlikely to be any better, and I've …

Gambit37, if you have time sometime, could you try out the two versions attached. I haven't really got to the bottom of the crashes you were experiencing, but these ones may behave differently.

Thanks. Useful test. Chromakeying for 16bit texture formats isn't implemented yet, so that explains that part. Is there a warning about z-buffering in psVoodoo.log? w-buffering is handled but not z yet. There's no config file yet.

That's great thanks. Not sure what's going on, but that is very probably enough info to track it down.

Ta. Contents of psVoodoo.log would be interesting too.

This is the first version. Don't expect advantages. :happyhappy: Actually, on my X800, I do see some advantage. I was getting objects at far distance peeking through others. That doesn't happen with this dll for me. I think you are right about the slower rendering, but I'm surprised you can tell. Is …

Here's a new toy for people to play with it they're interested. http://psvoodoo.sourceforge.net/ Early days so don't expect too much. May be a good alternative to OpenGLide for people playing TR1. Also may be good with Red Baron 3D for those with graphics cards that have no support for paletted …

Finally got the first release of psVoodo out. Here it is http://psvoodoo.sourceforge.net/. Pixel shader version of gr{Alpha,Color}Combine seems to work ok, but I still haven't found the secret of fast update of textures. 🙁

That's a great idea. It would certainly be a great improvement for people to have one place they can find all the packs.

Where it says "partition(1)" change it to "partition(0)". Or it might be 0 already and you have to change it to 1. Also the words wont be "Microsoft Windows XP Professional". They will probably be something like "Continue Installation of Windows XP". You can change them to whatever you want to see …

Make sure you get Glidos from http://www.glidos.net. There are various versions on the web with all sorts of nasty things done to them.
