The clipboarc is an invisible buffer where things while you are cutting and pasting. Cut and the clipboard is where it goes. Paste and that's where it comes from. To unlock Glidos you have to cut the GlidosID into the form at http://unlock.glidos.net. You then press a button on that form to generate …

Ok, a quick description, and then you can ask questions where I don't make thing clear: 1) Install XP on the drive. You may already have it installed 2) Use Partition Magic 8 to add a new primary partition before the XP partition. XP should still boot. 3) Install 98 on the drive, getting it to use …

OK, I'm looking forward to it! :cool: But, I'm not expert in dx9, haven't learnt too much of it yet. :happy: Much appreciated. I have the sourceforge project accepted, but I'll probably try to complete the shaders version of the combine unit before uploading the cvs repository. Ah, yes, …

Is this still an outstanding issue. Its just that I was looking for ways to do this a while back, and found a really nice way on the net somewhere. I can describe it for you, if you like. On of my main requirements was that both OSes saw themselves as being on C:

You looking at Dx9 too. Maybe we should pool resources. I'm getting close to releasing a first version of psVoodoo. Was thinking of making it open source. It seems a bit slow, but then its only a few weeks old. I was intending to use pixel shaders for everything, but was frightened off learning too …

Yeah, I've been experimenting with DirectX and direct access to buffers lately. That's so nice, and dithered 16bit really doesn't seem to look any different from 32bit. Yes, indeed it's nice, but can only be used rarely, when the lock origin is upper left, no scaling, write format is the same as …

dgVoodoo does bluescreening too, if "fastwrite" is enabled (yes, I call it "fastwrite" :happy:) otherwise it reads back all the color buffer content to prepare writing (it's "slowwrite", not too effective, so it can be considered obsolete, except for one case, when dgV can give back the pointer to …

Don't know how dgVoodoo implements LFB access. Glidos works only in server mode, and doesn't do anything clever about interprocess memory access, so it has to do LFB writes by blue screening (lock fills the buffer with blue, and unlock flushes the buffer with blue taken as transparent). When you …

It would be difficult anyway. The texture override system sits between DOS Glidos and Windows Glide. Hence it can create textures no bigger than 256x256. I would have to break the 1024x1024 slab into 16 parts, and then if a texture straddled two, it would be quite nasty breaking some triangle …

AD is really awkward. At least the demo version is. There's an initial screen that requires a mouse click on a button to get any further. That screen is running in VESA, and Glidos's mouse driver doesn't work in conjunction with its VESA driver. What's more, there's no easy way to get a data path …
