There's a new version of Glidos out. Its just the support for Blood and Screamer.

Paul, your website is offline.

Any chance of posting it locally, like an attachment ?

The new version involves one less batch file for Blood, which might help, but still Blood may give some people problems. I'm hoping it doesn't matter too much because I tell people not to pay until they have the game they are interested in working.

Craig, does the web site seem to be back now?

Yep, all back, mate. 😀

I now got that spinning logo now 🙁

Hold on, I've added a network card so I can FTP to my Xbox.

Will that change my Glidos ID, Paul ?

I've quickly tested Screamer Rally, not Screamer2, and it now runs at 15fps tops.
Getting there, Paul. Certainly better than 10 fps tops.

Yep that would do it. You could post your GlidosID here, or in a private message and I can unlock you again.

That's good news. Nothing I've changed. Must be something that Fabio has sped up. And I'm still not using his very latest version.

Paul, do I need another ID to update to 1.20?
Must I uninstall the older version?

Another thing, I got rid of all the graphic glitches in Tomb Raider just by updating detonators
😁

Now I´m runing TR1 and Descent II in all its full glory!

Wanna try Blood, but dunno if it will ruin my installed Glidos, which is working like a dream...

Let me know ASAP, Paul, I´m installing Blood now, and already got v1.20 of Glidos and the 3dfx Blood Patch 1.2.
What do I do?
I forgot another important thing, do I perform a DOS install of Blood, like I did in TR and D2?
Or the regular windows install will work?

Thanx in advance;)

The thing to do is copy the file Authority.txt somewhere safe. Then you can delete the Glidos folder, install v1.20 and put Authority.txt back. That way there's no need to get a new code.

Trying Blood can't really mess up TR and DescentII. I'm not sure how you should install Blood. I used "Blood - one whole unit" off the net. There are people here that would know- Craig's a good bet.

Nope:(
Tried both installations, DOS and Windows...
Blood does´nt even start...

What am I doing wrong?

TR and D2 are working fine...

And Blood is working in software mode at 320x200 !!!!
In Windows XP!!!
And is working fine...
But Glidos does´nt even start...🙁

Have you installed the 3dfx patch?

Also, some games you can start with Glidos by double clicking the games exe, but not Blood: with Blood you must use the Glidos "Start game" button.

There's a whole thread here about running Blood.

Did you download nolfb?

Sure.
I got it all.
I needed that whole stuff to make TR run.
But I remember that in TR I needed to include a command in DOS for the sound drivers to work...ain´t that so?
I did´nt do it for Blood, and the sound works great on software using the regular windows exe (a shortcut to DOS, of course).

I dunno...
