But TR1 runs, fullscreen only, but in software mode despite the 3dfx .exe.

You should be using the "Voodoo Rush" patch, not the 3dfx patch. It should show as 853 or 854K in size.
If it's not on your game CD, the check your GliDOS help/webpage to link to a site for downloading it.

I have a whole heap of DOS 3dfx games, so I'll post results as soon as I'm finished testing.

Even if you don't test a particular title. Could you give us a list? Trying to come up with a comprehensive 3dfx-DOS list here:
showthread.php?s=&threadid=39

I'll have a look around for the Rush patch, thanks.

I can't post a list of what I'm testing just yet as I am still hunting out all my CDs.
I bought almost every 3dfx enabled game out there, and never sold any. Just boxed them up and shoved them in the attic.

MDK was close. Didn't have a title screen or anything, but when you hit the ground after starting the game, if looked and ran pretty good.

Been there...well actually...I am there. Stacks of titles laying around. Still haven't finished Zork I yet. Oh well, it'll keep me busy when I finally retire.

Oddly, MobyGames lists this as both a DOS and a Windows title. We're trying to concentrate on the DOS 3dfx titles that don't have a Direct3D or OpenGL equivalent. From what MobyGames says, I'm not sure.

I know the feeling of games I own that I haven't completed.
I must have about 400 original CDs going back to around 1992, and I didn't get around to complete many.

MDK was DOS, but worked in windows.
The 3DFX version was DOS only, and it's still the best version.
I can play the windows version but it's not accelerated in any way, and doesn't have any kind of bilinear filtering.
Under GliDOS, I can play it if I can negotiate the menus blind (can't see a thing) and get to start the game.
The only problem is when you fire your weapon and the screen goes green.

Games I've tried so far are

Grand Theft Auto - Locks up
Starfighter3000 - Keeps wanting the CD
XWing v Tiefighter - still trying.

CraigG, that's an "only" problem? Seems rather major to be just referred to as "only".

Snover,

Did I say something wrong for you to attack me like that ?

I'm kind of confused, because I can't see anything in my post that was offensive to anyone.

Snover has a very dry sense of humor. 😜 I'm sure no offense was meant.

Ok, that makes it a possible candidate.

Starfighter3000 - Keeps wanting the CD

Hrmm. Tried a No-CD patch?

XWing v Tiefighter - still trying.

That's Windows only, right?

Remember to patch your game!

Craig, I wasn't trying to offend you. I was just saying that that sounded like a much larger problem than you made it out to be.

Ok.
Perhaps I should of worded it
"The only major problem I have encountered so far"

As the tests I'm going are only quick tests.

When I get Time I'm going to try them again with a little bit more depth.

X v Tie looks like Windows. I thought it was a DOS game that just came with an added windows installer ?

Anyway, I'll keep testing as I keep finding my CDs, and I'll post the results.

Does anyone know If I can pay Paul any other way than Paypal ?
Just wondering if anyone's tried another method.

Email me at payproblem@glidos.net and we can try and sort something out.

Should be a Windows executable. Designed primarily for Multi-Player.
