Getting back to GTA, I'm confused as to exactly how the video improves with Glide..? FWIW, I didn't exactly see a difference between 1600x1200 software mode and 1600x1200 Glide mode, and that was when I *had* a Voodoo^2.

When you have a banshee and a low-res monitor, Glide makes all the difference:)

Seriously, compare Glide & software in the lowest res to see the difference.

Chanza, is that Simon the Sorcerer? That's a game I'd like to play again.

Anyway, GTA: I should be able to release a new version of Glidos later today or tomorrow. Don't be too hopeful though: there's some sort of problem with lag in the controls. I don't know the game well so perhaps that's normal bu it feels wrong to me.

Dreams to Reality is working well though. Very pretty; very weird.

Well, hey. I know the game, uh, really, really well. I also know GTA2 and GTA3 really, really well. So, shoot it over here first if you're really anxious and I'll give it a spin.

Yes, it’s my fault.

Fantastic:)

This should kill my current problem with playing GTA... namely that the DOS version will only run in low colour, and the windows version runs *way* to fast, and is horribly jerky at the same time.

I don't know the game well so perhaps that's normal bu it feels wrong to me.

Don't worry, I'm sure Snover & I will let you know if there's anything wrong:)

Hehe, yeah, it's from the end where you're battling Sordid:)

Paul, when they're all supported in GliDOS in the next release, could you post a few screenshots to your website? (Dreams To Reality, Sentinel, GTA, etc.)

BTW, SCUMMVM has limited support for Simon 1 & 2 - not because it was somehow a LucasArts game (it wasn't) but because one of the main programmers of SCUMMVM (not SCUMM) also worked on Simon. 😀
