I for one would be willing to buy a working wrapper that allowed me to play titles like Janes Longbow 2 and Janes F-15. These are solid titles forever lost to the ages with the death of 3Dfx. Many of us simmers would likely help defray the costs of development (provided they are within reason of course).

Both these are on the list to look at.
Jolly good idea!
Mind you, there's a directx patch for F-15 which goes some way towards (though not all the way) matching the original 3DFX graphics.
The best advantage, if Glidos could help, would be to increase the original screen resolution from a 640x480 max to a higher one.
Trouble is the Jane's titles are both Windows-only. Maybe we'd need a whole new product - "GliWin" !?
So am I to understand that I can run OpenGlide and get results? I found the file(s) but zero documentation. No readme, nothing. I am a terminal "end user" who just does not what to trash his rig installing somthing tat I have no idea how it is supposed to be utilized.

No chance of that with glide wrappers. Most involve simply sticking a "glide2x.dll" in your game directory and/or configuring the wrapper with an included .exe. That's it. No system corruption should occur!

So I believe. Trouble is, before I found Glidos (et al) I hadn't managed to get any of the other wrappers to work for me (even the previous Openglide). When Glidos actually *worked* I was bowled over! (I've got back up now...)

Something to do, then, boys... Colin?
