Were there ever any other forms of 3D hardware support for the original "Myth" besides the Voodoo?

It supported the Rendition chipset as well, but I haven't seen a single wrapper for it.

The bug seems like something just doesn't get reset when the level is loaded. Something specific to fullscreen. I'll try a quick desk check of the source.

I just did some more testing.

If I switch the video acceleration down to to one notch from the left (disable 3D acceleration) and use software rendering it doesn't display this problem.

Does that mean its a driver problem and I should talk to ATI about it?

Last post for now, I promise 😀.

I just tested Zeckensack's Glide wrapper (its at http://www.guru3d.com) for ATI cards only, and it didn't display this corruption, so it probably isn't a driver thing.

!!!

Fabio and Paul had better look at this then!

No, but the SDK is out, so someone could make one (Fabio?)

Also, BigRRed was a Glide->Rendition wrapper, perhaps it could be reversed. You could stalk the web to find the authors, see here:
http://www.renditionrevival.com/devboard/devindex.html

For that, why not find more wrapper authors to work on OpenGlide?

NEHow, I recommend Fabio and Paul read the Big Rred-related posts, it might give them ideas. Or anyone.

Whats the point of making a Rendition wrapper when most old games used Glide anyway?

What's the harm?

Time that could be better spent doing something else..?

Let me rephrase:

SOMEONE (not necessarily Paul or Fabio) should make a Rendition wrapper.

For that matter, there should be a wrapper for every video card with a proprietary API to wrap to Direct3D or OpenGL.

You'd be surprised, there's more than just Glide and RRedline.

I tried Myth out on a Geforce 2 using OpenGLide, and it worked perfectly.

Really want to have fun? Emulate a NV1 card. There's a challenge for you. Then when you're done, modify it into a Sega Saturn emulator.

Me and Stiletto would be grateful...I don't think anyone else cares...

Then it must be the ATI drivers, no? Or maybe DirectX?

I guess it still could be OpenGlide, though...

It could very well be the lack of OpenGL extensions on ATi cards.

That doesn't explain how it works FINE for one level and then you load it up again and its just garbled. Once I saw bits and pieces of my Tribes 2 game that I played earlier for a split second.

Drivers?

*heh*
Wow, that's messed up.
It could be the card not clearing its RAM, or having a faulty RAM chip. This is a wild shot in the dark, though.
