Tutorial: dosbox with Glide under Linux

[Enverex]

@Yesterplay80: Which GLIDE2X.OVL should be used with this patch?

EDIT: glide2x_emu.ovl renamed to glide2x.ovl seems to work. Albeit with lots of mode switching but that seems normal for the game. On that note, is there any way to keep scaling in play when using this? i.e. the way DOSBox normally works? With the output scaled up to match the original screen resolution, rather than changing to the actual resolution of the game? (which can be pretty low, e.g. 320x240).

But when i try to patch, this ask me which file i want to patch

Code: Select all

$ cat dosbox_glide.diff | patch -p0

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

i am trying to patch dosbox 0.73 source code.
Someone have a patch version for the official dosbox 0.74 source code to enable glide support ???

[MastaG]

For 0.74 and later versions there's the voodoo chip emulation patch which doesn't require an external glide wrapper.
See: viewtopic.php?f=41&t=41853&start=40#p597692
I haven't tried it yet.

But I'd really like to see an updated version of gulikoza's 3dfx patch for newer versions of dosbox though.
I've used it in the past with openglide on linux and it worked great for Carmageddon

[Enverex]

The post in response to the one you've linked seems to imply that it still requires additional files and didn't really seem usable.

I'll double check what I'm using because I'm pretty sure my custom hacked-together version of DOSBox supports 3DFX and works OK.
