The Sims 3
Gets into menu, but crashes when trying to load a new game.
Log attached.

By the way, are you sure it is not possible at all to add support for software vertex processing to dgvoodoo2?
I know it's very complicated to implement it properly, but Wine somehow workarounded that (https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39057), and it would be very useful to have in dgvoodoo2 D3D9 as apparently Microsoft broke/discontinued that feature in the some Windows 10 update, so the games that utilize that (including Sims 2) no longer work. I mean, the main goal with dgvoodoo2 is to make old games work nice again, right?

Seabass fishing fullscreen / window resizing not working, and corrupt palette when forcing 256 colors (if you don't do that, the game refuses to start), maybe that's because it's an ancient win95 / directx 2 (!) game. I found a workaround for the palette problem: start the game by forcing 256 mode and then going to monitor settings and restoring 32bit colors. Plus I suggest to add some compatibility modes (like force 256 colors) to dgvoodoo2, in order to avoid to add boring compatibility flags to every old game executable and having to do that with dgvoodooCPL too.

Update: another ancient peculiar case like Wargods. The game uses direct3d for fishing sessions only (optional), all the rest is (most probably) directdraw and the window resolution is not resizable 320x240. Dgvoodoo2 correctly run (you can see the dgvoodoo2 watermark) but it cannot force fullscreen or different size window. If you enable fullscreen option (F4), the direct3d parts run abysmally slow.

Report for D3D9 games:
1) Halo CE (lastest version): game runs well but it seems that AF forcing is not working
2) Halo 2 Project Cartographer OR vanilla (lastest version): Initialization Failed

EYE: Divine Cybermancy, a game which requires, at minimum, a SM2.x card, shows a blank screen at the main menu when using WIP55.1. The menu works, but I can't see any of the options.

Attached is the debug log.

The Suffering still crashes when trying to run in fullscreen mode. It crashes in SetGammaRamp method, but if the gamma setting function is skipped, it crashes somewhere else.

Thx, The Suffering and EYE is fixed.

Windows 7?
On Win10, setting the desktop display bit depth is virtual, desktop remains at 32bpp physically but the value set is reported to the application.
dgVoodoo reports the same that is currently set through the compat option.

Vista 32bit 😊

The first WIP55 link is broken

Wait for the next WIP, Dege got some bugfixing ready 😁

Good 😀

Wanne report KOTT 2 Knights of the Temple 2 crashing DGVoodoo2 WIP 55 in an endless soundloop and black screen on start.
Game seems to be DX9 shader model 1.1, a few relevant debug lines see attached (the last line repeats itself forever)

EDIT

When deleting videos the game will start, but once entering the tutorial i end up in a "White Screen" with the following debug message:

[4632] [dgVoodoo] ERROR: Direct3DDevice9 (05816FD8): Draw*: Bounds of the current scissor rect is invalid for the current rendertarget and scissor test is enabled.
-repeating itself

I had to remove that because yesterday I got the usual, outstanding mail from one of my beloved companies, namely Google, my good old **** pet peeve in my ass, that my site is infected and... blabla. 😠 😠 😠 😵

Dune 2000 dont work really. Mouse Issues rendering issues etc.

When i try it with a fan patch and DGvoodoo it workd but keeping Aspect ratio is extremly broken.

Basser's lake tested and dgvoodoo2 is not working, game engine is Click&Create, it uses GDI maybe.

Works fine here.

Remember that Dune 2000 is a 640x400/4:3 game and dgVoodoo2's keep aspect ratio doesn't account for non-square pixel aspect ratios, that's why there's an option specifically to force 4:3.

Also remember that Dune 2000 works very well with other wrappers (cnc-ddraw, DXGL and DxWnd).

And remember there's OpenRA 😁

Planet Alcatraz (Steam version) crashes when attempting to play the intro videos when using WIP51.1

The hefty debug log, detailing multiple attempts to run the game, is attached.

A new WIP:

Some notes on some games:
- Knights Of the Temple 2: Must be run with v-sync forced or the game is implayably fast
- Spore: This game checks against all the possible pixel shader versions; however it checks against 2.61 ( 😕 ) instead of 2.1
a little patch until dgVoodoo is at level 2.1 if someone is interested: http://dege.fw.hu/temp/Spore.zip
- Planet Alcatraz: This game loads both dgVoodoo D3D9 and MS D3D9. I guess they are used simultaneously which causes memory corruption.
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Shadows are indeed have glitches when resolution is forced (they are OK with default settings);
I tried if setting option 'DirectXExt\RTTexturesForceScaleAndMSAA' to false helps but unfortunately it didn't; the debug layer dumped tons of messages about detected mismatching textures.
It's a pity because this game is hardwired to a fixed resolution.

Forgot to say: I didn't yet fixed all problems that have been reported. Please keep in mind that I'm focusing on correct D3D9 rendering for the time being.

UT3 is working but the road to the correct rendering is long 😁

1) snow texture (shader?) not showing (see the mountain rocks)
2) some textures are highlighted (see the belt)
3) some textures (shaders?) are missing (see the shock rifle bar)

Would compressing multiple times using different formats or renaming to a .txt extension fix that?
