I wanted to test the 24bit resolution in Star Wars Episode I Racer, but that game does not start without fast video memory access on my computer. 😀 If dgVoodoo can not use fast video memory access with 24bit resolutions, I won't be able to run that game in 24bit resolution on my computer anyway. I will test it with 32bit, when you publish the new WIP.

In theory, should we see any visual difference between 16bit, 24bit or 32bit enumerated resolutions if we force them to the game via dgVoodoo? I am asking because as far as I know dgVoodoo always renders the DX11 output in 32bit.

If you disable or change the default dithering method (32bit quality) then 16 bit makes sense. 32 bit is 24 in quality, it makes no sense in that respect.

Hi Dege,
Several wips have been released but this issue here still happens(been waiting patiently for some changes:D ).
With dgVoodoo the shadows in that spot dont show(where Sam is looking between doors). With the original card the shadows are there.

a youtuber was thinking of streaming Colin McRae Rally
so I tested it for him since he had problem.
However this is what I discover and did. I just copied my youtube comment since it contain the same information as i'm going to tell
but I will say 3 things make it weird :

Game.exe gives up trying to run Rally.exe
running Rally.exe manually in win98 mode, it uses almost 1 min to start
Rally.exe crashes after finishing a track.

After updating the game to 1.5 ---

1. poking around in the game registry , i only changed a value Hardware to "1", there is a value called Initialised , that turns into 1 , when the game has started up.

2. I also manage to run the game with the latest dgvoodoo 2.55.1wip47, and it runs at full native monitor resolution in 4:3, "in my case 1920x1440"

3. You need run rally.exe and set the compatibility to windows 98. and with XinputPlus with DirectInput emulation a.k.a non-xbox gamepad mode , i manage to separate acceleration and break to separate stick , since the game original, use accelerator and brake on same analoge stick. ~silly game 😜

4.However there is problems,.. after completing a track, the game gives up and close itself

With dgVooodoo2 the game can't even initialize (without it works).

Not even a log file created......

Besides insisting on running a window, it works fine for me. You need to disable mouse capture if you haven't. Also set desktop resolution to game resolution (because losing focus = crash and it only works windowed).

Up
Black window (correct dimensions!)@start -> silent crash

Without dgVoodoo2 it's working flawlessy

Well it does work flawlessly with dgVoodoo2 on the newest stable Windows 10 version (I'm on 1803 Build 17134.48). All I did to run it was copy mcx directory from CD to HDD, copy dgVoodoo2 files, run dgVoodooCpl.exe in the game directory and press ".\" to add a clean configuration to the game then set MCX.exe to run in 640x480 compatibility mode.

Maybe it needs you to do this?:

If that's not it I'm thinking it's going to be difficult to figure out what's wrong on your system specifically.

Awesome, i'v tried to hex edit cmr1 exe file back to its original string ddraw.dll, and now it runs in-menu and tuning options at full 60 fps and no input lag.
previously I had to hex edit the exe's string "ddraw.dll" to something like "dgdrw.dll" to make it work.

thanks for your awesomeness Dege 😀

Re-tested.

Original version is working WITHOUT AND WITH dgVoodoo2 2.55.2
No-CD version is working WITHOUT dgVoodoo2 but WITH dgVoodoo2 no 😐

How is this even possible? 😐

Space Rangers 2: Reboot from GOG.com no longer works with dgVoodoo2 WIP48 with default settings and DLLs as it fails to init DX8 (see attached debug log from game). It's almost like the sole GPU on my system, an Intel HD Graphics 620, is getting detected and used before the dgVoodoo2 DLLs as the log is correctly reporting the actual DirectX version.

I just switched from a GTX 970 to a Vega 64 and dgVoodoo2 versions 2.55 to 2.55.2 have crazy textures in MechWarrior 4 Vengeance and Mercenaries both. dgVoodoo2 v2.54 and below do not have this issue, but WIP48 does. I never had this issue with the GTX 970.

I'm using Radeon software v18.6.1 and Windows 10 version 1803

v2.55(.2) and WIP48:

What is the output log from dgVoodoo?

Not much, but this is what I wanted 2.55.3 to be. Also, I changed my exe compression policy and the package gets much less false positives on VirusTotal.
