Hi all!

Please help me launch HyperBlade game 1996 through dgVoodoo 2.78
I tried to play with the official patch v1.0.0.1, unfortunately there are problems. Enemies don't shoot properly, and your team mates cannot pass, and you cannot see your own health.
When I try to start the game through dgVoodoo, I get a black screen.

Help, please!

Last time I checked, Peixoto's patches were the best choice for this game.

I did not find a patch for this game from Peixoto's. Can you describe in more detail where to find the solution.

Seems you figured it out already:

It's nice that Peixoto is improving the menus, but it was working already:

This game is so old that it draws the menu and some 2D HUD elems by GDI instead of DDraw/D3D.
Even enabling GeneralExt\EnableGDIHooking does not help because not all of the needed hooks are currently implemented.

So, this game is currently not supported through dgVoodoo.
