@Dege Good afternoon, I'm really sorry that I'm straying from the topic, I couldn't find another way to contact you. I am a developer of the portproton application for Linux, recently added an application to flatpak and thought about how to make the application more versatile and user-friendly. One of the ideas is to add your functionality to run old computer games, and we would like to ask your permission, can I use your application for our project? Use the libraries, repackage them and upload them to github along with our project. Once again, I apologize for writing off-topic, the site of our project https://flathub.org/ru/apps/ru.linux_gaming.PortProton and https://github.com/Castro-Fidel/PortWINE

@Htylol could you tell me if you can use dgVoodoo2 version => to 2.80+ on Linux/Wine?
From my side the last working version on Linux/Wine is 2.79.3

@legluondunet v2.81.3 still works (at least in portproton), but the above versions of dgvoodoo2 (v2.81.3+) no longer work (at least the glide api no longer worked). I also wanted to know about this... What game exactly did it not work in? Maybe it depends on the game. Worked for me on unreal (1998) 2.81.3

It's not related to one game, I belong to Lutris team https://lutris.net/ and I write Lutris scripts installer for old Windows Games (Star Wars Episode 1, Moto Racer etc...), you can consult my scripts on my Github page here:
https://github.com/legluondunet/MyLittleLutrisScripts

I use dgVoodoo2 in numerous scripts installer and since 2.80+ version, dgVoodoo simply crash. For the moment It's not very an important issue because 2.79.3 still works very well.
I can reproduce this crash on different computer with different CPU/GPU.
I will try to debug my dgVoodoo crash with debug exe and submit it to Dege.

my config:
Manjaro 23.1.3 Vulcan
Kernel: x86_64 Linux 6.6.19-1-MANJARO
Proc: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX
GPU: AMD Radeon RX 6600M
Drivers: Mesa 24.0.2
Resolution: 1920x1080
32 Go RAM
DE: Xfce4

I joined you wine log using dgVoodoo 2.82.5 debug, hoping Dege will find something interesting.
All the games I tested with dgVoodoo2 2.80+ simply did not launch, crash directly (Moto Racer, Star Wars Episode 1, Tomb Raider III...).
I only tested directx games with x86 Ddraw.dll and d3dimm.dll, default options in dgvoodoo.conf.

Hi!
I respect your project, but sorry, I don't want that. 😐
dgVoodoo has no business on non-Windows platforms anyway.

@Dege: It's a very disappointing answer, but it's your project, your choice to not support other platform that Windows.
All the same, a big thank you for the work carried out which contributes to the conservation of old video games.

@Htylol: Happily dgVoodoo isn 't the only graphic wrapper out there. I advice you to try dxwrapper, DxWnd and cnc-draw, all this projects are open source and devs are open to Linux/Wine users.
