I had the same video chipset on another toshiba laptop and it's useless in 3d, i think it was based on 3dimage but it's very low on ram anyway.

See if Jedi Knight or Turok Dinosaur Hunter works ok. It's more of a DirectX 5 or 6 era chip.

Tried Turok, Croc 1, Sonic R and Shogo: MAD, sadly all of them have that sprite drawing issues. Oh well, all is not lost, at least the software rendering works great, as the machine is equipped with a PIII. 😉
I remember having a Trident card in my old (1997, as I recall correctly) computer, and sure, it was slow in 3D, but otherwise worked pretty fine. I though it will be the same deal with this notebook Trident chip.

Maybe install older versions of Directx next to the newer ones ? Even though it should have a good retrocompatibility, I know a few games that needs an older version of directx to be installed with the newest one they come with. So if it works for games, I guess it can also work for some obscure graphic cards

It just occurred to me that I played around with a 3DImage 985 years ago and made videos. Here's what I imagine you are seeing in these games.

Jedi Knight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFF-P4vQ0to
Turok https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeTWTjhSQQs
Tomb Raider 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYGlfYuKz60

The chip has problems but it runs some games fairly well.

There's further examination of those Trident chips here:

Yeah, that's pretty much it. 😀 Some games run slower, some faster, but overall the sprite/texture issue is persistent across all of them.
Croc and Turok runs fairly well, Shogo is a bit too choppy for a FPS, while Sonic R slows down to a crawl, 5 FPS at best. Oh well, as I said, there's always the good ol' software rendering. 😉

Too bad I can't remember which model of Trident I had back in the day. It wasn't a speed demon, but most of the games were running without any sprite/texture issues in 640x480 D3D (even newer ones, like Croc 2 or Rayman 2).

Probably a trident blade 3d.
