I am using Windows 98SE, and my machine I'm testing with is my S370 PIII-S 1.4GHz Tualatin machine. Thing is, I already had Fraps 1.9 installed, but I get a FRAPS warning when launching it, warning me about a DirectInput issue and thus hotkeys not working. I assume it has something to do with the fact that I'm using DX7 instead of DX9. Thing is, I try not to install DX9 unless I need to.

So, then, question is, are there other programs out there that work with DX7?

Have not tried it myself so I dont know if it works in games or even with your setup but you could try !Quick Screen Capture from:

Fraps 1.9d works for me under W98SE, but I use DX8.2

Okay, just tried it. First, it's another technically not-free program. What features you get with paying for it, though, are a mystery for me. However, sadly, this doesn't work in-game at all. It allows for DirectX in-game captures, according to the settings menu, but I guess when you go into a Glide game, it doesn't work.

When you say "worked," you mean not showing a "DirectInput" error upon startup? Also, is this with a 3dfx card or not?

Like I have said, its just something I have stumbled upon but didnt try myself. I remember reading people had issues taking screenshots in Glide games in general so perhaps there is no way and you need to rely on in-game screenshot tool - if the game has it. If there was a well known way then someone would have already posted some popular solution by now, a lot of people on vogons have 3dfx cards.

When I said "worked" I meant there are no errors and measuring FPS works just fine. I didnt try taking screenshots with it nor do I own a 3dfx card (yet). I am currently on Quadro FX1300. If you will want me to test something with Fraps 1.9d on my machine, feel free to ask.

You can make a backup of your disk and try DX8.2, see if that helps with the Fraps error you are having.

This one even says glide games in the description? Didn't try it myself...

Okay. Yeah, I guess I can try out DX8+ and see if Fraps works. It is very easy after all to restore a 98 install - just copy the files over again. 😜

🤣 You know that's the program I said I was using to begin with, no?

When I have issues screenshotting my old hardware (i.e. ingame screenshot feature not grabbing G100A or PCX2 buffer) I have Paint Shop Pro 5 open on hotkey capture mode to just grab the whole screen multiple times. It of course won't work with secondary video adapters and their APIs (it won't nab a thing from a V1/V2's Glide)
