Here is the perhaps almost full list of supported EMBM-Games:
EMBM-List

Very nice!

Can you give me a source for that? I can update the Vogons wiki EMBM page with the additional games, but I need a reference. From that list I have personally played Drakan, and I can verify that it does have EMBM support, as that is clearly listed in its config menu.

where is your location? Perhaps I can sent you my G550-pci?
Beside that it would be nice to summarize optimization for G550 an games/demos.

I really don't have time to commit to it I'm afraid, thanks for the generous offer though!

Cheers!

I think most entries on that list came from the Matrox "short info" document for the G400 which is available here. I'all start by adding the games which Matrox itself advertised, and then see if I can track down a second source for the larger list that's present on that blog.

Still searching for a vsync fix for my G550.

parhelia does not suffer from this vsync issue. strange...

if someone will test the issue...here are lots of tests...

Seems lots of those "test" files are infected with Malware eh? Legit malware, not false reports. Backdoor Worm (WORM_SPYBOT.BNG)

No, they are not malware, I think the virus-scanner is wrong on this here.

My G550 shows some strange flickering in OpenGL (very noticeable in SeriousSam Intro).
The game itself seems to be mostly OK, has someone every experienced the type of flickering?

Hard to describe...seems that the screen is cut from top left to bottom right and on the right
side I see that flickering. I don't think my card is faulty...what do you think (Win2k 5.82 driver)
OpenGL only (seems that the G550 uses the G400 OpenGL)

Doc

It's crazy, totally crazy, but if I start Fraps and let it run, the flickering in OpenGL is gone.
I double-checked it and it works. crazy.

G550 got second texture unit, dieshrink and some vertex engine usable only in virtual videoconferencing.....

BTW I doubt that two TMUs per pipeline even exist, because G550 do not scale much better in games than a regular G400.

I am using a lowprofile agp-machine. In that case the G550 is remarkable better than the G450.
(there is no G400 low-profile agp and the parhelia lp agp 650 does not offer Warp4 and amithlon support the g550 does)
