Have tested MK4 (with nGlide) not so long ago. There is 1 trouble - the d3d (f6) and fullscreen software (f7) modes not work on my Radeon HD2600 Pro Agp. "Direct3d isn't available" and "Directdraw isn't available". Tested with WinXpSp3 + dx9.0c (June 2010).
Any way to fix this (w/o wrappers)?

Asus P4P800 SE/Pentium4 3.2E/2 Gb DDR400B,
Radeon HD3850 Agp (Sapphire), Catalyst 14.4 (XpProSp3).
Voodoo2 12 MB SLI, Win2k drivers 1.02.00 (XpProSp3).

Unless you have a special Glide version of MK4 it should run fine without Nglide. I played it in full screen D3D on an old Pentium 4 XPS3 PC with Radeon 9200SE AGP DirectX 9.0c and currently on Pentium 4 with Radeon HD5450 PciE XPSP3 DirectX 9.0c.

Yes, I was wrong. After I have renamed glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll in %system% - d3d mode works ok. Fullscreen ddraw mode still not works.
So - this is the game "feature"...

Mk4 is ddraw/d3d/glide. F5 chooses the glide mode.

F5 tells me, that no glide is available? is it a bug or does it need special/newer drivers or does it need files from the driver copied in the directory ?
