what's the cause of this?

There does not exist a Glide-ONLY Gameslist, neither a Glide-Only Screenshotthread in the entire Internet. If somebody wants to play Retro-3Dfx Games he will get a good advice what 3dfx was all about. Though 3dfx-Cards run D3D and OpenGL but GLIDE was THE UNIQUE CARACERISTIC.

Another unique characteristic is the DAC

screenshots can't snap DAC output

care to explain more leileilol?

Voodoo3+ "22-bit" rendering: Here is an explanation why it doesn't show up on screenshots.

I guess you could use some kind of vga capture card to take screenshots, or maybe through a Vga s-video adapter -> tv capture card ( loss of resolution ? ) . Or is there a "smarter" way ?

HyperSnap-DX 4 has some post-capture processing tools that may improve some captures should they
not appear as desired. To enable automatic post processing of these captures, check this box and then
select the type of processing you wish to have applied. These are performed based on the type of capture
you're making, and are designed to improve the appearance of captures from these various hardware
types based on our knowledge of "typical defects" gotten from their images.

You must first select the type of graphics controller you have installed.
None, unknown, or other than listed below - defines a "generic" post processing environment.

1x4 filter for 3dfx Voodoo 1, Voodoo Rush, or other Voodoo 1 based cards - optimizes processing
based on the characteristics of the images generated by these boards.
2x2 filter for 3dfx Voodoo 2, Voodoo Banshee, and Voodoo 3 based cards - optimizes the post
processing based on the characteristics of the images generated by these boards.

Glide-ONLY gamelist would be very, very short indeed. I remember maybe only one or two games that absolutely required Voodoo to run, one was a racing game (very ugly one at that) that came with some V2 in box and some DOS fighting game with a funny name that I never played in my life.

But if you extend the list to Glide-Compatible games, then you can indeed find a list on the net: here http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=1758 and here http://www.falconfly.de/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl … =1266692177/0#0

You are welcome 😅
