Read, and reply, please. Anything you can add. Yes, I know they're old threads, but I'd like to keep updating them whenever possible.
Was Archimedean Dynasty not a DOS game too?( Schleichfahrt in Germany). There was a 3DFX-Patch for it.
Do you read or subscribe to Glidos' SmartGroups forum too? There's a user who got Archimedean Dynasty working...

By the way, is it legal to sell a software based on open sourcecode anyway? Or wasn´t the original OpenGlide-code published under the GPL?
GLIDOS and OpenGlide are separate components, which are both included when you purchase GLIDOS. However, Paul's version of OpenGlide is also available free (while GLIDOS is not). You can even request the sourcecode of his alterations to OpenGlide from him, but per the license, that should be available freely, Paul. *ahem*
Are there Glide-Wrappers for Glide1-API-based games like Mechwarrior2 and the other games that came with the original Voodoo-cards?

I ask that because I have yet to find a glidewrapper that will run POD flawlessly, the main problem is that you cannot install the "standard" version first and then the upgrade to use glide2x, that way you´ll end up with the standard geometry files for some tracks and cars which have less colorful textures.
I'm pretty sure your POD patch problem has been covered and even fixed by the articles written by several of the many (now defunct) POD fan sites, such as POD Underground. (http://www.kineticdreams.net/underground)
There's been many articles written as to how to apply patches, although I can't find them at the moment. I recommend you check out this site (http://spiritfreedom.net/pod) and keep an eye on this one (http://www.kineticdreams.net/underground) which used to have the articles I'm thinking of. As an old time Poddie, I should know. Actually, I'll go try to light a fire under Redline to get his site going again, although QBall's site is/was pretty good for info.
Still, though, that doesn't mean you'll get a Glide wrapper to work with them. I believe we've determined in our threads here that the best ones for commercial games at this moment are GLIDOS' OpenGlide, and eVoodoo. The UnReal wrapper was fairly good as things go for TNT cards, as was the BigRRed wrapper for Rendition cards.
