In order to return full frame rate to games, I have been using the ACT fix DXPrimaryEmulation with -DisableMaxWindowedMode as a parameter, as described here: http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/post.php? … 77&post=1202630
However this has issues, most notably any video in games tends to show black (only audio). I've also found that it's causing more bugs/crashes recently (possible Nvidia driver upgrade, I'm not sure).
Anyway, I've swapped most of the games that used the above approach to instead use the ACT fix NoGDIHWAcceleration. However on some games you now see an outside window border (with minimise/close/etc icons in the top-right) around some games. Most of those I've fixed by adding the ACT fix ForceSimpleWindow, however on one game, Suzuki Alstare Extreme Racing (by Criterion/Ubisoft), this approach doesn't work. I can swap back to the original DXPrimaryEmulation fix, but the intro screens and opening menu background are black.
I tried using dgVoodoo with the game, but that crashes, as mentioned here.
Are there any other ACT fixes for getting rid of outer Windows borders from games (where they shouldn't be appearing)?
