Tried getting my original 4 CD version and installing it using dosbox. Not sure if my version is too old but I couldn't find that file anywhere.

The install on the disc had
./LOLG:

(Sorry about the mess-the formating didn't seem to carry over when I pasted the file list.)
If you think the install for glide is one of the files, tell me, and I'll give it a try. Otherwise I'm afraid that glide2x.ovl might not have been released for the version I have.
Could it possibly have been released in a patch?

Patch it to 1.30a. Then you can use 3dfx glide. I doubt the game had glide2x.ovl because 3dfx drivers shipped with it. Just download a voodoo1 or 2 driver, extract it and you can find glide2x.ovl. there are different versions of it, voodoo5 drivers having the newest glide2x.ovl

I'm attempting to get DOSBOX ECE's Glide emulation to work with the GOG release of Lands of Lore 2. The issue seems to be that, in their reliance on a patched version of DOSBOX 0.74 to get that working, they removed the original glide2x.ovl and replaced it with one which worked with the patched DOSBOX version.

Does anyone know where I can find the original Lands of Lore 2 Glide OVL file, or at least has a copy they're willing to share?

I hope you understand the meaning of Host vs Guest in virtualization context. DOSBox is a form of virtualization.

The GOG release of Land of Lore 2 makes use of Glide pass-through instead of voodoo1 chip emulation. For 3Dfx DOS games to work with Glide pass-through, it requires a special GLIDE2X.OVL in the guest to pass-through the APIs into host, which is then handled by host Glide wrappers such as dgVoodoo or nGlide. The original copy of GLIDE2X.OVL does not work with Glide pass-through, it works with voodoo1 chip emulation, but current voodoo1 chip emulation implementation does not render the scene correctly for Land of Lore 2. The are black borders around the textures, which is annoying.

I understand the Host vs. Guest design paradigm. What was more helpful was the reason why having the original glide2x.ovl file wouldn't be beneficial. Thank you for that!
