Activision Asteroids (DX6) crashes when run in hardware accelerated mode.

No HAL driver present.

Additionally, Options menu appears incorrectly. No gradients on ship selection (may be because of no hardware support). Pause menu does not appear in-game on pressing escape.

Hardware mode works fine in the latest WIP:
Re: dgVoodoo 2.6.x and related WIP versions

The attachment Asteroids 2020-01-14 17-28-02-93.jpg is no longer available

Pause menu and options menu do seem to be broken (in software mode).

There doesn't appear to be any gradients on ship selection in software mode with DxWnd either, so I'm guessing the software render isn't supposed to have them there.

I suspected the gradients were "hardware only." Why? Who knows.

I used the WIP70 to emulate the hardware graphics and DxWnd to emulate the CD drive (for redbook). It is fully working now.

Thanks for the assist.
