Crashes at launch.

It works fine with DxWrapper and WineD3D, but also crashes with cnc-ddraw, so it probably does something slightly weird.

Request (maybe already asked): add a GeForce2 Ultra (64 MB - DX7-only compliant) preset

You should probably say what you need this for, that the existing options don't already cover.

Codename Outbreak crashes @start with more than 128 MB of VRAM.

Then just edit the VRAM value of another card?

Yes, but think about people not wanting to "mess with options".
Or Dege could fix that: Codename Outbreak 2.1/2.2.

I think a GeForce 2 Ultra / Radeon 7500 preset could be a good thing.

That's who I was thinking of. Adding more graphic cards would be adding more options, and not very useful since the box isn't likely to list that graphic card (the box for Codename: Outbreak doesn't even list the GeForce2 Ultra).

Unless you want to add all of them which is even more options.

A "well know" preset for DX7-era GPUs (VGAs?) doesn't seem excessive. Max is 2 (GeForce 2 Ultra / Radeon 7500), just like GeForce4 Ti 4800 / Radeon 8500.
