Openglide on MacOS X

[gulikoza]

Here's what I've been able to test: http://www.si-gamer.net/gulikoza/glide.html Of course I might need to add some MacOS screenshots now

At least you show the same black faults in Lands of Lore as appear here on my screen

Glidos, any chance of getting this one in the cvs as well?

[Dominus]

yes, please

[gulikoza]

Thanks Glidos! Patch is now in cvs

[Dominus]

Please see this thread viewtopic.php?t=25888 for how to fix the GL_EXT_packed_pixels error
Probably needs an ifdef macosx for that.

What about MacGlide? Have the improvements from it been ported to OpenGlide?
I vaguely remember an initiative to do that.

[Dominus]

for modern Macs the MacGlide is almost useless, a few months ago, when I tried the various ways to play glide games on the mac I remember MacGlide not being much of a help.
For Dosbox I wasn't able to pull it off with MacGlide, for Windows 9x games (and upwards) I used Wine+some Windows glidewrapper (it depended on the games I tried which wrapper worked better).

To my knowledge, gulikoza & Moe were working on an SDL-based OpenGLide/MacGLide hybrid with better compatibility. With the proper tweaks it should theoretically be possible to compile his custom MacGLide sourcecode for Mac OS X as well.

I have sent gulikoza a message and asked him for the source but he's currently away on a roadtrip and will not be back until the end of the month, so I guess we'll have to wait and see.

I'm back
I was trying a while ago to release the modifications me & Moe have done. But unfortunately there is a nasty bug where Tomb Rider does not have any textures when starting a new game (loading savegames works however) - something is apparently not reset when glide is reset (remember that starting a new games first shuts down glide, plays the intro movie and then reinitializes glide output - loading a savegame goes directly into the game), so this bug most likely affects other things as well. I couldn't fix it and I still didn't fix it...and LFB operations are horribly broken so the whole thing is not very useful...
