Hello, i'm on my little project with transforming old useless laptop into old-games-gaming-machine.

First of all my config:

1Dell Latitude D800
2Screen: 15,9 - 1680x1050
3Intel Pentium M Processor 1.60 GHz
4NVIDIA GeForce4 4200 Go (Forceware 67.42)
5OpenGL version maximum 1.5
6DirectX version maximum 8.1
71Gb DDR-SDRAM (PC2700)
8Chipset: Intel i855PM + 82801DB (ICH4-M)
9Audio: SigmaTel AC97 (AC9750/51)
10HDD: Hitachi HTS541680J9AT00
11DVD: HL-DT-ST DVD+RW GCA-4040N
12OS: Windows XP \ Windows 98 SE

I know that most of glide emulators require DX9 card, but still may be there is a chance to use mine? I installed GlideWrapper084c.exe and was able to run original, unpatched unreal and it works fine. But Test Drive 4 shows this:

And chance to have proper cars in glide emulation on my laptop? Thx.

Or, if this is absolutely impossible, is there any list of games that have problems with 8.1 card and glide emulator? Like TD4

Try DGvoodoo 1.50 (2007) or Zeckensack aka glidewrapper084c (2005). Those would be the most compatible.

Dgvoodoo 2 and nglide have progressed much further but are not compatible with that card\DX version.

If you experience the same bug with Dgvoodoo 1.50 you could try asking Dege about it but not sure if he still supports developing for that version.

You might like this post, though it takes ten paragraphs to get to what DosFreak says in five sentences:

psVoodoo is also an option, which works with Direct3D / Pixel shader 1.x

The documentation states it's "mostly DirectX 9" though...

Doesn't mean it won't work with DX8 cards. I tried it w/ |_|1tim@73 2@(3 P20 on a Radeon 9000 the other day, the artfiact I noticed was the green fog

I seem to recall using XGL200, way back, though the only thing I used it for was Glide support for CTHUGHA

No, nGlide works with dx8/8.1 cards (I have used Radeon 8500 LE with nGlide 1.00 IIRC). The trouble is - most games need the PS2.x model for all/correct graphics.

Asus P4P800 SE/Pentium4 3.2E/2 Gb DDR400B,
Radeon HD3850 Agp (Sapphire), Catalyst 14.4 (XpProSp3).
Voodoo2 12 MB SLI, Win2k drivers 1.02.00 (XpProSp3).
