Helpful suggestion on disabling the SLI. I didn't know about that variable. But nah... Dreams to Reality still won't work on the Voodoo2s. For the time being, I guess Dreams to Reality is a Voodoo1-only game (until somehow we find a way to run it on Voodoo2 or above). Could you modify your list …

If you want to turn a 320x200 screen into a 1280x1000 screen use the following settings: fullresolution=1280x1024 output=direct3d scaler=none Instead, if you want to turn a 320x200 screen into a 1280x800 screen, use these settings: fullresolution=1280x1024 output=direct3d scaler=normal2x I don't …

Yes, newer nVidia cards work, but in your case you will probably have to rely on the monitor. Some do better than others. I see. I just happened to find this page though; it's about turning a PC into a high-end video scaler. Alas, the solution seems to accept only S-Video input, so I guess no hope …

LCDs aren't perfect, but DOSBox is excellent for 320x200 games if your native screen resolution is 1280x1024. DOSBox (yhkwong's build at least) can stretch the screen ratio by 5x4, turning a 320x200 screen into a 1280x1000 screen, almost completely filling the screen with razor-sharp pixels. Also, …

It seems that most of us choose to stick with CRT monitor to play old games, am I correct? See, old games are mostly low-res, and LCD doesn't do well with resolutions other than its native resolution. However, CRT seems to be getting more and more abandoned by hardware vendors. So if my CRT is …

Anyway, since the Banshees are in the mail, my interest in Voodoo Hardware is renewed, so I will share this quest to get Voodoo games working. Banshee is IIRC the most difficult of all Voodoos, so maybe we can use it as "yardstick" --if the GLide game works on Banshee, then it probably should work …

Great Hierophant, I assume Kreshna's comment referred to how one can use modified batch files to force a standard Voodoo2 to behave like a Voodoo1 from the perspective of a ? It did. Most of the "patches" for Voodoo2 or Voodoo3 are actually .BAT files to set environment variables. Come to think of …

However, the V3 might not work with very old DOS-based Glide games, they are only compatible with the original Voodoo1 PCI cards I have to concur with 5u3 here --there are quite a lot of DOS GLide games (and early Windows GLide games) that only works with Voodoo1 or Vooodo2. The problem with the …
