Re: IPF support

Well, that got lively fast. Frankly, I'm puzzled why there seems to be such a frequent streak of hostility on these forums. Be that as it may, let me try and address various points made here. You know what, before going deeper into this, you should compile a list of games that *really* need this …

This topic is highly relevant to my interests, so here are my 2 cents on it. I've recently bought a KryoFlux for DOS game preservation purposes, as it represents the state of the art in that area and I have quite a lot of preserving to do. As part of that preservation effort I intend to submit them …

Thanks for the patches! I was in luck; copying glide2x.ovl version 2.61 into the game directory and running it with voodo2c.exe -vrush worked great with the Voodoo3. No gfx issues that I could find, and no crashes in my brief testing. Looks like it's good to have two generations of Voodoo in a retro …

I can force the first error ("Unable to load DLL") by renaming Glide2x.ovl file. To force the second error ("expected Voodoo, none detected"), I had to remove my Voodoo^2. So it is definitely a hardware detection problem. I'm having a hard time believing just how flaky this stuff is... I used to …

Carmageddon Max Pack 3dfx problem in real DOS

Posted on 2011-05-22, 11:14

in DOS
Having gotten the solution to my previous 3dfx question regarding Tomb Raider in real DOS, I'll go ahead and try my luck again with a different problem :-) The situation: P3-550MHz, running pure DOS 6.22, no Windows installation present on the partition whatsoever. Equipped with an AGP Voodoo3 card …

Re: Tomb Raider inventory hang with Voodoo3 3000 and Glide patch

You, sir, work miracles. I'm now running Glide Tomb Raider in pure DOS with the Voodoo card, correct palette and everything. Those timing delay variables look arbitrary, but probably aren't. How did you arrive at those? (Now, next thing is to try and make Carmageddon not hang after displaying the …

Nope, definitely not a gamma issue. Gamma has to do with the luminance of the images after all, and this is definitely a case of the color palette gone wrong. I did try the batch file just in case Voodoo does odd things with gamma values, but all it did was affect the luminance. I'm going to test …

Getting close... So, I got my hands on a Voodoo card, an Orchid Righteous 3D. Just arrived in the mail (great timing). I chained the Voodoo and the Voodoo3 and booted to DOS 6.22. There's no Windows installation on the same partition at all, so pure DOS. Downloaded the Orchid glide2x.ovl from …
