Thx, first tests report a rather low compatibility. Mostly nothing works with it. Is there a list with working titles? I tested some demoscene stuff, perhaps that is too specific/hardcoded... Just check history.. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VKadOTgfs4kWNw_KDqZFXZVlNS7is2vU/edit?usp= …

@JH64 I tested new version with Vmware17.. During installation is some misleading info about not working PCI bus, i thing that it has to work because.. older version worked and other PCI virtual devices are working too.. Its not also compatible with Vmware windows resized, vertical lines got after …

Vmware driver is part of Virtual machine additions.. and when new modified SoftGPU driver is installed, old version is still used.. You can check it by driver date.. SoftGPU is 202x . Im not sure maybe its virtual graphics card even compatible with some in-build Win98 SE not VGA driver.. Its worth …

Check history, i once completely broke it just by game exit, my theory is bad refresh rate.. after that all good.. Dual graphics are not great, some bios have possibility to force Geforce all the time, some dont. I can only say that for me its working, as for others.. I did not installed it from the …

It's CMI8738. At least I could recognize the C-Media logo on the chip. You can try to search if this is compatible with AC97.. and if yes try SB-EMU driver.. I opened some datasheet and there is something about SPDF_AC97 register, but it does not have mean that its AC97 compatible device. Its based …

That's what that patch that I mentioned was for. I have this problem only with demo and patch does seems to be only for full version.. has anyone tried to play Another World?

Well if these 2 implementations could not be merged into working version, maybe its possible merge them with some optimal command line switch.. to use original (withoutt it) or craziis implementations with it.. I used for my testing simply most newer versions of HDPMI and JLOAD, regardless of …
