This works with everything, almost: https://github.com/elishacloud/dxwrapper/wiki/Star-Trek-Armada-1 I do have a problem if STIntro.bik is in animations folder and OS is Win10. But other than that, above wrapper just works fine in Win7 and Win11 for AMD, nVidia, intel GPU. I think I've got all Star …

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately I already reverted to Windows 11 21H2 so I cannot test it. (And I don't plan to install the update anytime soon) Probably I will try it again next year, probably.

I use retail CD-ROM version with no-cd fix. For Windows 7~11(before 22H2 update), the game will play pre-rendered video if I placed two old quicktime files in BIN folder (see attachment). Dgvoodoo is also used but I think it has nothing to do with the videos here. After Windows 11 22H2 update, the …

Is it possible to make it work like: if a ini file exists, use ini for text only config. Otherwise, use conf file anyway. (so binary format is still supported in conf.)

Actually this game has no in-game resolution setting, it was default to 640x480 and can't be changed. I tried 2x, still has that glitch. Thanks any way, I understand not everything can be fixed.

Dgvoodoo2 is optional. But a ddraw wrapper is required and you need to hexedit the game exe. Please check here: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=79966 https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=28068 There is a problem that the game has many variant versions (US 1.01, EU 1.03, DE 1.03, US …

Hi, I don't have such problem. Perhaps you could try my guide here: Optional: Since the other guide is very complicated, you might want to backup your current installation.

I only use either glide or ddraw dll independently, so they won't be together at the same time. When I want to use glide, ddraw.dll should not be required. vise versa. (or am I mistaken here?) Anyway, place all of them in the folder does not change results. Very curious indeed. 😉

I was using 2.78 for this. That dll was copied from other games folder, which I think was downloaded from your site long time ago... This laptop has intel HD 520, could that be a problem? I remember intel graphics are notorious for some old games...
