Tomb Raider 1 came out a few years later with the first trilogy. It can run in widescreen in 32 bits in 1920*1080 and it can skip videos. Here in Qemu for me it's only playable in software mode in 640*480, but this is what the Rave emulation looks like at the moment.

The readme file says you run the exe in native Dos and press F to flash the bios. If your goal is to edit the bios I guess you can dump it after you flashed it and then edit your backup and flash the bios again with the edited one.

I'm not sure what your issue was with the bios but the bios of the Creative 256 DDR and SDR is on the driver cd. I copied it on archive.org. https://archive.org/details/creative-geforce- … 56-bios-drivers

You need to run this: Tombpcx2 uvbe I'm not sure if you also need to press F8 as well. You can also set higher refresh rates, for example if you run "Uvconfig -e120" and then "Tombpcx2 uvbe" it will run in 120 Hz in some resolutions.

Alone in the Dark was in Vga on PC but it had a better resolution on a Mac. Characters and objects were in 3d rendered on 2d levels. I can't find what resolution it was but I doubt it was svga. The Mac version came out in 1993. In 1994 Little Big Adventure 1 had 3d characters in Svga on isometric …

The Pentium 133 was around with Windows 95 not 98, you're going to be frustrated with 3d games. The cpu matters a lot for the graphics card to render fast. If you upgrade to a Pentium MMX or K6 around 266 Mhz most games will start getting playable with an S3 Virge (although not as fast as with a …

Games with acceleration that can run without, there's the series of car games Screamer 1, 2 and Rally, Destruction Derby 2. In 2d Theme Hospital, Fallout 1, Monkey Island 3. Older Dos games have …

It depends if you just want to play a specific game, or if you want to run it in a VM, or if it's specifically about Nvidia drivers. If it's an old game, PCem (and 86box) can emulate up to a 3dfx voodoo 3 with a Pentium 2. If the game is a bit more recent, dgvoodoo can run anything but it's not a VM …

With the software version I don't think you can show the fps but there are patches for many graphics cards from that time that show the fps when you press F2. Maybe it's a different key but it's usually F1, F2, F3 or F4, I think one version has keys like shift+F6 or F7. The patch notes usually say …

There are other drivers versions but I'm not sure if these drivers are official or not. The readme doesn't call them Detonator but it says copyright Nvidia.

I've gathered many patch versions of Tomb Raider 1 for the different graphics cards, and the Mystique patches have a different Matrox splash screen in version 1.02 and 1.03. The animation of the letters is different and slower in 1.02. Previous versions don't have a splash screen. There are other …

Crime Cities comes with the Techland MiniGL driver for the Mystique (along with S3 Virge, PowerVR, 3dfx and the D3d wrapper), so maybe there's a way to use the driver with games like Quake, Unreal or Half-Life. The game was free on Gog a few weeks ago. I haven't had time to test yet. Back then I …

Tomb Raider has an undocumented PC98 compatibilty mode with the PowerVR patches. You start it with "tombpcx2 pc98", the pcx1 version has it too.
