Re: Which one do you guys prefer? Redguard FMV

I don't think you'll see any improvement from a simple reencoding. More likely you'll see a loss of quality. You need to apply some sort of advanced upscaler. Also mkv and f4v are container formats. They don't determine the type of compression used.

VDos32 is pretty much dead now. It works only under old 32bit Windows. It's a shame because, although very restrictive in what games it supported, it could be wildly faster than dosbox.

I've run into problems with fog in psVoodoo that showed up in Redguard. I never managed to make psVoodoo work as well as OpenGlide in that respect. Is the game applying fog to polygons with points that differ by large amounts in z?

Thanks robertmo for drawing my attention to this. Very interesting. kjliew, I particularly enjoyed reading how you just wanted to play a particular game with accelerated 3D and sort of got carried away. Exactly how Glidos came about.

For Glidos, you could stick the GlidosID in a text file on a USB stick to transfer it to your work machine and then bring back the unlock code the same way. Vdos32 will be problematic, but that's rarely used these days because it works only on 32bit versions of Windows.

Sure. Thanks. It's great to see someone reviving the project. I'm happy to take the patch, but I'm interested to know what the problem with github is.

Yes it was a combination of Glide and DOS. There was no other Glide wrapper that worked with DOS games at the time

Sadly, vdos32 is a dead project. There seems to be no way to make it work under 64bit versions of Windows, so it is only a few people now who get to use it. When a cpu is running in 32bit mode, there is an on-chip table called the local descriptor table. vdos32 cannot work without access to this and …

I fixed the border problem in Direct3D (psVoodoo) mode by changing the resolution to 1600x1200. Everything looks really nice, but why is there a freeze/delay at the start of each level or when I load up the inventory? There is like a 3-4sec delay. Also, the menu texts & health bar are not displayed …

Some problems running TR1 (gog verison) with GLIDOS. I'm on windows 10. Not sure if these are related to Windows 10. I've had a few reports of its being problem free from others. 1.) GLIDOS logo is appearing even after using the two codes I have left for GLIDOS (I purchased the service). At first …

The tool creates an "old-style" texture pack, so you need to check that option in Glidos. Old-style don't use an equiv map. To find out about the new-style texture packs and equiv files etc, search the forum for equiv

Another way to capture the textures from a level is to use the GenEquivMap tool. I've attached the latest copy.

It didn't work. I didn't even have any .ini files in my Redguard/sound directory. So I just added the ones you attached. But it crashed again, this time though there was a message box, which said: "Error: Gu3dfGetInfo called" Then it crashed :( That error is Glidos warning that Redguard called a …

I bet that's all down to not having the sound set up incorrectly. I'm not sure if it will work, but here's something worth a try. Look in the directory Redguard\sound and find the files MDI.INI and DIG.INI . Move them somewhere safe, and then replace them with the versions in the archive attached to …
