OK, DosFreak, you're right, I should have said "Some areas of Vista are very different from XP", and I have no idea if that's true for DOS. But it still would have been nice if I could run TR1 on Vista! Anyway, just starting either the normal version of Tomb.exe, or the 3dfx enhanced version will …

Just wanted to let you know that it worked! I've installed version 45.33 of the Nvidia video driver, the earliest version to support DirectX 9, and Tomb Raider 1 is now running smoothly, and without any problems. And now for something completely different. Dege, did you know that TR1 doesn't run on …

Zebius, Dege, thanks for the tip. This computer is running XP SP2, and the very latest Nvidia drivers, Detonator version 81.98. That's me, I always update everything, but in the case of video card drivers I can see why that might be a problem for older hardware. I guess the Nvidia engineers probably …

We have two computers, one computer (with an ATI 9600 Pro 128 MB) runs dgVoodoo en Tomb Raider 1 just fine, but the other (with an Nvidia Geforce 2 MMX 32 MB) doesn't. If I start dgVoodoo+TR1 full screen, it starts TR1 (after showing the two movies) but then crashes with an error message like "NTVDM …

Yes, it worked for me as well! I just copied ICCVID.DLL to the ST folder where the EXE is located, and the videos showed perfectly. I think I found this file on the original XP disk in the 386 folder (use the RTM version, not the ones with SP2 integrated). It's called ICCVID.DL_ because it's …

This is great! To be honest, I'd given up on this. So the problem was SP2, eh? Well, I'm going to try this new solution as soon as possible.

I had exactly the same problem. The game seems to run fine under XP, but a number of videos don't show, just a black square, though audio works. Installing Indeo codecs didn't work. I never managed to solve the problem. I even tried it again on a fresh installation of XP, but that didn't make a …

Interesting... I've also got MS-DOS 6.22 installed on my new box, and it seems to work well. As a matter of fact, I can even run the 3dfx version of Tomb Raider 1, because I've found a Glide2x.ovl for my ancient Voodoo 2 that works with AMD chips. Pretty cool, actually! However, I've only been …

Take a deep breath, Snover! Calm down! I had no problem getting to Slashdot just minutes ago. I think the're experiencing some problems, but when you wait, you probably will get through.

It's called OpenGlide because it translates Glide calls to OpenGL.

Dege, thanks for the quick reply. So copying your Glide.dll to the game folder was enough? I think I get it, as it's a Windows game, your Glide.dll is a wrapper, and uses OpenGL, or Direct3D? Sorry about the confusion, I'm used to using dgVoodoo with TR1, which is a DOS game. Anyway, Pandemonium 1 …

I've been trying out 1.31 on TR1, and it's still blue screening if I use VDD mode, but as it works without VDD mode, to me that's not a big problem. Even with this change in the recent ATI driver that makes TR1 no longer work in VDD mode, I still think Dege did an awesome job. Do keep up the good …

FSAA means 'Full Screen Anti Aliasing'. It will not increase the resolution, but it will make the display look better by smoothing the image. You can force FSAA by doing so in the driver of your video card.

Thanks, Dege, that did the trick! Isn't it weird that VDD mode doesn't work anymore in Catalyst 4.8, while it worked in 4.6? I understand VDD mode is actually preferable for some technical reason, but as long as we can use non-VDD mode, it's not a big deal. And who knows, somebody may find out …

Dege, I've been trying out Tombraider 1 with dgVoodoo 1.30c without the VDD option. As we know by now, VDD crashes on ATI's with Catalyst 4.8. When I switched this option off the first time, all textures and colors disappeared (a bit like wireframe), but when I went back to the default settings ( …

I found this article: http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/antidetect/. It mentions ati3duag.dll, and says it's "a uniform Direct3D driver for chips based on the R300 core and higher". I'm not sure that's helpful, though...
