After your modern source ports are done, an S3D Toolkit wrapper for the other closed-source games might be cool, if possible 😉

I want to let VOGONS know that your copy of the S3 S3D Toolkit (S3 ViRGE) was a lifesaver! I'm currently working on a modern port of Terminal Velocity, Fury3, and Hellbender. (Yes, I have the source code now.) Hellbender included the sources to the S3 Virge renderer for Terminal Velocity, and I'm …

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that there isn't a subforum here for NTVDM. :) Yeah, because originally NTVDM WAS one of the main focuses, so it didn't need a subforum, it WAS the forum. :D The NTVDM support of VOGONS forums basically turned into the following: The Guide -> DOS: "Getting old DOS …

NTVDM being a total crapshoot is entirely why VOGONS was started in the first place, to trade tips/hacks/patches/fixes to get old DOS games working in NTVDM. Aaaand within a few months we absorbed DOSBox's support forums. 😁

My guess was he wanted to power it with DOSBox because he didn't want to spend any money on an operating system. To install Windows 98 Second Edition legally, you'd need to find some place to buy it online. I'm still a bit lost with the second part of the plan: you're going to create DOS games as a …

Ha, found this thread by accident, 2 1/2 years after the last post... I'm actually the developer for the Rendition port of IndyCar Racing II and NASCAR Racing 2, in 1996. I know that the 3D hardware access in those games (same code) was extremely low level, I wrote code to manage virtual memory to …
