3dfxvgl isn't minigl. It is the full OGL ICD for Voodoo2. So - you CAN rename it to opengl32.dll. And glsetup can install it as the system OGL driver. Voodoo1/Rush/Banshee/3/4/5 uses 3dfxogl.dll but this .dll is the full OGL ICD too. Both .dlls execute some (all?) opengl calls through glide3x calls …

Admittedly, I don't know much about DX10 or 11, but as old as Zeckensack's is, would DX11 be called when it predates it? I could generate a log for Zeckensack's, if it would help. Zeckensack's is a Glide 2.4x to OpenGL 1.x wrapper. So no, I don't see how that could be. PS. Why does this MoE.log …

I think this has been asked already but will any of the previous dgVoodoo 1 features ever return for dgVoodoo 2? Or are they just too old? - 32-bit NTVDM support from glide.ovl / glide2x.ovl / glide3x(?).ovl to Glide.dll / Glide2x.dll / Glide3x.dll - dgvesa - others? Or else will it be possible to …

However: Experimentally you can replace the GLIDE2X.DLL file in Glidos or in dgVoodoo with an alternative wrapper file. This could break Glidos or dgVoodoo in non-obvious ways: the way the OVL communicates with the DLL had been a closed-source secret until DOSBox released its Glide wrapper patch, …

I thought this would be important enough to post here. Dege just released dgVoodoo 2.4, which is a Glide wrapper which wraps 3dfx Glide 2.1x, Glide 2.4x and Glide 3.x to Direct3D 11 (requiring Direct3D 10.1 hardware). Well, the relevant news is: First version of DirectX 5, 6 and 7 support is added. …

Why dgV1.x/Zeck wrappers still? I wasn't able to get 3dfx running with anything other than those so that's probably the reason. But that was only my own experience, and while it may be typical, YMMV. I find it hard to believe. nGlide's compatibility list is rather monstrous: http://www.zeus- …
