Re: Some glide wrappers

Posted on 2002-10-02, 18:55

Which is probably why it was called "Radeon Glide Wrapper" and why the ReadMe said "!!!ATI Radeon only!!!" *stares at Stiletto* Heh. Well, he didn't say WHY... :) Anyhow, to my credit, I'd forgotten about vendor-specific GL-extensions (I'd think most programmers would like to avoid them whenever …

Wish it were mine to claim. 🙁 Google Groups traces the term back to at least 1996. http://groups.google.com/groups?q=%22The+Grea … rt=100&filter=0 It obviously existed in the tech sector before that, but I'm not too keen on tracing it.

Finally found out why (from my email conversation with the author): Originally written by Zeckensack >A question I've wanted to ask: what makes your Glide wrapper >Radeon-only? > >- Stiletto It uses ATI-specific OGL extensions for the combiner emulation. ATIX_texture_env_combine3 for Radeon1/ …

Wait a minute, why does it SLOW gameplay? Shouldn't it slow it down to the point that it works perfectly (haven't tried to run Jazz yet so don't know if it runs insanely fast on a 1.6 GHZ) Alright, here's the deal as I understand it. Perhaps I'm wrong. 1. Jazz is written in Borland Pascal. 2. Jazz …

Yeah, I thought about combining them, but it's an insanely difficult thing to do...*sigh* I wouldn't say that... 1. Take "Open" from "OpenGL". 2. Either: a. determine the font used in the 3dfx logo and write the word "Glide" or b. create the word "Glide" by cutting-and-pasting letters and fragments …

As far as I know, it is the driver that reads these, and so they make no difference to the behaviour of Glidos/OpenGlide. I guess there could be useful information in these variables that could be used by a wrapper, but Glidos and OpenGLide don't. *Adds to To-Do list "Make list of VoodooX command …

When you restart your computer, is any of your data that was loaded in memory when you restarted still there? No, I didn't think so. Edited your analogy a bit. And in answer, semiconductor and memory manufacturers are working on that. Some sort of static RAM (SRAM). So when you turn your computer …

It did however read the SST variables. Smokeypoint worked on that. I've been meaning to ask about that. Paul, if a game is trying to set the SST variables via a batch file, etc., or expects them to be already set, are there any corresponding settings that GLIDOS/OpenGlide should alter? Is there any …

so why don't you chill out. Heh, you must have misinterpreted me. When I said "what, exactly, is your problem" I wasn't trying to be demeaning. I just wanted to know what your problem is - why you'd want sound card emulation in DOS. Another thing, I'm not providing all that useless information …

Alter the Make file to optionally use/don't use the MMX code and optionally create/don't create a window? Then Paul's code and OpenGlide's code could co-exist. ... Can you compile OpenGlide using MingW?

What the hell is sst1init.dll? Paul? */me digs* Dynamic library for SST1 chip. Paul, if POD requires this file, um, what can be done about it? I know it requires the file for the install cheat, just not sure about the actual game running... Eureka! ss1init.dll is not needed for POD to run, the …
