Monster Truck Madness 1 and 2 and Gpolice are some games that I faced these textures issues. Haven't noticed on others so far.
GTx 1660, black textures missing on DX5-6 games
Posted on 2024-01-02, 16:12
I recently replaced my GTX460 with a GTX1660. All is fine except for missing black textures on DX 5 and 6 games. Using dgvoodoo2 in these games fixes the issue, but in a few cases other non-graphical related issues arrise. This never happened with my GTX460. I'm on Win 7 64 bits using the 474.11 …

RReady listed on the first page will run Rendition apps on nvidia and amd gpus., though at the moment only Windows Rendition apps. Wow! It does work great already. Just tried it with SODA Off Road Racing and it works out of the box. Is it possible to remove the overlay text? Just out of curiosity, …

What do you mean by "other cards"? Others than Rendition (I believe only nVidia and AMD are our choices for the daily PC, now). RReady listed on the first page will run Rendition apps on nvidia and amd gpus., though at the moment only Windows Rendition apps. Wow! It does work great already. Just …

I have to say this seems promising, but sadly I have no Rendition cards to test it. Nevertheless, I would like to ask if a Rendition wrapper for those who have other cards could be expected?

Since I moved from Win9x to XP I was looking for a way to keep my games working on the new OS and came across the forum. Since then I've been able to keep almost everything working as the forum provided some very useful resources and still does.

winevdm (otvdm) is also an awesome alternative for 16-bits and is working with every win 3.x game I tried: https://github.com/otya128/winevdm/releases Eventual experimental builds: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/otya128/winev … build/artifacts

Annoying issue with SDL2
Posted on 2023-09-10, 03:16
I've been experiencing an annoying issue with SDL2 games for quite a while. However, the affected titles are not as many as it used to be. The issue is a sound cut-0ff which occurs about 5 to 10 seconds of playing. A few SDL2 releases ago I had to set an environment variable to force SDL audiodriver …

Apparently there might be a way: https://github.com/vxiiduu/VxKex/releases Sounds very interesting and promising.

Ok, at least Hellbender's original version still has some good graphics (with minor glitches on modern systems, though). BTW, Fury3's level ending device still remained on TV's missions after removing STARTUP.POD.

Dark Forces for mac also has a hi-res HUD. Lucius said he will add support for loading Mac data files in the future on The Force Engine.

I wonder if the same could be done with Hellbender since just adding the game's pod to the ini didn't make a difference and there are no vox files on any of the game's folder.

It'd be nice if we could alternate between TV and Fury3 graphics and sounds on the fly as adding the Fury3 files replaces a few graphics and sounds on TV's original levels. Just don't use the STARTUP.POD from Fury³ and you should stick to the assets from Terminal Velocity for projectiles, powerup …

I just tried, but it just seems to ignore those files as the new menu won't show up. That's a real shame, I guess there's no modding support for the re-release... Fury3 as a mod seems to work. Just that there are seemingly three places where TV-Boosted-edition searches for files. By trial and error …

I'm still curious if anybody from around here tried my instructions earlier in the thread to load custom PODs and define new episodes on "Boosted Edition", I don't own it myself and I can't afford to buy anything and likely can't for a long time. You can just omit the levels I included from …

Interstate '82 - Game crashes when player runs into anything while on foot.

Limiting the framerate stops the game from crashing (without EmulateHeap). I …

But to enjoy that (hypothetical) high-res textures, the renderer should not be locked at 360p... As an S3 Virge freak, getting something lower than 640x480 sounds promising. What is 360p in this case? Is it just cropped 640x480 to 640x360 (quarter of the entry-level HD resolution 1280 x 720), or is …
