Re: Radeon & GeForce texture filtering quality

Posted on 2019-09-22, 00:00

I've studied the GeforceFX's filtering at one point. It's the same variable-steps-between-texel-color-difference stuff the PowerVRs do but with a higher max. The blockiness is most visible on lightmaps with smooth light changes gffx-texel16overblended.png gffx-texel.png geforc.png I had originally …

Re: Geforce 2MX 100/200 for DOS Pentium II 233mhz

I'd never consider Geforce for playing anything 90s particularly for the slow palette handling in Windows. For example, a lot of the "Dosbox is slow!!" threads have been made on Geforces. The issue runs deep down to the earlier detonators. I'm thinking about Windows 9X as a DOS-only P2 machine with …

Well, it's much less about glide optimization and more about Tim learning Direct3D. Unreal wasn't always fully glide optimized either (and regressed some visuals in the glide driver in some patches as well) Don't forget to look into the advanced options for Direct3D (can quickly get there by typing …

Depends. v15's new dynarec is really nice for a lot of the mid-90s' stuff that struggled before (eradicator is smooth now!) but there's some sound issues that crop up for some games that will make you hang onto v14 for. Also some 92-95 packard boards are emulated :) only tried hillary though. it's …

PCem makes my boxes dusty, though i've 'given up' probably around 10 years ago. I don't have complete dedicated desks to the machines anymore and I haven't seeked out old parts for a long time (and most of my old parts were obtained when they were new)

UT != Blood 2. UT had enough QA and devtime to iron stuff out for 400. Feedback from several earlier demo releases from 322 to 348 helped this, and it's less about GT Interactive in this case, and Blood 2 being bad isn't entirely GT's fault...

Re: For Duke Nukem 3D/classic first person shooter fans

Duke3D to me was about the Heretic-ish weapons/items variety in somewhat realistic environments. Protagonist with a mouth does not a spiritual sequel make, and every Duke3D level remake in some other game i've ever seen overdo the smutty aspect than anything else as there's fans that think Duke3D is …

Re: Ancient DOS Games Webshow

The thing is, Youtube's a very powerful tool, and as a showrunner, you bear the responsibility of having an opinion that many younger fans would find and treat as the authority. I've had situations where my first-hand experiences were disputed by someone parroting misinformation from a DFRetro video …
