TW: the word 'just' I still don't get why the Glide OpenGL emulation can't just be rendered into a texture buffer to copy over to the normal OpenGL screen buffer as a stretched quad.... you don't really need offscreen rendering for it either. Sure it won't use the scalers, but that's what GLSL …

Try using a different output than surface, because fullscreen palette changing operations may interfere with your nvidia card's performance.

There is an available playable previous incarnation at least, which should play the same but perform and look worse. OA3's not released yet since there's not enough weapons modeled ATM. What's left for that at the time of this writing: - Gauntlet (which will be a drill)(actually modeled but not …

Looking on my Voodoo3's 3dfx tools there are these settings - Normal = 4x1 linear filter (what you're witnessing on the Voodoo2, lines included) - High = 2x2 box filter and the high filter is nothing like the 4x1 previously mentioned. The Voodoo3 did not first introduce that filter. also it does …

PCem's S3D emulation is maturing, could possibly have a wrapper backport maybe some day 😀

or id Tech2-based games since they all ship with a 3dfx MiniGL that links to Glide2x, using this 4x1 filter automatically. It's not an anachronism. It's not "22-bit".

This effect is very visible on a CRT btw. I even wrote a pixel shader to replicate this filter effect, studied off my own Voodoo2

Voodoo Graphics cards always had the characteristic look of blurring 4 pixels to the right per 1 vertical line. If your voodoo is showing these 'lines' then there is nothing wrong with it 😀

Intended feature, it's the 4x1 DAC filter smoothing out the dithering to approximate a 24-bit picture. Most older Glide games activate this. Direct3D and OpenGL (ICD - not MiniGL) games don't activate this. Thanks for the photos 😀
