It's what i've been working on lately, because this sucks . It's old, messy and needs a critical original refresh that does not change the rules unlike some other game out there Engine doesn't work on 9X atm , requires XP, and I hate the regressions that have occured to it. I wish I had help on that …

If you absodamnlutely want the full version, buy Shadows of the Serpent Riders, which sells in retail and appears as a gray book with a skull as its cover art. You can't mistake it for any shareware releases. Remember that the original Heretic was a mail order only deal which cannot be found retail. …

A PCI SBPCI 128 can work (Motherboards may vary - mine's SiS-based). Still would need that "sblive crash fix" though, but NOLFB and the other "make game work xp!!!!" fixes aren't needed for 9X on very very fast machines. I don't consider VDMSound as an option. Never have, never will.

Deus Ex was a dog on every computer in its day, one of the early demanding games prior to Giants in the same year. Not even a Geforce2 will help it.

The Voodoo2 being a secondary video device, will show up appropriately as a second non-primary display device for Direct3D giving priority to the Geforce, and to use in OpenGL you'd have to use a MiniGL or a separate OpenGL ICD to explicitly use the Voodoo (though some games are stupid to default to …

don't forget to tape your favorite jumper and bios settings. Also, I still remember a lot of the detailed specs of my old computers from then, well much less so the OEM junkers I used before I went all custom 486 and after.

Maybe for WinNT-based early OpenGL ICD curiosity, but that would just be the usual Quake games and its derivatives. Though I do wonder if workstation equivalents of today's DX11 hardware suffer the same depth inprecision issues....
