Or a wacky way to support "HD" resolutions with 2D elements scaled since Sin didn't have any on the list, or GoG ignorantly assumed it was a Glide game. There is quality loss going that path anyway since Sin does have a lot of 24/32-bit textures, to the point the software mode has unique palettes …

Probably some initialization screwup. It literally does a vid_restart to your preferred mode or whatever after logging in. I've had this mess up on an actual Voodoo2 before where it would lead to the DOS text mode displaying 2 screen buffers of the Sin menu Dunno why you want to run Sin in a Glide …

The funny thing, the original games' graphics can be rendered in real-time with today's budget hardware and probably even some of the smaller ones.

Emulation isn't perfect. DOSBox isn't accurate on the whole per-clock thing where you'll always need to adjust your cycles. It is a nice convenience though and is great for newcomers who don't want all this TSR/memory configuration bullshit to play a game they missed out on (except for rare cases …
