Re: 3dfx filter shader!
Posted on 2014-03-08, 21:03
Fake trilinear is possible if it wasn't a postprocess shader but a shader applied to every triangle. Thsi proves it's possible to select different mips and the fake trilinear can be done via some sort of dither table between them. Somehow. However since this is a post-process shader thread, it's not …

I've actually did try that a page back with poor results since this multipass shader doesn't work as well when it's one. The 4x1 filter is linear and needs to be applied four times.

Updated the screenshot since I just simply direclty ported my filter code from the other version with better results 😀 Still lost on dithering.

It's a shame opengl never had standardized EMBM extensions. I would've jumped on doing that water effect immediately.

486: a 486VIP w/ AM5x86-P75 @ 160MHz with a PCI S3 ViRGE 2MB + PCI 3dfx Voodoo2 12MB, 32MB EDO, AWE32 8MB One could question the point of a Voodoo2 in a 486, but it comes in handy for some of those Activision simulators with poor software renderers, and also allows Quake to be played much better …

What about the one model up - G100A? I never got MSI working on that but it has alot of the same Mystique limitations. It's also fast and sharp 😀

It's always as slow whether you throw a Pentium 100MHz or a Pentium IV 3200MHz at a "Web-enabled" explorer window. Might be a hard drive thing though. Windows loads the web shell stuff out of multiple different files in a system subfolder

Win98SE is fine on a Pentium, i've used it on a 100mhz, 150mhz and 166mhz without much performance issue. They all performed around the same to me. cache modules definitely do help though

It's totally possible to run Keen 4 natively on Pentium IV-based hardware (along with certain PCI sound cards and Windows 98). The only real challenge is finding a decent video card that doesn't garble the text or stutter the scrolling. 😀
