You could also use one of the later modified yhkwong builds by truth5678 which handles the 3dfx Voodoo device better.

SSE2 is nice for handling bilinear filtering. You might want to look into Darkplaces - it has a SOFTRAST driver which attempts to do the 'modern 3d graphics' with multi-threading and SSE2 so it does take advantage of the CPU. It could serve as a nice 'what if 3d cards never existed', and it is …

I would put out a release right now however the 'default video mode' stuff is bugged. I think people would hate the engine starting up on a 640x480 window always.

Outlaws also has old Glide support for Voodoo1 which won't function on Voodoo2 and later. Outlaws also has a glide2x driver that works however.

You'd need a Pentium II 233MHz and a decent VESA 2.0 video card then. 15bpp additive/subtractive blending can be expensive, and since palettes are dynamic, there's no chance of doing lookup optimizations.

Back on the topic of ZSNES though, what system specifications would have been recommended for say Super Mario World on an older version? A Pentium MMX @ 166MHz would be 'fine' for most of the SNES library played in 320x240x8 without transparency effects. MMX is essential, as ZSNES is heavily coded …

ZSNES was a huge breath of fresh air with sound near the end of 1997, along with the brand new SNES9X with sound (anyone remember the UMK3 non stop laughing bug?). UNtil that point, I was just using Esnes without any sound and subpar framerates playing stuff like Final Fantasy VI at 7fps 😁

a) Yeah it does have that "german killerspiele" design to it where all your enemies aren't human in the least. Most of the environments seem to be the same (until the green alien boss levels toward the end) and if you're not using the CD you're stuck to the same few ambient music tracks. It gets far …

This... could very well lead to all sorts of awesome. :D Here's hoping for something like Zdoom for A&A in terms of backend (dynamic hor+ aspect correction, 2d scaling) A polygonal renderer would be nice too, like some sort of Vavoom or Doomsday (But not as bad as either - Doomsday is a freaking …

Not to mention the "Shareware CD archive" which just...... isn't. archive.org has special DMCA exceptions and unfortunately it's being abused.
