Duke never had a glide patch, and Voodoo patches for Blood and Shadow Warrior tends to result with even lower framerates than in software. It's mostly for the "HAHAHA 16-bit 3DFX BILINEAR FILTERING RULES!!!" novelty than anything else. To speed up BUILD games you're better off with something VESA …

Yeah, if you take out the battery or have a defective one 😀 Try using the AMI 486 Clone bios instead, which should show up with some better Y2K compliance.

AMI486 WinBIOS doesn't have the date working IIRC. It'd keep going to 1980. I think it's a known issue already

Does it emulate the slanted bilinear filtering too? Does it make use of SSE2? Does it run Battle for Naboo, Mario Tennis and Indiana Jones?

I'd recommend QEMU over Bochs, personally. Bochs seems more like a reference emulator to learn and pick apart from with a focus on being in C for as many platforms as possible rather than something usable for general purpose, which makes me believe the people that recommend Bochs never used it …

The problem with SDL, is when it's actually an SDL issue, it's easier for SDL devs to blame and torment than to actually fix things, because of "wait for the rewrite 1.2/2.0/3.0 etc" like for example, when SDL causes input lag for framerates under 40, the suggestion is to "fix Windows oh wait you …

r_glDriver's gone in those last ones, since there's no really need for that in the post-Voodoo2 era as Voodoo3 can still work with those games (besides the 512 requiring CoD) You're going to have to take back that "No" and rename it in the game folder if you want it to work on V2. Since V2 is a …

I just tried Wipeout XL with the PCX2 in a P4.... even in 640x480 it'll run at a playable 20-30fps, theory works but you have to put up with the lack of additive blend for the effects. 😀

I can't test this theory right now though, my fast PowerVR system has a Geforce card at the moment (which makes PVR D3D HAL crash)

It may be "nice" but that InControl99 is a real jerk of a panel when it comes to stability. I would prefer the older S3 cards for such a machine.

I'll be an oddball and suggest a PowerVR PCX2 to act as a GPU bottleneck. It usually does 21fps at best in 1024x768 and it can run Wipeout 2 at that resolution.

A PhysX card would have a place in a Core2Duo , Phenom or some other multi-core era enthusiast setup. The actual use of the card would be in a few 'cosmetic physics heavy' games like Borderlands 2 and......... uhm.......... yeah, Borderlands 2. PhysX is evil. Not many games use it because it's …

I was hit with the ContentID crap too when I had a SNES SPC RENDITION of Ride of the Valkyries for a Terraria video. Probably the same "collecting rights society" too. More recently, contentID identified that MDK Aug 1996 video I recorded to be content from the menandmotors youtube channel. WTF?!
