Re: Jagged Alliance 2 1.13 not working properly

Posted on 2018-02-03, 10:30

Thanks! Interestingly, with forced resolution, the game sometimes run properly sometimes don't. When certain elemets are missing then it's because the game sends invalid (empty) rectangles to DDraw for bitmap blitting. I don't yet know what it depends on. Also, ISF resolutions don't cause glitches …

Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11

Yes, the menu seems to support only 640x480 and 800x600. For this game you need to set 'MSD3DDeviceNames' to 'true' (use the latest WIP), otherwise it won't initialize and quits. With that enabled, the game works fine for me.

Try the attached .sdb compatibility file. It contains FaultTolerantHeap and WinXPSp2 fixes, but as CoolGamer said in an earlier post, EmulateHeap may also be needed. And single thread affinity. With this sdb installed I got it working with dgVoodoo on Win10. Well, more or less: I cannot guarantee it …

Rally Masters has no Glide support if I remember correctly, so there should be no conflict. dgVoodoo might not fire up for you for this game. Try the latest WIP build with the debug layer to see if any feedback is coming back from dgVoodoo.

Re: Virtual ATI Radeon 8500 VRAM Size

Those predefined memory size values were chosen to match that of real ATI Radeon 8500's, but you can type any value you want, for each video card types. 256 MB doesn't seem to be too small for old games except if you use extra large resolutions (set in the game, not forced through the CPL). But, …

The best and easiest way to run Mechwarrior 2 on winXP,Vista or win7 is to simply install Mechwarrior 2 through the latest MechVM program . Yes, I own the original non-3D accelerated version of Mechwarrior 2 for Dos and it works fine in Dos box. Not sure how well a Dos 3D accelerated version works …

Nice to learn something new about VMware's SVGA driver. I totally missed with that anti-aliasing guess, just an assumption from the error thrown by Unigine Heaven when trying to use it. Will be cool to see dgVoodoo in action on VMware. Win7 platform update fixed MS WARP, there were no problems with …

Motorhead: Maybe a problem with car shadows with the DirectX renderer? Is it the same natively? Raising output resolution only brings benefits to d3d games huh? Yes... For anything 2D you only get a blurrier appearance with potentially worse wrapper performance. I know this is probably a foolish …

Yes, UCyborg is right. DX11 is only the library frontend for dgVoodoo but DX11 can drive DX10-level GPU's (DDI or backend), and because of dgVoodoo support feature level 10.0, it should work. I have a Win7 SP1 virtual machine (re-)installation, with VMWare SVGA 3D driver. DX10 DDI is supported …

Bust a move 4 / Pubble Bobble 4 : bad performance, raising rendering resolution makes things even worse. It's a pure software rendered game so forcing resolution makes no sense here. Use pixel-multiplied output instead to avoid blurry appearance (ImageScaleFactor in the INI file). Performance is …

Raven Shied still has a problem (the old problem) loading a level in fullscreen mode :( And about RS, dege, take a look at this strange surface problem (simply rotating the viewport with the mouse): Up for this bug. BTW, with WIP41 I only get the fullscreen-crash when Alt-Tab out from the game. How …

DX9 is an api with a too long lifecycle with "millions" of games to be abandoned. In spite of that, regarding that nothing lasts forever, I expect that it's going to get older and older in time. I don't know if it'd worth to expose the present implementation behind dgVoodoo DX8 through DX9 …

Are there playable demos of those games that I could download from somewhere? I only found Rockman 123 so far. The cursor issue is indeed present for that game but I didn't experience palette problems (Win10 FCU). Oh, and intro video doesn't show up for me, must be some codec problem. (About the …
