Hi! I've serious problems with dgvoodoo 1.40+ when I doubleclick on dgvoodoosetup I get the message: "dgvoodoo has encounter a problem and need to close. Do you want to report this to microsoft?" It all sounds really weird, I don't know what it is. There is no big difference between setup apps of 1. …

I don't know MAME, is it an open-source universal emulator including e.g. DOS? Anyway, thanks for the tip, I'll see it!!! 😀

Just a short comment: I think I know why lines appears as blue, as I came across with this problem with dgv, and was a real mystery for me too for a long time (and the black lines of the ingame health bar). TR UB uses the iterated RGB color in the color combine unit in a special mode, namely in …

Hey, is Dege available in this forum? Yes, but only once a year. :happyhappy: :happyhappy: So that, very rarely. He claimed that he fixed crash bug in 1.40+. I want to tell him that he fixed nothing - it's still crashy. I meant the applications that are widely tested with dgv and that should work …

Would be a help to me, because I am new to it. I'll probably put my CVS repository up on sourceforge. Be good if you could look over it. Anything useful you could use. Anything stupid you could maybe comment on. OK, I'm looking forward to it! :cool: But, I'm not expert in dx9, haven't learnt too …

psVoodoo? :cool: You're working on a D3D9-based wrapper? It makes me very curious! :happy: (Damn, I was planning putting a D3D9-renderer into dgVoodoo, too, to make use of best of both world, dx 7 and 9 :happyhappy: ) You looking at Dx9 too.

With the origin being lower left, I wondered about returning a pointer to the bottom line and a -ve lineskip. Naughty, but might work for a lot of games. Yes, it would probably work, but indeed it's naughty since the type of lineskip is unsigned int. With D3D9 it looks like you can't get sensible …

Yeah, I've been experimenting with DirectX and direct access to buffers lately. That's so nice, and dithered 16bit really doesn't seem to look any different from 32bit. Yes, indeed it's nice, but can only be used rarely, when the lock origin is upper left, no scaling, write format is the same as …

dgVoodoo does bluescreening too, if "fastwrite" is enabled (yes, I call it "fastwrite" :happy:) otherwise it reads back all the color buffer content to prepare writing (it's "slowwrite", not too effective, so it can be considered obsolete, except for one case, when dgV can give back the pointer to …

Back again :happyhappy: , Forget the Clipping-Problem in GTA with 1.40b. I can disable the D3D-Clipping but I have to restart the computer. Then all graphics in GTA(full-version) are fine. It sounds very strange to me! Why do you have to restart the computer? :confused: I downloaded the 3dfxDemo of …

You're right, I get the same. Probably it's intended to be the error msg indicating that dgv isn't set to server mode. :happy: I messed up sg again. But, it worked when I set it to server mode in the setup. EDIT: All the strings were missing, fixed and re-released the beta. A logging version is also …

I've released 1.40 Beta R2, I hope it will work better than prev versions, and, I hope I haven't messed up totally anything in it. Tomorrow I'm going to compile a logging version too, now I'm too tired to do it.

In GTA I have to use D3D-Clipping, otherwise the game doesn't recognise a 3Dfx-Card and I get back to It's very strange thing, no idea.

Hi Flint, I'm so stupid. I solved my problem with GTA. There was a new driver for my ATI-Radeon9700Mobility and since I'm using it GTA works fine on 1.31 and 1.40b. In 1.40b I experienced sometimes flashing polygones over the whole screen while driving. Seems to be a clipping problem, but no problem …

Hi Amano! I'm trying to do my best. 😀 I'm going to upgrade to SP2, we will see what it causes Nothing, apart from that my internet connection fell dead, so back to SP1 for the time being. But, all DOS games seemed to work fine.
