Re: Screamer 2 results under WinXP

Last one, and that should be all the locked tracks now visible. Name: Screamer2 Executable: F:\s2\s2_3dfx.exe DosGraphics: Yes ControlJudderFix: 1 Resolution: 3 FullScreen: No ForcedTextureSmoothing: Yes I don't know if Paul has any ideas of the slow down, I have tried all sorts of things including …

Screamer 2 results under WinXP

If anyone's interested, I've been doing some extensive tests under WinXP for Screamer2, and I've solved the No CD problem by using Diskjuggler to make an image of the CD, and DAEMON Tools to mount the image. Just install from the mounted image and it runs a treat. But it's very slow under any GliDOS …

Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?

Nope, it didn't change the res in glidos. It runs the dos prompt, then runs the game (which is in a tiny window). You then have to keep pressing the enter key until you start a game, then just drag the window out by hand and you can see the game. If you drag the window out too soon, it crashes back …

Re: Some results & Questions

The 3dfx GliDOS version doesn't work with descent V1.0 or v1.1 You have to patch it to V1.2. The 3dfx exe is named d2_3dfx.exe The zip name is d23dfx.exe or .zip I'll post a couple of screenshots and info in how I got mine going, hopefully that will help you out.

Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?

It's not Descent 2, but Descent 1. This is what I think it is. The main 3dfx exe isn't a true windows exe file, but is an exe file that was written to run in windows, nothing else. I expect I'm wrong though. But this version totally ignores any hardware that is present in windows. i.e. Mouse, …

Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?

I'm not sure if it uses the Glide2x.dll, but it works via your front-end. here are the settings I used Name: Descent I Executable: D:\Descent2\D1_3dfx.exe ControlJudderFix: 1 Resolution: 2 FullScreen: No It could be that the exe file is one of those files that is windows based, but uses dos to run …

Re: RB3D works 99%

I'm wondering if it's in the GFX card and the drivers used ? I'll test the same game in WinME using the 30.82 drivers, and post my results here. I'm primarily using XP to test most stuff as it doesn't lock it there is a problem, it merely gets stuck in a loop and only taskmanager can rescue that …

Re: RB3D works 99%

Yep, exactly that. If anyone wants a screenshot, I now have one taken with hypersnap. I can't put one up as I don't have a website of my own. It's 47k long and in Jpeg. If somebody is willing to host screenshots, I'm willing to provide them, which will include POD, as I got that going as well.

Re: RB3D works 99%

Guys, I didn't get any of the problems you are encountering. I installed Red Baron under WinXP, installed the rb2_3d patch, ran it to setup controls and video options. Then tried the glide option and it worked. No terrain problems, no interior plane problems, and I can see other planes. A very rare …

Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?

You really want to keep the resolution in multiples of 320x240 (Descents original res), So 1280x960 would look best as none of the ships look slightly deformed. It does look great though with detonator 40.41, 64tap aniso, and 4x FSAA. It's a damn shame they cancelled Descent 4 😠

Re: Does Descent 1 3dfx work with GliDos?

Make a file in your Descent directory called d1x.ini and add -gl_voodoo That should force it to fullscreen. This is what my ini file looks like -pps 6 -shortpackets -noredundancy -playermessages -cockpit 2 -msgcolorlevel 3 -GL_MIPMAP -nocdaudio -gl_voodoo -gl_stdtexmerge -gl_alttexmerge -gl_ …

Re: Games to Test...

Well, Blood totally locks the PC. I installed it, patched it with the 3DFX 1.11 patch, setup the game with no sound (Just for compatibility sake). Ran the normal version just to check it worked ok after the patch. Then ran the 3dfx version via GliDOS, but it loads so far, then totally locks on a …

Re: Games to Test...

Shame there no results on that page as that would of made the icing on the cake. I'm currently testing Blood Whiplash Fatal Racing Dungeon Keeper Shadow Warrior MDK - bit more testing than before. All dos, and all have 3dfx patches.
