Re: A glide wrapper for DOS programs

Posted on 2004-06-21, 23:28

Okay I solved the slow-down when using VDMSound - simply go to the Performance tab, select Try To Reduce CPU Usage and move the slider to the left (or towards the left). Result? Screamer 2 flat out with full Soundblaster 16 emulation! Couple of Screamer2 notes: 1. If you get into a BIG pile-up the …

And here's another couple of games feedback: NASCAR Racing 2 with 3Dfx patch - CRASH: game locks up when dgVoodoo starts. Fatal Racing 3Dfx - this rare version was bundled with the Orchid Righteous 3D Voodoo1 card and it doesn't work. Apparently the game does hardware-level calls not using Glide so …

Yehah! That works! Only two things now: 1. If you put dgVoodooSetup.exe into a game's folder you can usually set the wrapper up for that game in particular (applies to Windows Glide games), however this doesn't seem to work for DOS games (Screamer Rally in this case) as the settings are default. I …

A couple of notes: 1. dgVoodoo you put all the relevant files in C:\WINDOWS not windows\system32 so they won't actually overwrite yours. I'm not sure which wrapper gets preference then when a Glide game triggers though... 2. dgVoodoo CAN be installed per game. In fact for games such as NFS2SE I …

I noticed that the textures are still too low resolution in Boss Rally (dgVoodoo draws them full resolution but shows black screen when you switch to the view with a rear-view mirror!). There is one BIG problem with this wrapper though. It prevents dgVoodoo working in DOS games! For games that I …

Another message for Dege: is it possible in future to support DOS game by putting the wrapper in the game's folder? If I install Zeckensack's wrapper and dgVoodoo (as Zeckensack's wrapper doesn't put glide2x.dll in C:\WINDOWS) then Screamer Rally won't detect the hardware properly. As soon as I …

Yeah Powerslide supports Glide but it's not necessary as you can run it in Direct3D and it looks better! Though you may have to force Direct3D using Powerslide's ps_clo.exe utility as it tries to run in Glide otherwise. Glide booted in Zeckensack's but had garbage all over the screen in the game. …

Hi Dege, Here's my feedback on 31 Glide games. I do have some others but they're either fine in Direct3D (so I don't use Glide) or setting them up is painful! This is the first time I've properly installed your wrapper (into C:\WINDOWS) after having uninstalled Zeckensack's wrapper to test. Overall …

Midnight Racing Sometimes works (haven't figured out what makes it work yet!) but often loops on the opening Twilight3D animation. To make it work definitely you can find and install the German patch for the game which has the downside of making all the text German (a problem if you don't speak …

And to bring this bang up to date, it looks like Sega Model 3 is coming along nicely too: http://www.mameworld.net/vlinde/ - Star Wars Trilogy latest http://www.system16.com/model3/ - previous updates, including Sega Rally 2, Virtua Fighter 3 and Scud Race. Ice

I can't get Screamer2 to run because of some missing files I've got Screamer2 (and the patches) so if there are any specific files you need just ask! Under xp, it complains about too few memory (incompatible DOS environment, I think), haven't tried to solve the problem yet, but I think I've read …

Re: Anyone got these DOS games working in Windows XP?

in DOS
um, I'm still here :-) I know about the cycles thing, it's more the fact that the slower games (NASCAR2 and Top Gun) both use high resolution (maybe VESA) which is slow to emulate currently. I may play with the floppy drive thing further. The thing is Flopper is intended to be run on a floppy disk …

Dege's wrapper is by far THE most advanced wrapper around. Won't disagree, though Zeckensack's is pretty good too! Ignition - unbelievable slow down, with other wrappers, Dege's is fine. Ignition is fast and smooth on Zeckensack's too (on my top-end PC at least!). Screamer 2 and Rally - Works well …

Here's a bit of info Dege, NFS2SE is the same, though this may be the best possible on ATI cards with their lack of features! I can't remember if Zeckensack's wrapper worked better as it would only work with the demo... Anyway, Test Drive Off Road 2 is now perfect, where it wasn't with Zeckensack's …

Has anyone managed to get Screamer2 3DFX or Screamer Rally 3DFX to work? They're a pain - I made one of them work in Glidos once but it was very slow. Also, I know that ATI are annoying about their drivers. The Sega Model 2 emulator has severe clipping problems as according to the author: "ATI video …

Okay the full story goes like this: The DEMO of World Rally Fever (available at http://www.team17.com) when run in XP or when using VDMSound starts but no the keyboard won't work on the main game menu, meaning you cannot use the demo at all. In DOSBox it all seems to work, including the game, but …
