It turns out that VMWare SVGA driver doesn't support neither compute shaders nor feature 'structured-buffers-through-pixel-shaders'. Support for both of them are optional in DX10.x, a thing I always forget about... But what were weird is that even WARP didn't support them. I think I'm going to …
Anti-aliasing possible?
Posted on 2018-01-12, 01:08
I know there are scalers but they tend to blur the entire screen pretty badly. Is there any such thing for Dosbox that only applies anti-aliasing proper-like to edges? Maybe even a SMAA and sharpen shader injector like SweetFX for Dosbox? Please don't recommend the Vaseline applicator that is also …

...so I'm guessing it broke a very specific thing needed to get MW2 working. You're best off playing in DOSBox, and if you really want to play a Windows release, using a virtual machine, or using PCem if you have a fast enough rig. Yup, don't know a soul that can run it in win10. Dos version of …

Is there any smart coder out there that knows why Mech2 Windows version does not work? Some smart people made WinXP/Vista/Win7 work fine by using MechVM. Why can't the same smart people do the same with Win10?

You need DirectX 11 for dgVoodoo to be functional because all functionality is accessed via DIrect3D 11 runtime. On Vista, this means you need Service Pack 2 and KB971512 . D3DCompiler_47.dll from dgVoodoo download page is also recommended (put it in C:\Windows\SysWOW64), even though the …
Re: Using Nvidia's Dynamic Super Resolution with DOSBox and openglnb output
Posted on 2018-01-10, 03:47
Well I gave this a shot but no luck so far on things I've tried. I believe the issue is because I already run a 4k monitor at native 3840x2160. If I even ask for only 2xDSR, Dosbox does not accept the fullresolution value of 7680x4320. I'm searching for Dosbox high resolution solutions but haven't …

Well I thank you for your input and help. I'm hoping sometime Dege can possible shed some light on this issue of dgVoodoo2 having Unavailable Output API.

You have DirectX 10 installed but the video driver in vmware only supports D3D9. Click the display tab. I guess I don't see where it is DX9 only? Edit: According to this page, VMware12 is DX10 functional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VMware_Workstation https://i.imgur.com/XmrMj7V.jpg You don't …

If you right click on my posted screenshot(s) and view image, you will see my VMware Vista64 is running DX10. I can upgrade it to DX11 but have not done so as I haven't had the need. I am certainly no programmer but I don't understand why dgVoodoo1 can work so well in VMware but dgVoodoo2 doesn't? …

Have you tried enabling "Inherit Color Profile in full screen" in the dgVoodoo2 config program? The problem you're having sounds a lot like the problem I had with another, albeit later game. Thanks for trying to help. I just realized what I think is the issue. The newer dgVoodoo's have an issue not …

This is very interesting. I'm surprised no one has posted more on this; trying different 320x200 games and such. I plan to try this ASAP but before I forget, I wanted to note that I already experienced crashing but it was due to setting setting Dosbox output=openglnb. I didn't think much of it at …

Dege, Is MechWarrior 2 3dfx suppose to work with dgVoodoo2 in win10? Mech2 behaves like glide.dll is not detected or found by the Mech2 program. Are you able to test Mech 2 please? Thanks for any help.

🤣, only 5+ years later but I do have the Dos version of Time Commando running in a Win10 Dosbox and fairly working with a PS4 controller through PS4Windows.
