Re: Tutorial: dosbox with Glide under Linux

Posted on 2014-06-09, 17:44

I attached an updated patch here. OK, I am going to start it very simple. I assume that user who want to try this has certain level of Linux GNU tools experience and doing command lines at the Terminal. Assumption: - Your DOSBox is located at ~/src/dosbox-3858/... - The patch file is located at ~/ …

You can get the clean patch of kekko voodoo1 emulation against SVN r3858 here: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=35814&p=347552#p347552 This gives you 3Dfx chip emulation and able to run both glide and Win9x Direct3D games in Linux. And, you don't have to compile OpenGlide for Linux. I have …

in Windows
You have one more option to play the game in DOSBox with voodoo1 emulation and Win98. Base on the year released and system requirements, having DOSBox in modern machines should be suffice to play this game. DOSBox on my not-so-modern Core 2 E8400 3.0G is roughly equivalent to Pentium 266MHz.

The biggest challenge for me was to get DosBox' configure script to recognize that libpng and SDL_Sound were present. I never succeeded at that, instead I had to edit "configure" itself by hand to force their use. I don't know where it expects the header files to be. I just want to say the DOSBox …

Attached voodoo1 patch for SVN r3858. This was something I was looking for but I end up doing it myself. It only contains a clean kekko voodoo1 emulation patch (extracted from TestBuild-3). Somehow, h-a-l-9000's paging patch is no longer required at r3858. Tomb Raider II (DirectX 5) works perfectly …

Actually, I am more inclined towards Direct3D benchmarks to pit DOSBox against real machines in the era of 1995-1999. My main desktop running Win7 32-bit is also an old Core2 E8400@3.0G with GeForce 9400. From most of the past 3D games performance database archives, I think I am getting very close …

Hi Truth, Can you share some benchmark numbers with the build on Voodoo1 emulation? - PCP Direct3D benchmark - 3Dfx Wizmark - Quake 2 timedemo - Final Reality 1.01 - 3DMark99MAX. I can't get this to run fully, but the results from the 2 game demos should be good.

Have you tried dgVoodoo? It supports GLIDE 2.1.1 and works with most DX7 class hardware. SST1INIT.DLL/GLIDE.DLL are not meant for anything other than Voodoo1. There are list of 3Dfx env vars for a Voodoo2 to emulate Voodoo1 floating around in the web which you can google it by yourself. If this …

I noticed issue on LFB accesses causing flicking. This only happens with dgVoodoo, but not OpenGLide. For example, when pulling down console in Quake II demo, the console text is flicking. Similar, for games which render HUD using LFB, the HUD is also flickering. This is observed in MechWarrior 2 …

Another good solution to avoid pf_queue overrun is to avoid using S3 display drivers. Use VBEMP VESA generic driver. Here's the behavior of S3 drivers on Win95 and Win98SE which I can conclude: - Win95B/C (OSR2/OSR2.5) In-box S3 drivers is completely unusable. DOSBox will crash with pf_queue overrun …

Hi, I think DOSBox page fault handling deserves its exclusive discussion. See http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=37417. My solution to this is to enable pf_queue monitoring and keep restarting DOSBox until it reaches Win9x desktop with pf_queue fully flushed. As a side note, optimized build …

I haven't tried out the voodoo chip emulation in DOSBox. I read the post and I feel that it may be too slow as not everything is accelerated with host OpenGL and I couldn't download the patch from the thread. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to despise its significance, but I think Glide pass- …

Gulikoza, by the way, do you have any interest to port your glide pass-through patch to QEMU? This would definitely breath new life into retro gaming for early Win9x native 3Dfx glide games.

I found an issue with Glide patch. When DOSBox is using imgmount'ed disk image instead of the mount'ed local folder, Glide calls which deals with local texture file, such as gu3dfGetInfo() failed located the file in the guest environment to feed to the host glide wrapper. I had a workaround to put …

Re: Glide patch

Posted on 2013-11-15, 11:18

Yes, I did have the correct glide2x.dll in the guest OS. Nevermind, I figured it out. Somehow, the MapPhysToLin() implementation using VxDCall to DPMI service in Win9x was failing. I don't know why. I applied h-a-l-9000 paging patch, updated S3 drivers and somehow things were working. I am able to …
