I trust Corsair as a company... even if their lower end supplies are 'lower end.' I would choose Corsair first, or Seasonic second. I am not sure if you are aware of it, but at Corsair they don't make their own power supplies instead they just buy and rebrand them from Seasonic and CWT. The Corsair …

Greetings & Happy Holidays folks! It's been a rather hectic end to the year and I haven't had a whole lot of time to post lately, but here's this week's build summary for your viewing pleasure! I thought I'd dive into some of my Socket 3-based systems for these next few "Artex's Build of the Week" …
Re: Blood/Shadow Warrior + DOSBOX + nGlide = Crap?
Posted on 2014-12-13, 04:02
nGlide doesn't package a glide2x.ovl file, but perhaps Ykhwong's copy is sufficient. I think there are alternatives for the small chance that it makes a difference; however, I now think that Ykhwong's build should have a good copy. If I was troubleshooting this issue, I would start fresh with a …

I'll just make one more suggestion. I would start dosbox outside d-fend (this suggestion doesn't count because it was mentioned earlier, along with others). 3s is not s3, unfortunately. Was that a typo? Did you use the glide2x.ovl from nglide? <-- that's the additional suggestion. I hope you …

Don't display full screen. Don't test with D-Fend, if at all possible. Verify that your resolution is correct for 3dfx mode, at least as shown above. This is what you currently have: ScreenMode = 2 ScreenWidth = 320 ScreenHeight = 200 Then, try testing the above suggestions, including 7/13 version …

Thanks for the reply! Running Windows 8.1 x64, Asus GTX680 TOP, latest drivers (344.75). Images are full-screen mode I have not tried other wrappers such as DGVoodoo, etc. Glide=true and I've tried output=opengl and openglnb with same result. I am using the gliude2x.dll from nGlide (renamed the file …

No problem guys.. software mode works great. It's just when I run with Glide mode that I have probs. I basically do the following: 1) Install retail 1.0 version of Blood 2) Apply Blood 1.0 -> 1.2 Patch that includes 3DFX.exe 3) Install nGlide 1.03, set with Screen Resolution -> App Default (known …

A few hours after I posted pictures here about some AGP cards sold in a lot I got the box with the cards. I had told the seller to pack the cards well so they could not scratch each other. This is what I got, notice all the small dents on the inside of the box from the cards tumbleing around during …
