Is software mode 'DirectDraw (fullscreen)'? Because I gave it a quick go (with the latest WIP) but everything worked just fine both in the main menu and ingame menu. Yes, it's DirectDraw. I don't mean the main menu and pause menus, but if you go to the options and open the joystick, mouse, or …

As the title says. When in software mode, navigating to the joystick, mouse, or keyboard options menus will cause the desired screen to flicker once and then just show a black screen. Meanwhile, this seems to work fine in Direct3D and Glide mode. In Glide mode however, you'll notice that when …

So I've been doing some research on Softdisk's Alien Rampage when I learned that there are cutscenes that are supposed to play at the beginning and (supposedly) the end of the game. The GOG release of the game however, does not come with these cutscenes. Doing some more research I found a comment …

I've been trying to get RCT1 Deluxe working, and it's proven to be much more of a pain to do so than its sequel, for some reason. Using dgVoodoo's DDraw with default settings seems to work okay, but the screen is tiny and I'd like to be able to run it cleanly scaled to my desktop's native resolution …

Also just checked keeperd3d. Needs the exact same settings. Looks like making a new profile from scratch seemed to work.

I can't reproduce the crash. Just the usual deadlock at quit, when the game pops up a (n invisible) error message box (because of that fact that it calls grGlideShutdown and then calls into grLfbLock returning an error). But, I don't know what executable I have, it's an old installation. Other than …

POD Gold seems to work perfectly fine for the most part with dgvoodoo's Glide wrapper. Gameplay is smooth, intro video works fine. The only problem is that it seems that when I quit the game, half the time the game will just crash, not actually closing and instead just sitting in a non-responsive …

The one thing that I find that dgVoodoo doesn't do very well is whenever it utilizes system fonts in combination with game graphics (I assume thru GDI), it causes a lot of issues. Black squares around text, graphical elements being misaligned or showing as black squares, elements not scaling …
