I have a question: can you make a similar driver for Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10/11? But why for post XP? Under Windows XP, I did not find a third-party driver with 3d acceleration support. In addition, the latest versions of VirtualBox and Vmware Workstation Player no longer support their own …

Btw can you tell how you implemented to run Quake2 on this? I can't see the game using it at all and instead moving to the Microsoft Standard ICD and the file is not in use. Did you modify any file? Which one? The game should use it, if you put the proper opengl32.dll file (windows 32 bit version) …

I had a deeper look in Heavy Gear, and it turns out both dgVoodoo2 and DxWnd someway gives the black screen. So I guess I will have to dig better. Update: The game would sometimes crash on startup due to failure in building the Primary Surface, and for getting an undefined color depth (it was an …

I will try the fix a while later. Btw what do you intend to do with running I76 and Mech2 directly. Mech2, as far as I know, will need patching in CPU scheduling, GDI BitBlt tweaking, some FirstFindFileA API tweaking, some 8.3 pathname tweaking, a custom heap and the most problematic - the mission …

Messiah had a notoriously long development cycle for the time, it's likely it was designed with software and Glide only for most of its development. I seem to remember people pointing out differences in the past. After testing this one for a while, I have some thoughts. First, this is a really …

The black screen problem seems to be a DirectDraw problem fixable by dgVoodoo2, DxWnd or DDrawCompat. Maybe its a generic issue. I'm using dgvoodooo2. It doesn't seem to be helping. CopyBack=1 might help, but it's currently broken. To create an OpenGL context setpixelformt has to be called. You …

The current version supports officially up to Windows7. Both 32 and 64 bit version applications are supported. I have never seen windows 11, and never personally used windows 10 or windows 8, but the older versions are certainly not the way to go on a modern system. Btw can you tell how you …

feda wrote on 2023-08-22, 13:21: HG1 textures still borked (especially obvious in training missions 2, 3, 4. First one is okay for some reason). Menu still black after missions. @feda can you describe how you are running the game? I never got the black screen so I am curious.

I don't recommend to use older releases. There are reason why i wipe them from the net: bugous, unstable... some versions have DRM which doesn't even works any more. Some of my domain names where titaniumgl tries to connect to initialize its drm, are not even under my control since years, and they …
