Re: Hardware overlay support

Posted on 2022-11-26, 08:14

Added it now, there's no change. So probably GeForce 10 series removed overlay support? I will verify from some users. But now it will require emulation to be used, like through dgVoodoo2. Then it can be either GeForce 10 hardware or the Win 11 driver or Win 11 itself. Unfortunately I cannot test …

Ok both of my Nvidia GPUS don't support HW overlays. Can you mention your Nvidia HW? In my case you can see DxCapsViewer says NO against DDCAPS_OVERLAY so I wonder when it was removed... As I have written above you have to explicitly enable HW overlay for every application in the registry. And …

Hi, Actually this is a problem since Windows 8. Hardware overlay is deprecated and you have to explicitly enable HW overlay for every application in the registry: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D\Shims\EnableOverlays] More info about my original HW overlay related problem and how the …

Fullscreen hw overlay? Could you give me an example for this plz? Here's an application that uses HW overlay. http://www.angelcode.com/dev/overlay/ Some games such as the Godfather uses HW overlay too, and although there's SilentPatch which removes HW overlay cap dependency, it doesn't work with …

Re: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

Here's how it looks on my GeForce FX 5900XT using dxview.exe from the DirectX 6 SDK: FX5900XT_Caps.jpg In contrast, my ATi card doesn't have 8bit RGBPAL8 there. Ok thanks for that. I think I will believe it to be the one because the other supported texture formats are also visible here. Plus …

Possibly check under Texture Formats and look for 8bit RGBPAL8. I noticed that both my Voodoo3 and my GeForce FX 5900XT have that while my ATi Radeon 9250 does not. I don't have 8bit RGBPAL8. That looks closer. My V3 freaks out with "Cant create D3D device. Change display mode" trying to open …

The inverse is also true, at least for the hardware I am using to write this message. It has FOGTABLE caps as YES and only way to get them is by editing the driver values. So I was wondering if it was possible to quickly find the cap for 8bit palletized tex too. Not sure what you mean by "caps" but …

Hardware overlay support

Is there any possibility that HW overlay support is brought to dgVoodoo2? HW overlay works perfectly on my Windows 7 machine, but my current Win11 doesn't support HW overlay. There are a few games and benchmark applications that need HW overlay support to run properly, for most games there's already …

Re: Pssst! Wanna buy some new death animations?

The upcoming game The Callisto Protocol will be available in two versions, the normal edition for £49.99, and the Deluxe Edition at £69.99 And among the extras that come with the deluxe edition are a dozen new death animations. Yes, pay extra and you get a few extra death animations (which may or …

Can you tell how it shows a supported feature of 8-bit palettized textures, like what is the entry in that list? BTW, the reason why I never used synthetic tests like this for determining whether a graphics card supports table fog and paletted textures was because sometimes the manufacturers would …

This isn't exactly rare. There are various tools like the System Info page of 3D Mark '99 that can list all detected capabilities of a graphics card: 3DMark99_Sysinfo.jpg Everest is another utility from the mid 2000s which can do something similar. Can you tell how it shows a supported feature of …

When it comes to games worse over time, We just forget all the junk and remember the good stuff. 172E6F78-DD81-4369-B87D-0BE6CA789D25.jpeg No not really, as a kid you just made due with most crappy games. The issue today is a lack of gameplay innovations. Many 1st party games have the same 3D …

Table/vertex fog support can be checked by using dxview.exe tool in old DX SDKs. This isn't exactly rare.

Here's some out of the box knowledge and query. We have seen fog work consistently across hardware. Table/vertex fog support can be checked by using dxview.exe tool in old DX SDKs. It should say NO against the ATI card. Regarding the 8-bit palettized texture setting I am still trying to figure out …

Games don't feel as exciting as they used to

Posted on 2022-11-15, 06:10

I could be one of those experiencing this weird frame of time where I don't find newly released games. This could be due to the Internet; the mysteries of the game get so quickly discovered, the difficult missions often have a trick/glitch to finish them that are out there on the Internet. Even if …
