Wrapping games like Warcraft2, Starcraft, Fallout1+2 (the ones I've tested) results in extreme framerates. Thats a problem, since it causes coil whine and stress/heat of the gpu, especially when using additional post processing. Limiting the framerate can make these games unplayable slow and even with a cap of 300 (the maximum in Rivatuner) mouse movements can still be sluggish.
Afaik, the only wrapper that doesn't have this problem is cnc-ddraw. Games are perfectly playable with smooth mouse movement at screen refresh rate (60Hz). I don't know how it achieves this technically, but it seems to be a differentiation between framerate and game 'ticks'.
Will there be support/fixes for these sort of games in the future?
