Star Wars: Dark Forces is a DOS game. It cannot load a Windows library (dgVoodoo). It's also a software rendered game, even if you could make it work there would be no benefit.

Dark Forces never had a voodoo patch.

Such a shame to hear that. Makes me wish even more DarkXL development would continue again. Oh well, guess I just have to deal with it until one day someone would be able to create a tool or whatever that will improve the games visuals (DarkXL prooved it is possible). Thanks for the replies ZellSF and appiah4.

dgVoodoo supports DOS GLIDE games so long as they can run from Windows, but you have to load the VxD server executable prior to running the game.

Well sure there's that and there's DOSBox passthrough, but those are both special exceptions for Glide games and well, Dark Forces isn't one.

Quite precisely. however, what I understood from your reply to the OP is that dgVoodoo does not work with DOS GLIDE games, which it does, so I wanted to clarify that it indeed can.
