So, how did GoG do the Glide emulation on their version of Carmageddon?

It looks great and it works quite well (aside from the menu screens being in the wrong aspect ratio, but that's not that big of a problem 🤣), but I would like to know what kind of Glide emulation they used, and how I can tweak it for better speed and stuff. 🤣

Normally I'd be able to figure this out myself, but just from looking through the files it's a whole mess of config files and folders-within-folders, and it's just laid out in a really screwed up way. 😜

They used a modified build of dosbox and nglide. You can configure it by copying/installing nglide yourself as GOG.com for some reason has removed the nglide configuration utility

Yes, that's what I had to do... really not sure what they were thinking with this release. I want to waste those cops at native resolution!

Thanks! 😁 I'll give that a try.

EDIT: It works great, and now that I'm running it at native resolution it looks smoother too. 😀 Now what I'm wondering is, how can I set it so that the 2D screens (menus, map, etc.) are displayed in 4:3 and not in a small 16:10 box?

.conf editing, of course.
aspect=true
fullresolution=desktop
output=ddraw (overlay and surface aren't scaling)
scaler=none.

Tried that, it doesn't do a thing. 😜 The 2D screens being in the wrong aspect ratio aren't *that* big of a deal, but it is something I would like to fix.

Err... I'm 100% sure GOG is using the separate .conf, not the default.

Which version are you running? If it's 3dfx mode, you need to set 4:3 aspect ratio in nGlide configurator (it's removed in this release, so you need to install nGlide 0.99 and open configurator from the start menu).

Already did all that. 😜 The ingame screens are already in 4:3, so they're fine, but the map, menu screens, and FMVs are all in a slightly stretched 16:10 window in the center of my screen.
