Thanks for the guide VIM, everything worked fine, but oddly not the first time. But when it's worked once, it always works after that.
wrote:Wow thanks for that. I'm not using Glide in NFS3 either (tried various things), it's just my graphics card isn't recognised by EA's then-clever system for detecting graphics cards! From most of what I read on the web it's not possible to run 32bit in NFS3, but I'm sure I did, and it sounds like you do!
No he didnt, and you didnt either 😀
NFS3 did not support 32bit color. But NFS4:HS did and it supported all the tracks from NFS3 too, so you might remember playing NFS4:HS instead 😉
Just grab NFS4:HS and play with "Unknown D3D device" - you can play on any new graphic card out there, almost as beautiful (but not quite) as on voodoo. Porsche unleashed needs some tweaking before graphics are set correctly. I dont remember all the details though, as I positively hate that game (the only NFS I didnt finish so far) ;-/
Hey peeps, I managed to install NFSSE onto my XP PC (1gig) just by using the
512meg downgrade program. It took a long time as the sound and video tests
were quite laggy. Then I spotted this thread and decided to delete the install and
try again to get some performance.
Following OP's steps, I managed to get up to the "test" portion and then had
to ALT-TAB and CTRL-ALT-DEL and got this error:
"The instruction at 0041a004 referenced memory at 000b0000
The memory couldn't be written."
Any ideas?
OK nevermind, re-installed my way and got the .SDB file to run the
game OK. Now any tips on using the Glide wrapper?
