qemu is not necessary for 3dfx games

I think he just meant it's better.

Dosbox-ECE has screen and resolution issues on which dgvoodoo2 doesnt keep the game fullscreen

have you tried maximizing dosbox window before going fullscreen?

I've tested even with other wrappers, but i think is more of an issue in my end.
I am using ECE for GoG DoS games because GoG never updates their stuff.
And recently i made out a win 98 install to check some games like the original battlezone 1.0 release and even the red odissey demo, and i had flickering shadow issues under 3dfx.
and i was testing using dosbox-x with both dgvoodoo2 and nglide.

I think those builds of DosBox resize the rendering window to the 'expected' size after a Glide session is initialized, which kicks out dgVoodoo from fullscreen mode and even in windowed mode the window size gets smaller than the forced resolution.
At least, I have this problem with DosBox-X. I keep an old Ykhwong DosBox build for my personal usage that works. I might be able to override this behavior in a later version with GeneralExt\Environment set to DosBox, but honestly, I'm not a fan of two code components fighting with each other.

Yesterday i managed to play the game once more, this time with Daum's GoG build and direct 3d
Both glide and d3d9 worked flawlessly, mainly with reshade.
