Hi again, Dege.

I found some bugs on Resident Evil 1 and 2, both the original CD versions (not the Mediakite/Sourcenext Japanese releases) and the GOG re-releases.

Resident Evil 1:
The rendering of the menus and the backgrounds is totally broken. The 3D models are rendrered fine.

Resident Evil 2:
This works pretty good, but there is a small hiccup. The cutscenes are 16:9, and the game displays them letterboxed onto the 4:3 screen, but dgVoodoo stretches them to fullscreen. Also, the cutscenes suffer from terrible flickering unless the option "Batched update for primary surface" is enabled, but maybe this is the expected behavior.

Resident Evil 1: it's a known problem, something with the paletted textures. Run this game with a virtual card that does not support paletted textures, like the GF9800 or ATI Radeon 8500.

Resident Evil 2: probably the cutscenes are rendered directly to the primary surface, so batched update is the good choice.

Thanks Dege, I didn't think about changing the virtual card, it works great now.
