Hi, how are you? I wanted to let you know that I’ve been testing the driver using the alias for the Intel HD4400. I’d like to send you some screenshots from the testing process, along with a .txt output file that should better explain how we might resolve this incompatibility. I’ve attached the images and the text output file.

Seems you are running an older version. Can you try with the latest version? If you have internet on that machine you can use auto update feature.

Yes, it works! Now, time to play some classics—oh yeah!

I have a Windows 95 laptop with a very limited graphics card; I can’t even play some games in full-screen mode—perhaps you could include it in the project.

Possible to add support, but there is no hardware 3d from what I can see, which games do you have issues with?

Nice! let me know if you have any issues, you can see how to report issues on git page.

Btw I plugged the i3 ironlake back in if you want to attempt anything. It's responding to pings so I assume it's usable.

As far as optimisation goes... I'm sure you know more than me, but I'd suggest commenting the hottest paths in the source at least.
That will help the human eyes know where to look.
Secondly, in those hot paths look for branches based on variables that don't switch often.
Eg going back to the fog example in the glide one, there's not much point checking whether you're applying fog or not in every loop. Decide first, then run the fog factory blindly or the nofog factory blindly .

Thanks yes please leave on, going to read MTRRs etc for next version.

Super Mario XP, a simple 2D game, does not run in full-screen mode.

Can you add this VIA chrome 9 HCM chip to the list?

These are prevalent in a bunch of junk old thin clients and some industrial boards. VIA never made a driver for this graphics chipset but they did with the earlier VIA s3 unichrome pro series.

Here is the attached survey file.

The Chrome9 and Chrome9 HC in the K8M890 and CN896 chipsets have Win98 drivers (though not good stable ones) but the Chrome9 HC3 and HCM which are used in a lot of thin clients like the HP T5545 and Wyse Cx0 have an updated 2D engine and don't work with those drivers. I have a couple of these thin clients and wouldn't mind putting them on the network for some remote testing if you need that.

There are some available documents on at least the 2D engine part of the Chrome9 HCM on TheRetroWeb: https://theretroweb.com/chipsets/480

If you guys install this https://github.com/michaeldale/V9x-Remote-Agent on a network enabled Win 98 box I can control remotely and do driver dev. After install go into the tray icon and enable Remote Help.

My integrated Intel graphics card doesn't have a driver for Windows 9x; I hope you can add it to the project.

Pretty sure g33 is basically the same as gma which are already done.
If you lack patience, try inf mod.

That was fast. Thanks!

Lol

Crazy.
I saw your ironlake notes.
More than double 3dmark 2000.
Nice!

Low end gf2 mx range. Not bad for software tnl

Haha yeah finally getting some good tweaks in. HW T&L (for supported GPUs) will come soon.
