Is something missing?. How can Glide2x.dll act as a Glide wrapper?. Does the .INI file generate after running the Glide-based program or something?

Glide2x.dll is all you need for Windows based Glide games.

Note that the .ini just appears in the "current" directory, which is on a windows based system normally the same directory that contains the .exe file of the game (or dosemu).

I think this is quite broken behavior, it clutters your system with .ini files and requires write permission in every game directory. I started a partial fix in the "development" forum for linux/unix machines that places the .ini file inside ~/.openglide -- for windows this should probably be %APP_SETTINGS% ...

To support games that need different openglide settings, i think an environment variable like $OGL_CONFIG should be used to provide a non-standard .ini-name. But that's better discussed in the development forum 😉

For now, just be sure you have write permission in the "current" directory when using openglide.

I used the registry and a config program with psVoodoo

... which was a silly thing to say for a program that builds also for Linux and Mac. 😁 Paul is only half awake this morning
