I suggest you to reinstall win98. I have an FX5700 with your same drivers and directx7. I played M1 Tank Platoon II that use glide drivers without problems. That graphic card support glide drivers and nglide is not necessary.
Maybe you have installed too much times some drivers and you lost some dll. I think that with a clean installation of win98 you can resolve the problem.

This is inaccurate.

The FX 5700 drivers do not support Glide. No Nvidia graphics card drivers have ever supported Glide directly.

EDIT: M1 Tank Platoon II does support software rendering, which does not require Glide. Your installation is possibly configured this way. If you have Glide selected in the game and it works without a 3Dfx based card, then you have a Glide wrapper of some kind installed as well (might have been installed system-wide by another game and you never noticed because things just worked).

Hi guys,

Need your help again. I want to play some very old game that apparently was made for the Voodoo GPU. I have it disk and when start, autoplay glide2x.dll not found error pops up.

Do I understand it currently that if I install nGlide it will emulate Voodoo rendering and will work under my FX 5700 Ultra and it may resolve this dll dependencies error?

I’ve read it only works with DirectX 9 only, I think it’s DirectX 7 atm.

Will it break compatibility with older games even though it must be backwards compatible?

My Nvidia driver version is 56.64. My current late 90s early 2000's games work flawlessly with my current setup.

Thanks for your help.

I do not know which (presumably older) version of Nglide you are using, but if it's documentation says it requires DirectX9 runtimes to be installed, you will need to install them for proper operation.

Newer DirectX runtimes typically do not cause compatibility issues with older games (which will continue using the functionality exposed by the older, still installed, DirectX runtimes).

Thanks for the info. I haven't installed nGlide yet, I still need to find out version that works with Win 98S SE.

There are older Glide wrappers that support Windows 9x officially. Not sure if Nglide ever supporredWi xoes 9x officially, but some people apparently have been able to get it to work unofficially under Windows 9x. Somebody here might provide more insight (I use actual 3dFX hw on Windows 9x retro machines and only use wrappers on modern machines).

I found an interesting list: https://www.zophar.net/utilities/n64glideplugins.html
Curious if anyone has experience with one of it and Win 98 SE. The game I want to play uses glide2x.dll (newer version) which I found not all wrappers support. I guess I will just try some old version of nGlide anyway.
