Is it possible to play a dos game that supports glide (i.e. tomb raider, archimedian dynasty) within dosbox and use the real voodoo1/3dfx hardware - and thereby to have glide acceleration in dosbox without using a glide wrapper?

I could be wrong but I think all you need to do is take the glide2x.dll from your Voodoo drivers and put it in the same directory as Gulikoza's dosbox.exe

Gulikoza would be the best person to ask.

Yes it should work with my build. You can just delete the glide2x.dll in the dosbox dir and let voodoo drivers handle it. But leave glide2x.ovl in place.

Again, excuse my now stupid noobishness, but I would really like to try this glide enabled dosbox to play glide-compatible games. Do I need to have a voodoo card to try the games on this dosbox version?
