So I'm trying to get dgVoodoo to work with a free mmo Return of Reckoning. I've tried different settings. What's holding me up is the game has an error message that pops up if your GPU settings are below minimum. With the ATI Radeon 8500 I can get the launcher to work. But aside from that every other Videocard in the list just launches the launcher into the taskmanager and it doesn't do anything. And with the ATI Radeon 8500, the game states that it's below minimum spec and refuses to launch 😒. I'm just wondering if there's a way to get any of the other better emulated GPU's to work.

Got a debug log running this through Visual Studio. Ignore the access errors they're the same without dgVoodoo being used:

Virtual Internal 3D : https://1drv.ms/t/s!AlEtuvSotaeEe3cq1ya6G8VpNsI
ATI Radeon 8500: https://1drv.ms/t/s!AlEtuvSotaeEfBC0Awe7ct4nWb4 <- Up until the point where the launcher refuses connection due to not meeting minimum requirements.

Upon further investigation, it seems like the shaders on the ATI emulated card are too old to work. However it doesn't explain why the Virtual 3D card doesn't work..

Update: After some trial and error, I was able to get it working by just utilising ninjaripper (which automatically applies dgVooDoo in the latest version). On the character select screen it works great, but once it loads into the game, you'll have about 10 seconds before it crashes. And during that time you'll have characters with unloaded textures walking around. But 80% of the game seems to load correctly. Also the FPS is dreadful.
