Re: Carmageddon lag on Windows Vista

Posted on 2010-01-18, 20:51

Apologies if that came across as ungrateful wd, but what I meant is that there's obviously still several challenges ahead before we can play more graphics intensive games like Carmageddon in DOSBox. I'm not trying to diminish the hard work you've put into the program, I'm just letting azerty_42 know …

Re: Framerate lock?

> a game will speed up during less graphics-intensive sections all old and modern games behave like that on a real computer :) When I say "speed up", I mean that quite literally. Older games (at least when played via DOSBox) seem to be quite sensitive to framerate fluctuations. Take the game …

Framerate lock?

Posted on 2010-01-05, 01:37

Hi everyone! I was wondering if there's a way to lock DOSBox to a particular framerate? I often find that games run too quickly, and lowering the cycles tends to cause irregular framerates rather than simply slowing a game down overall - ie; a game will speed up during less graphics-intensive …

If anyone wants a mdern carmageddon type game http://uk.gamespot.com/pc/driving/clutch/review.html Hmm, looks pretty funky! I may have to check this one out! As for getting Carmageddon 3dfx running - meh, one of the main selling points for me was being able to run it in 1680x1050, like I could with …

Well, if the 3dfx version works, then dosbox is "communicating" with dgvoodoo. There are no additional settings as dgvoodoo only works as a glide wrapper in this case. Carmageddon is quite a demanding game, but seems playable here (17-23 fps, Core i7 920) in 3dfx mode. If you get low memory warning …

clik my signature. Ah... whoops! Ok, I've installed your precompiled version, along with DgVoodoo (making sure to keep your Glide2x.ovl intact) However, Dosbox doesn't seem to be communicating with DgVoodoo - I can run the 3dfx version, but it's incredibly slow. The DgVoodoo process is definitely …

Use gulikoza's build or ykhwong's ((: Hi lightmaster, I've downloaded ykhwong's latest 0.72 CVS build (05/19/2009) - however there doesn't appear to be a Glide option in the output settings. I take it there's an additional patch required? Does anyone know where I can find a precompiled version of …

Hi gulikoza, thanks for your reply. Ok, I've copied over your glide2x.ovl to my Dosbox 0.73 folder - however, I'm having a little difficulty with the following section; "The second part is the DOSBox patch. The patch should be relatively easy to apply and compile, it only requires a few 3dfx headers …

Carmageddon 3dfx under Windows 7/Vista?

Posted on 2009-08-06, 12:56

Hi guys, I recently discovered Dosbox has (not) implemented Glide support , and I was wondering whether anyone's had any luck running Carmageddon in DB using this patch, in conjunction with a wrapper like DgVoodoo? Originally I used VDMSound to run Carmageddon 3dfx, but it appears that software is …

Heavy Gear 2 on Vista/Windows 7

Posted on 2009-06-26, 21:12

in Windows
Evening all! I recently dug out my copy of Heavy Gear 2, and after a few minor hiccups, I managed to get it into a playable state by using Windows 95 compatibility mode. The game runs more or less perfectly, but all the objects are transparent! Here's a link to the demo , so you can test it yourself …

Re: European Air War - Glide Wrapper?

Posted on 2009-05-17, 01:16

in Windows
Thanks Dav, but I don't have any problems running the game in D3D mode. My main incentive for using a glide wrapper is that I've been experiencing some performance issues with the game in D3D mode, and I was told running the game in glide mode with a wrapper can provide a substantial performance …

Hmm, EAW doesn't even detect the presence of Zeckensack's glide wrapper on my machine - the "Glide" option is greyed out in the menu. (As far as I can tell, EAW seems to need glide2x.dll in the program folder for the Glide option to become available.) The option is available when I use DgVoodoo, but …

European Air War - Glide Wrapper?

Evening all, I've heard that a performance increase is possible when running European Air War by using a glide wrapper - unfortunately, I can't find one that works on my configuration. When I start a mission, I get graphical corruption: http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/5667/46449255.jpg I've tried …

Hi there, @Qbix: As I said, it's not possible for me to even access the sound setup program successfully. I've just attempted a re-install from within DosBox, and received the following error message: "W_InitFiles: no files found" @DosFreak: The Gravis Ultrasound message is just a standard dialog …
