Re: GOG.com games that work in Win9x/ME with no fuss

Did you try removing the nglide wrapper files? Yep, you bet. GOG games error out on voodoo card builds with glide wrappers left in. Also to note is the GOG version of Unreal Gold has the same issues on this build too, but an original CD install is fine - as expected. So I'm hopefull Undying and …

Can I ask you to try the KernelEx install method? Maybe it puts something in the registry or other folders that messes up with the game. Not a bad idea. When I get "bench time" I'll give it a shot. But I agree - some games do insist on an install even if the registry entries or file drops aren't …

No dice with the V3500/ref drivers for either game. Same lockup/CDT pattern as the V5. All other 30+ games run sharp as tacks - even Call Of Duty 1 which can be a bear and a notorious resource hog like Falcon 4.0. Guessing it's something about the current setup that's just not right for these two. …

My system is pretty fresh with minimal extras. I transfer GOG installs by thumb drive (IOgear card/NEC USB2 drivers) which works well for these smallish games. I'm thinking the V5 may be the issue - probably a setting I haven't uncovered yet. But I also have a V3500 on hand to test a supported …

I can't seem to run 2 GOG games others have had success with; Deus Ex GOTY and Undying. The rig; P4-2.8/Asus P4s533vm/W98se/V5 (AmigaMerlin29)/Vortex2/512 ram/DX9.0c Deus locks up at the first pier scene, and Undying CTDs shortly after arriving in the courtyard. I've tried all sorts of game/3dfx …

...give Wined3d a try. It's 3 files that drop into the game folder. MA runs on Win 10 for me without the cockpit tearing of the other solutions. The menus are off center but everything functions fine. I tried using the 3 dll file (wined3d, winelib and ddraw) but it crashed to desktop. Tried using …

I am trying to get this one working on Win 10. Was able to install the V1.1 from CD. Also copied the 3 dll files on to the installation directory. The game starts. However, on entering the game, getting an error "The game requires a minimum desktop resolution of 800x600....". Tried different …

There are a lot of forks and tributaries in this thread, but I have MA running nicely on Wine. I just added the 3 Wine files (ddrawl.dll, libwine.dll, wined3d.dll) into my v123 bdg085f installation and the game runs smootly without the graphic tears and/or CTDs that plagued me before. My system; W10 …

Cool. I never advanced far enough so I'm sticking with vanilla F18 for now - without the TSH realism mods. As it turns out I actually prefer the stock graphics to the hi-res TSH upgrades, and this suits my more casual involvement just fine. This, WW2 Fighters and Longbow 2 are really pretty awesome …

Re: Jane's F/A-18, I have v101f running under W10 using the "dxwnd" utility and setting the shortcut to W7 compatibility. nVidia GTX video card. Currently menus run in a box but flight is normal. I think there was a setting for fullscreen menus but I don't have it handy.

Hey everyone, thanks to all involved in making this possible!... This is great - wine seems to have done the trick. I copied over the dbg v085f install and dropped in the 3 files you linked to. The old girl fires up nicely and without the graphic tears in the cockpit I had before. Excellent! I …

I may havet to give PCEM a try given the success with MA. The installation proceedure was daunting which is why I shied away in the past. But that makes me laugh given all the hours spent installing and tweaking real W95/98 retro installs over the years...

Re: Another builds discussion

Having just finished tinkering with my own "Build 2 equivilent" the only thing I'd consider is bumping the Voodoo1 up to a Voodoo2 if you have the part. The P3-600/V2 will make good work of 800x600 games of this "mid era" something the V1 will struggle with. Of course the V1 will provide you with …

I stand corrected - it's 640x480 …

Voodoo5 @ 64ox480 FSAA 4x: scaling study?

Can anyone point me to a CPU scaling study for the V5 with FSAA max'ed out at 640x480 resolution? I'm familar with this one from a few years back: http://nightstormer.tripod.com/voodoo_article6.htm All resolutions higher than 640 cap out on the test rig but at 640x480 FSAA 4x frames are still rising …
