That is totally weird! Oh well, as long as it installs... We'll have to keep that one in mind. You're other tips are good too. I'll have to look again at these shadows again, never noticed them.

No movies running Starship Titanic on Windows XP

I've installed Starship Titanic today on Windows XP. This game, by Douglas Adams, almost runs even without compatibility modes, but there's one problem, the movies don't show. The game doesn't hang or anything, and the audio plays just fine, but the screen's black. ST doesn't seem to use this format …

Well, what do you know, I could have sworn? The working partition is indeed running Catalyst 4.6! Good catch, Vigilante58. So how are we supposed to find out what ATI changed between 4.6 and 4.7 to make it no longer work as dg doesn't have an ATI? Windbg blames Ati3duag.dll, but I'm not sure that's …

I came across this thread because I wanted to check if anybody else had any problems running dgVoodoo with an ATI video card. Yes, I have the same problem as Vigilante58, I get a blank BSOD when I try to run Tombraider 1, and have to reset the computer. ATI 9600 Pro with Catalyst 4.8 (4.7 reboots as …

I'm using an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro. I don't know about DirectX, I mean 9.0 wasn't even around then, was it? Besides, Hexen II uses OpenGL. You could try upgrading, though. I use 9.0c, I downloaded it of the Microsoft site.

Hm, I might try that. What does it look like, is it noticeable? I mean if you mix original textures with hires textures, do the original ones look odd?

On the other hand, after enabling only the essential drivers, Second Reality, and Unreal seem to run just fine. I don't know how exactly they're supposed to look, but they run to completion, …

I've seen a few of the old DOS demos back then, but I'm by no means an expert. I've found two demos, Ctstoast, and Machines, the winner and runner-up of Assembly 96 I think, and have had some success running them on my Athlon 1.33 GHz, 512 Mb, Ati Radeon 9600 Pro. I do admit I use an ISA Soudblaster …

Nice work, dege! You're right, TR1 still feels a bit sluggish, but 1.22b still is a *huge* improvement over 1.22. Anyway, if I use Alpha-based color keying, and W-buffer emulation, TR1 looks quite good. Keep up the good work! Aldo Bleeker

Is there a way to run the 3dfx version of Pandemonium 1? The normal version works just fine, even under Windows XP, but it's looking very crude. Now I know about the Glide wrappers, and about Glidos and dgVoodoo, but this game doesn't use glide2x.dll, or even glide2x.ovl, but glide.dll, the 2.1.1 …

Emulate W-buffering seems to work fine though, and I understand you've fixed the swimming textures bug, so I'm looking forward to trying a new version. Unfortunately, I just can't get dgVoodoo to run on my normal XP …
