Download ykhwong's CVS build from my signature.

Thanks, unfortunately I cannot download the Glide2x.ovl from the Data section.
There is always an error message...

Ok, now it worked.

Trying it now...

So, I've installed the correct TOMB.EXE (Voodoo-patch), I copied
GLIDE2X.OVL into the game directory, I'm starting Tomb Raider
out of DOSBox CVS edition with Glide=true set in the configfile.

But after the Tomb Raider intro DOSBox crashes.
What do I wrong?

Is it possible that the error is because I had dgVoodoo installed formerly?
Since I did not find an option to uninstall dgVoodoo properly, I just deleted
the files.

Can anybody help me?

it's an experimental build using experimental patches.
there is little support for that.

Have you configured TR's sound settings properly? It works alright for me w/o any problems (Voodoo-Patch & CVS build 05.01.2007).

Maybe you should try downloading a different Voodoo/3Dfx patch. The size of the TOMB.EXE I'm using is 853 KB - there's another one (1.08 MB) which doesn't work.

Hi guys,
i have the Sold Out version Tomb Raider 1 (using dgVoodoo) and i followed the installation steps and everything worked fine. But the game shows Lara in the top-left corner of the screen just as if the camera has a 320x240 viewport, and in the other parts of the screen looks like the lasts vertexs of the rendering port have been stretched... Look it here: http://www.geocities.com/samueldantas

Please help me, i have tried a lot of configurations, changed all options but it didnt worked...

Thank you.

Vagrant :
The problem you're having is that tombraider isn't running at the resolution DOSBox is running at. I mean, if you look at the picture then you can "immagine" black borders round the screen rectangle (Lara should be always in the middle of the screen). To fix this problem see the FAQ.doc on this forum for more info on "Small screen in fullscreen dosbox".
The stretched ground is a result of drawing things by 3D games outside of the players screen. Nice example of what I had talked about in this post, of 3D games being wastefull
Strange thing

Added problem to the FAQ.doc.

To All :
How to install Tomb Raider 1 with Glide on, see the FAQ.doc on this forum. Remember, it will only run on Glide enabled DOSBox builds like the one from ykhwong.

Hi ErikGG,
thanks for the answer but im not using the DosBox with Tomb Raider im using dgVoodoo that uses VDMSound. I have tried to run TR1 with DosBox but its just too slow...

And i cant find the FAQ.doc in that post that you mentioned.

Nice avatar, Piccolo rlz 😁

Then why do you post in a thread that belongs to "DOSBox Games/Apps" ??
Post your question in one of the GlidOS threads.

Next version should be faster btw.

Ok, no problem, I assumed that you meant you were using the dgVoodoo version of Tomb.exe wich is required btw to run Tomb Raider in DOSBox.

Better to ask for a sollution in this forum then in the DOSBox forum as else people start to get confused :
Windows

Is a resolution problem though, don't know dgVoodoo so I can't help you further.

Erik.

Sorry for posting here.

Thanks for the help.

Ok someone please tell me what a glide does because i keep hearing about them but i don't know what they are. I checked pictures of games with glide and it does not look different to the game without glide and what is a dgvoodoo.

Glide was an "old" standard for displaying 3D games, like DirectX and OpenGL are the standard now. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glide_API
But using Glide and emulating it, by passing the Glide data to DirectX or OpenGL with some conversions, speeds up some games. Tomb Raider is one of those games.

The original Tomb Raider exe doesn't support Glide though, see my FAQ.doc for more info on how to install Tomb Raider with Glide enabled.

Emulators supporting Glide are :
dgVoodoo
Glidos
And because of Gulikosa's Glide patch DOSBox too. Only DOSBox CVS versions like the one from ykhwong though.

Erik.
