DOSBox has not implemented glide support.

Gulikoza created a patch for DOSBox and compiled it into his own build of DOSBox and it's been available for quite some time. It's not new.

Yes, Carmageddon should work with dgvoodoo. Just change the glide2x.dll that comes with my build with dgvoodoo. But leave the glide2x.ovl (dgvoodoo version won't work!).

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 (sdk2_*.h files) which are available in the OpenGlide cvs. You need to run autogen.sh before running configure."

This is a little confusing, and I'm not sure how to go about using the linked .diff file, could you possibly give me instructions?

Apologies for the noobiness! 😉

Use gulikoza's build or ykhwong's ((:

The game runs but switches back to windowed mode and stays black, but plays sounds.

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 gulikoza's patched build?

Thanks guys!

hm. yes? 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 running, but I get the same results in Dosbox whether it's running or not. Are there any additional settings in the Dosbox configuration file I need to enable?

Also, (I'm not sure if this is relevent) but I get a "Low memory version invoked" message when I start Carmageddon 3dfx.

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, then increase memsize 😁

Right, so DgVoodoo.exe doesn't need to be active while running the game? Gotcha.

Does this mean that the advanced features of DgVoodoo like higher resolutions, bilinear filtering, etc... can't be utilized? 🙁

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 DgVoodoo/VDMSound. If this isn't possible via Dosbox, then I'll just call it quits I think. Someone's bound to get it working one day. 😀

In the mean time, I'm replaying Red Baron - which looks terrific with the Cartoon shader, btw.

Please. Wtf are pedestrians doing in tunnels and streets? Carmageddon was all about going off road and having fun in pedestrian zone. In the demo video you can only drive on road and going over "mutants" is just like collecting little shinnies that give extra score but do nothing extra - and Im not even sure about the score 😉

Looking for brains obviously 😁

I wasn't aware that dgvoodoo is able to resize the game. There is some code in the glide patch specifically for dgvoodoo to resize the window to the game requested resolution (dgvoodoo fails to resize the window on it's own). I have done some quick tests and it seems like dgvoodoo might be indeed rendering at a higher resolution but it is being scaled back down. I have no idea how to figure out what res dgvoodoo really wants to set 😕

I tried gulikoza's latest DOSBox build both ways (original glide2x.dll and dgvoodoo's glide2x.dll) - in both cases I get black screen (after seeing the 3dfx splash screen), but I can hear the music/sounds. What could be the problem? This is odd since using dgvoodoo standalone (outside DOSBox) I can play the game (but it has it's own problems - no sound at all, jerky car movement). Any help would be nice.

I have been having that same issue as well. except I do not get a third person view ( I do but the car is invisible) and half the screen is black and you can not see the othe Racers. When I change to cockpit view...I can not see not see the hood.

Try this:

1) Download and unpack ykhwong's dosbox build (it contains gulikoza's glide patch too)
2) Delete glide2x.dll from dosbox folder
3) Set memsize=63 and fullscreen=true in dosbox.conf
4) Install nGlide Glide wrapper

5) Play the game 😀
