Posted - 02/10/2013 : 09:41:43 Grazie per la segnalazione echelon.
PS: effettivamente mi sembra alquanto "sperimentale" come progetto... comunque è bello vedere che c'è gente che ancora lavora per tenere vivo il mito della 3Dfx !

Posted - 01/10/2013 : 18:10:04 Wow si stanno dando da fare. Vedo che ci sono ancora problemi con pod gold.
Ti segnalo, se non ne sei a già a conoscenza, che è ripartito il progetto dgvoodoo http://dege.freeweb.hu/
Non per tutti:
dgVoodoo v2.2 (released: 06.12.2013)
3. Requirements ---------------
- Operating system: Windows Vista/7/8 with DirectX11 installed. - Hardware: GPU supporting DirectX feature level 10.1.
4. Tested on ------------
Operating system
- Windows 7
Graphic cards:
- Intel HD 2000: Seemed to work OK but with low framerates, not recommended.
- GeForce 8600 GT: I used a special build for this one since it does not support feature level 10.1. It worked OK as well (apart from lack of mipmapping) but with low framerates too.
- ATI Radeon HD 6450: Works OK and usable with low resolutions.
- GeForce GTS 450: Works OK and usable. Larger resolutions like 1280x1024 or larger can cause performance drop in specific applications. (I'm hearing the howl: is 1280x1024 large resolution?? Haha.. But do not forget, it uses a lot power for exact emulation.)
- GeForce GTX Ti560: Works like a charm.

Posted - 28/09/2012 : 20:39:22 Duke, grazie, ottima segnalazione! Riporto qui la FAQ evidenzianto un punto che per certo è di nostro interesse:
I have a Glide game that doesn't work/has bugs with this glide wrapper. What can I do? Send to us an e-mail/create a topic in the forum with game title, operating system version, graphics card name/model, nGlide version and of course full problem/bug description. Good idea is to attach some screenshots.
Does nGlide also support DOS Glide games? Yes, but not in native Windows environment. You must install DOSBox with Gulikoza's patch. Choose one of these three builds: Ykhwong's, CosmicDan's and Gulikoza's. After installation delete glide2x.dll file from DOSBox directory (if any) and set memsize=63 and fullscreen=true in dosbox.conf. Last step is to install nGlide. Now you can run DOS Glide games from DOSBox console.
Does nGlide support widescreen monitors? Yes, nGlide supports 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen resolutions. For these, you can set original 4:3 aspect ratio to avoid image stretching.
Does nGlide render in 16-bit color depth? No. All is converted and rendered in 32-bit, no matter what color depth mode is selected in-game. This eliminates color banding problem.
How to enable antialiasing with nGlide? Go to your Display driver panel and select 'Override application setting' Antialiasing mode.
How to set Windows 95 Compatibility Mode? Right click on the game .exe file and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab, and choose 'Windows 95' from the list. Click Apply and OK button.
How to Disable desktop composition? Right click on the game .exe file and click Properties. Select Compatibility tab, and check 'Disable desktop composition' option. Click Apply and OK button.
My Glide game is working too fast. Go to nGlide configurator and set 'Vertical synchronization' option to 'On'.
I'm experiencing screen tearing effect. Go to nGlide configurator and set 'Vertical synchronization' option to 'On'.
How to disable 3Dfx logo splash screen? Go to nGlide configurator and set '3Dfx logo splash screen' option to 'Off'.
How to make your own game patch? 1) Download and install Microsoft Application Compatibility Toolkit. 2) Run Compatibility Administrator. 3) Click 'Fix' button. Enter game name and browse game exe file. 4) In the 'Compatibility Fixes' dialog try selecting some of these fixes: 'CorrectFilePaths', 'EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace', 'GlobalMemoryStatusLie', 'EmulateDirectDrawSync', 'EmulateEnvironmentBlock', 'EmulateHeap', 'EmulateFindHandles', 'SingleProcAffinity'. Make sure you have 'DisableBoostThread' fix unchecked. 5) Save your patch to *.sdb file. 6) Create install batch file (PatchInstall.bat with content: sdbinst.exe -q "%CD%\yourpatch.sdb"). 7) Create uninstall batch file (PatchUninstall.bat with content: sdbinst.exe -u -q "%CD%\yourpatch.sdb").

Posted - 15/09/2012 : 15:59:01 le GLide erano le librerie con le quali erano scritti i giochi per le schede 3Dfx, quindi è in grado di emularle (o forse è meglio dire tradurle...) per fare girare i giochi accelerati in 3D specifici per 3Dfx, come ad esempio Ignition, Croc 1, Tomb raider 1, ecc.
ciao.

Posted - 15/09/2012 : 10:18:15 Finalmente la versione 1.0. Dopo la dipartita dei sviluppatori di dgvoodoo avevo temuto il peggio, ma devo ammettere che i creatori di nglide hanno fatto un gran lavoro in questi ultimi anni. Da provare senz'altro. Grazie per la segnalazione.
