dgVoodoo2 reviews and mentions

• Nintendo Network shutdown – The beginning of the end
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 26 Dec 2023

  Parts of DX5 and previous, such as the "retained mode", are missing from current versions of Windows entirely. Much of the remaining implementation is buggy and introduces render artifacts.

  Open source projects such as dgVoodoo offer a solution to run old games, by re-implementing old DirectX and Glide on top of current DirectX [1], similar to how Wine runs DX games on Linux on top of OpenGL or Vulkan.

  I have not tried this myself, but there are two compatibility wrappers that implement old graphic APIs for modern systems - nGlide and dgVoodoo2.

  You can always use dgVooDoo [0] to translate Glide to DirectX. With great performance, too.

  How to install DGVoodoo2 for use with Windower: download the latest non-dbg, non-api, non-source-code: .zip https://github.com/dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2/releases Unzip it. Move dgvoodoocpl.exe and MS\(x86)\d3d8.dll (just the d3d8) into -- playonlineviewer folder for retail or the same folder that your loader exe is in for private server (you can overwrite any old one in there if you like). Right click on dgvoodoocpl.exe and run as administrator. At the top right press Add and select the same folder as you selected earlier (playonlineviewer folder for retail and/or the folder of the private server loader). On the General tab, set your Adapter(s) to use / enable to your graphics card (note that, if the game won't launch after these steps, then try going back, selecting the same folder again in the dropdown menu at the top, and change it back to All, but it should work most of the time with your graphics card selected and will make sure that graphics card gets used. -- known to be necessary with SurfaceBook laptops, and maybe with external graphics card enclosures as well (untested)) On the DirectX tab, set VRAM to 512 MB (higher if you're using HD textures) and unckeck dgVoodoo Watermark at the bottom.
