You'll have to go into current.cfg and change the gl_driver line to 3dfxgl manually. There's many OpenGL games that don't bother enumerating the Voodoo1/2 (...by assuming from presence of glide2x.dll in many cases which is a bad practice) and switching appropriately to their ICD. Daikatana is one of...

1. Yes. There is an ARM dynarec
2. Win2000 drivers for Banshee/Voodoo3 cards do have some widescreen resolution support, but that's way out of the usable scope for a Pi that can only handle a 486SX consistently at best.

It's real behavior believe it or not! I76 doesn't know what to do with >2MB texture memory. It's one of those Glide games you should tick that 2MB checkbox for (in the 3dfx driver panel). And if that fails, use a Voodoo Graphics instead (with a 2mb+2mb configuration)

Enable the recompiler on the Voodoo emulation and the timing should be much faster. You should be seeing 48.2 on P133+w98se+Banshee

That's a question that's even difficult to answer with the real world variance of actual hardware. There's always a combination that a game will have a problem with. One of the more popular common computers in the US were 95-96 Packard Bell Legends, which were often lower-end Pentium machines with l...

I've also had some differencing VHDs not boot because it thinks the parent was modified - which they were never modified (and set to read only after they were created+finalized anyway) The only thing I can think of about this is... possible daylight savings disreprancies? Parent was 2-18-2021, diff ...

You didn't mention your video card. I'm assuming Voodoo3 from the regression of EGA fonts from the VESA 3.0 BIOS extensions, so try an older video card

1) Roms go in ROMS. When PCem detects them, you'll be able to use those cards. Getting Windows to recognize them often depends on finding their appropriate driver software and installing them. Win95/98 should ship with drivers for many of the earlier PCI cards (S3 Trio, ATI Mach64 etc) and DirectX 3...

On the back , it does state that a Pentium 133MHz is a minimum requirement. Consider it's a 1998 release, well into the 6th generation of processors (Pentium II / AMD K6-2), 5th gen CPUs were already starting to show their age at this point to this particular rush of Win95 3d multimedia (especially...

I've a Sis496 486 config with Adaptec AHA-1542C and the CD-ROM works using Adaptec's ASPICD.SYS driver through MSCDEX 2.23.

334h, IRQ 10, DMA 7, SCSI ID 7

I've accidentally made a differencing VHD to a differencing VHD and have broke the VHDs in the process.

oops

7-zip can also get at filesystems in img and vhd files (but can't write to them)

For AMI WinBIOS 486, you'll have to enable LBA.

I can think of two possible reasons...

1. Your CPU's too fast for Windows 95 (>350MHz)

2. The bootdisk being used to install is possibly infected with a boot sector virus sabotaging a fresh install immediately. (FIC VA-503+ would warn about this)

I'm assuming you don't have the proper video drivers installed as you may lack a OpenGL ICD (i.e. Windows' own WARP GL->D3D wrapper for their stock drivers doesn't implement everything)

See this thread too http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3499 Satisfying DX9 games often requires at least DX7-baseline level hardware (if the game's generous enough to have safe pixelshader-less paths) and the gamut of that falls outside the realistic hobby-attainable scope regardi...

PCem doesn't emulate Logitech mice.

I almost think it's PIO transfer mode on the host machine, which Windows can sometimes inadvertently.turn on when it has trouble reading a cd (which can happen with some protected CDs) and can be very tricky to reverse. I personally use CloneCD/VirtualCloneDrive when dealing with my protected games.

3d games in 99 were targeting Voodoos as they were a major part of the market and they were very compatible with problematic Super7 motherboards (a major budget enthusiast part). The only thing you're really missing out on are the very few games that have 24/32-bit textures, very few games that have...

I'd also like to point this out My aim is to be able to run 3dMark 2001 (or even 2003) smoothly. The generation of hardware PCem emulates have never run either of those smoothly in the real world (even with HWT&L capable hardware like a Geforce4), so you're setting your expectations (from even the m...

Voodoo2/3 drivers new enough (>Nov1999) require a minimum of DirectX 7 installed to work.

Art's my main hobby and even I'm not sure of what the icon could look like (given the broad coverage of 6 computer generations)....

It'd probably have to be a very scaleable SVG for wx theme consistency, which is way out of my familiar comfort zone anyway (32x / 48x @ 256c at best)

Banshee and Voodoo3 can't SLI.


SLI would come back for the Voodoo5 later on in the form of having more VSA-100s doing the work on a single card.

If you don't want to take a chance on the internet as a driver source (I don't blame you, there's a LOT of sketchy driver websites that just want to put their 'easy' Windows-based 'updater' to obfuscate actual driver downloads which show up at the top of the searches for about 19 years now), you can...

Make sure a minimum of DirectX 7 is installed prior to using Voodoo2 drivers from November 1999 and later.

IPC is what really counts. More cores however do benefit the Voodoo emulation (especially now that you can use 4 per card, like 8 for a Voodoo2 SLI) IPC's been improving only at a glacial pace in the past decade though (compared to 1996-2006 which were like at least 4 distinct computer eras). Gettin...

One of the big benefits behind the recent Voodoo Banshee emulation is that some games that *almost* work can have fixes made in a more comfortable testing environment (where no hardware is at risk from the scientific process), and as a result, i've almost got Phantasy Star Online (PC) playable (whic...

This happens when something confuses Win95's IDE controller device drivers (like changing motherboards), try removing them and restarting a couple of times to redetect them. If that doesn't work and you're really desperate, you might want to try a real-mode driver (of the mscdex + oakcdrom/nec_ide.s...

The AMD K6-2 has 3Dnow! extensions and 3dfx Voodoo2 and Voodoo3 drivers after 1999 can take advantage of them for performance gains (which can lead to heavier emulation). The achilles' heel is the VIA MVP3 chipset on the actual boards (historically, they'd skew agp compatibility towards 3dfx cards a...
