Re: To start using 3dfx.
Mr. Omarsis81 , he got 3.2ghz base and 3.6ghz turbo, i m sure when he run PCem his cpu works at 3.6 and trying hard, You however have 4.0ghz base and 4.4ghz turbo and please do check, cos when your cpu does very hard work is always pushing turbo, non stop and i belive yours on PCem does the same and...

Re: To start using 3dfx.
To Arkl1e, Omarsis81 is right, sound sluttering is only happend if your cpu can not emulate 100%, you have i5-4570 @ 3.20GHz so p166mmx should hopefully work fine and always at 100%. I m using Diamond stealth 3D 2000 as of yesterday and it does not cause me any problems. I m not an expert at all, bu...

Re: To start using 3dfx.
Leilei, You surprise me a lot. thanks for the info. I forgot about PoverVR, it didnt make much impact i gues. I didnt know about matrox impression, i gues it was way worse than even s3. And surprise again, i didnt know that PoverVR relay on bus transfer, Wonder why 3dfx didnt make that way? Renderin...

Re: To start using 3dfx.
to Arkl1te "Shouldn't Voodoo devices emulate 3D acceleration though, even if it's detected as a multimedia device? Not even Voodoo1?" Long time ago, when there was no graphics card with D3d acceleration, no openGL, no Glide , and all cards had only 2D acceleration, 3dfx releases voodoo1 wh...

Re: To start using 3dfx.
Leilei, You right, i was wrong , dx is not only card and and stealth3d 2000 also have d3d acceleration, although 325 and 375 are almost the same, but i didnt know that 325 had acceleration, just cos when i tried to install sleath 3d long time ago, i must had wrong driver and i could not get d3d work...

Re: To start using 3dfx.
Like Omaris81 have said, you probably have installed 3dfx card, but if you set drivers in windows to "ordinary" vga display adapter, you will only get 16 colors. If your display adapter is , "standard VGA" or "VGA display adapter" or similar , that is the problem, win95...

Re: 3DFX emulation
Thanks Leilei, You probably right. BTW i run today, codename eagle full version , on p120MMX and voodoo2 , both Voodoo d3d/Glide run well, but when game starts and briefing shows bird/plane view of the area , you can see clearly that something isnt quite right. Game is running suprisingly well on p1...

Re: 3DFX emulation
Strange, i run today RE3 on p120mmx with voodoo2 and i could not get any display errors, game was absolutely fine on voodoo2. Previously i run voodoo 2 RE 3 on p100/66, minimum cpu for the game , acording to manual is 200mhz, so it must have been MMX, dont know, but maybe that was the problem, which...

Re: 3DFX emulation
Resident evil 3 works fine.
Voodoo1 have tiny problems, i have been messing around a bit with it, when you shoot the spreaded blood have white square boxes around, also some water droplets have it also, on voodoo 1 , otherwise seen no problems on voodoo1 , and no problems on voodoo 2

Re: 3DFX emulation
Mr/Ms Startmenu, Leilei must have good desktop, being able to emulate p300mmx at 100% needs fast cpu , and running nfs on vbox XP is not fun, every, even old computer can do it, my poor laptop can do it , no probs. Beside You can install XP on Your computer , as a second system and still You will ge...

Re: 3DFX emulation
to leilei , "can play 100% execution smoothly in NFS3 with Voodoo2 on PMMX 300MHz" that can catch alike 100fps on voodoo 2 in PCem , yes extremally smooth, in 640x480 on med. detail is smooth using p100 , on p166mmx is smooth on max. i suspect you must have good rig, but try to run at lowe...

Re: 3DFX emulation
To Dear user Startmenu. Thanks for the info but the line" So DOSBox (and its third-party SVN builds) is not actually faster and sometimes even slower" is far from truth, i had dosbox with voodoo + win95 and it is way slower, try to run quake 2 , you can run dosbox and PCem at the same time...

Now i can build version with every CPU speed like MMX 115mhz, etc, i always was a overclocker,and its nice to see that i can do this now, an...

Re: Can we make PCem much faster?
Thank You Sarah and Dreamer , you did straighten me up. And Your explanaition is quite clear, also now i know that it is much better to translate dx/openGl for graphics (why i have not thought that? stupid). Anyway, PCem performance is still exceptional, and i m extremally surprised how well and fas...

Can we make PCem much faster?
Hi everyone, finally i can ask question which is bothering me for a couple of years. Dont get me wrong, PCem is by far the fastest and the best emulator ever written, and i do not saying that to lick your ass, only cos i have tested everyone over the years and PCem outperform every single one like 1...

Also Return to Castle Wolfenst...

Re: Host machine survey
I have poor i5 2410M 2.3? but PCem always run at 2.7 , and it is well enough to run p90 , on winn98 and most games on p100/50 at 100% .
BTW new voodoo 2 emulation is much faster. Thank You.
