I've got Glidos for TR1 and it runs great because it was designed specifically for TR1, and it wasn't free:(
I'd like to atleast have a look at some other games like Carmageddon and Blood with a halfway good and reliable wrapper; can anyone recommend anything? I may only be doing this for shits and giggles because I actually like the old feel of old games, still I'd like to have a look. Thanks

Thanks man! Very nice of you considering I'm always giving you crap about Sacrifice. Of course, you know I only do that out of love! :D

You'd better buy it eventually. I'm not kidding I will kill you if you don't.

nGlide I think also works with Red Baron 3D on GOG which you asked about earlier in that sub-forum

So um... Would it be cool if you added me to your "has Sacrifice" list sooner rather than later?

It would really help me sleep tonight :D

There's a pretty nice Glide wrapper for Diablo II that you can grab here. http://www.svenswrapper.de/english/index.html

I actually tried that but I've found wrappers with point and click tend to be a problem because it can stretch the screen from what was intended and make it a big pain. I played D2 for a while and realized it was more fun without.

Does anyone know how nglide works? Does it just search out your pc and find any 3Dfx games and kick in? And yes I realize this is kind of a silly question but I'd like to know if its actually running or not.

generally you put the files glide2xx and glide3xx into your game folder (if you just want it for that game) or into your system folder (if you want all games needing glide to find it). Then there is generally an option in the game itself to use Glide graphics versus DirectDraw or whatever other graphical options the game has.


Other glide wrappers are: dgVoodoo, openglide, and zeckensack's wrapper (what GOG used to use before switching to nglide)

Out of curiosity did you decide to get Red Baron? :)

I havn't decided yet. I'm playing a lot of driving stuff and dungeon crawlers right now. When I get the hankering for a flight sim I'll probably pick it up.

Oh, and thank you!

edit: I can't even find those files. This has become a bigger pain than it's worth. Think I'll call it a night. Thanks for all your help, really!

I also spelled the names slightly wrong: glide.dll, glide2x.dll, glide3x.dll (you don't generally need all three - it depends on the version of glide needed by the game).

You don't need to change any files; simply install nGlide and all Glide-capable Windows games will automatically see it; it also works for DOSBox games after some necessary tweaks.

Of course you will also need to choose the 3Dfx renderer option in the game's settings. nGlide shows a 3Dfx logo when a game is running in Glide mode so you can easily know whether it is working. The logo can be toggled on and off in the nGlide Configurator.

Some games need specific tweaks in order to work properly with nGlide and/or modern Windows versions; see the nGlide compatibility list for details.

Is that because nglide installs the glideXX.dlls in the system folder? Some of the installers do that so that every glide game can see that. Cool about the logo. I haven't tried nGlide yet, been meaning to.
