Hi,
Recently I've been using what are known as 'glide wrappers' which work quite good, but for a few games (POD3dfxdemo says it can't find 'glide.dll' even though the glidewrapper is installed). Now I was wondering if such wrappers exist for cards like the Riva TNT and other very old cards. I'd very much like to play Resident Evil 1 + 2 in accelerated mode. DOSBox emulates some video and sound cards but only inside a dos environment, and for dos games only. I'm thinking middle eara here, where games used more than directdraw (dosbox mainly deals with 2d cards?), and which only worked with a few specifics (sometimes only 6 cards in the world were listed on a game's box).
Final Note: Cards that didn't use Direct3D or OpenGL but were still '3D acceleraters'. Think early VR, Matrox, TNT1 + Riva TNT, that sort of thing.
