If you try dgVoodoo then make sure to use DeGe's latest dgVoodoo 1.50 Beta2 to be found on his website. This is a huge improvement over the previous versions and has special RB3D treatment programmed in. I have 70 FPS with 1600x1200 resolution, 16x Anisotropic Filtering and 16x Anti-Aliasing with dgVoodoo 1.50 Beta2. Even with mods like FCJ, HASP or WFP2 + terrain loaded. Also take a look at these dgVoodoo setup tips provided by Gabi Laser.

I'm using ROTJ3R11 with PL2/PL combo terrain/effects. Amazing terrain colors! OTE/PL combo or PL2/PL combo updates ALL graphics files in the game.
ROTJ you can fly some 2 seater missions and even fire the front guns as long as you have Gabi's RELOAD program installed, no date switching as in WFP.

Thanks for the heads up on this Toadvine. Jus getting back into RB after a couple of years, and this wrapper makes a huge difference, way better than any others on my machine.

Many thanks to Gabi .

Evening, Chaps.

I tried the latest wrapper from Dege's VooDoo site, but all was not all that fast: about 25 fps and jerking around. But now I have downloaded the one from von Helton's site (as mentioned in Toadvine's note above), which is as smooth as silk, as he describes.

However it is all too fast though. The sound has sped up, the planes are about 15 - 30% too fast too.

I have set the glide.ini so that the screen refresh rate equals that of my LCD (60Hz), which slowed things down a lot.

But, is there another way of slowing things down WITHOUT using Turbo (which came with the old xp repair pack). That just seems so arbitrary to me - gunghing up the CPU until everything "looks right", rather than linking performance with something in the real world.

The reason I ask this is because all of this Glidos/DegeeVoodoo/D3D stuff eludes me, and apparently having an ATI card ASUS EAH4870 is very different from nVidia cards. This I believe given how everyone has good luck with the degee voodoo wrappers, and I didn't: not until Gabi's Glide256 came along.

Unfortunately, Gabi's help page doesn't seem to be working any more.

George.

GlidOS (256 & "09rc9") uses OpenGL to interpret GLIDE calls and dGvoodoo uses DirectX.
For this reason the "Glid2x.dll" that comes with each are not interchangeable.
Make sure you're using the Glid2x.dll that came with the wrapper. If you change wrappers you must also change the Glid2x.dll.
In addition the "First Aid Kit" may resolve overspeed issues.
dGvoodoo 1.50beta2 should be the preferred wrapper. The recommended settings are just that, "recommended", as there may be settings you can tweak to make it right for your system.
A lot of folks miss using the Right mouse click menu on the dGvoodoo settings page (which is not visible)which is very important.

Thank-you for the information, Skid. Nice and clear if I read it s l o w l y , which is what I need.

I will download dgVoodoo 1.50beta2 AND check I have its .dll installed AND use the Right Click, which I am pretty sure I haven't done before!

Salute,
George.
