Hello Gents, I have Longbow Gold installed on my system, through dosbox.74-2, and nglide 1.05 installed. I have applied the 1.04e patch and would like to get 3d working through dosbox, which I had working a long time ago, but I can't seem to get it to work . Do any of you have any suggestions that may help me out??

AMD Athlon(tm) II X2 220 Processor (2 CPUs), ~2.8GHz
4096MB RAM
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_ldr_escrow.190320-1700)
Page File: 2083MB used, 5593MB available (not sure if this matters)
DX 11

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

There are some DOSBOX variants that specifically support GLIDE.



There was a special DOSBOX version created for EF2000 Reloaded to enable 3dFX graphics.


Not sure about Longbow Gold. I think I used DOSBOX 0.74-SVN for trying 3dFX

I think Eugene got Longbow Gold working in 3DFX...

From what I remember it was only the Windows executable of the game that supported 3DFX.

You are correct.. I looked back at some references and it was only the Windows version. I never owned LB GOLD (Just LB + FPK) so I never messed with trying to get the 3DFX working with it..
