Glide64 bug...

felinusz · May 20th, 2003

I have recently been experiencing a problem with Glide64.

When Glide64 is set to run in a screen resoloution that is larger or smaller than the current desktop resoloution it causes a problem after the fullscreen-mode has been exited (by pressing ESC to go to a window), the window of the emulator (it contains the 'GFX cannot run windowed, please run fullscreen message) is either smaller or larger than the desktop and tries to alter the desktop size accordingly (at least it does that to me) which causes the emulator to report 'Not Responding' and makes me have to [Ctrl-Alt-Delete] the emulator (and then I have to alter the desktop resoloution back to the one I was using before).

I know that this sounds EXTREMELY weird, but it is happening... If anyone knows how to fix it, please do tell... If not then please tell me anyways so that I can contact the makers of this awesome plugin (in case they're reading this now... :grin: ) and report this without the possibility of being made to look very stupid when they tell me it's a known issue.

I am using native Glide, not emulated wrapper-glide.

This problem occurs with both the Amigamerlin and 3DHQ 3rd party Voodoo 5 drivers, it persists whether or not my GeForce 2 MX 400 and its drivers are present or not, and occurs with every game that I have. It also occurs in Glide64 versions 0.30, 0.31 WIP, 0.40, and 0.41 (I'm a packrat).

Thanks.

Yes I found a solution to this. Use koolsmokey's new Glide3x file he put out on Feb. 11. It works perfectly when using this. I can't tell you how much i hated that freakin' problem.

Simply type in "Koolsmoky" into Google or something and it should be the first webpage that pops up.
