nGlide v1.00 released

[KrossX]

nGlide is a 3Dfx Voodoo Glide wrapper. It 'emulates' 3Dfx Glide Library, so you don't need a 3Dfx Voodoo graphics card to play 3Dfx Glide API games.
All three API versions are supported, Glide 2.1 (glide.dll), Glide 2.4 (glide2x.dll) and Glide 3.0 (glide3x.dll). nGlide translates all Glide callings to Direct3D. Glide wrapper also supports high resolution modes.

Why is it on emulation news?! Cuz...

it makes lewpies glide work by replicating the glide api via direct3d

[the_randomizer]

So I need to find Lewpie's GPU plugin and download the nGlide wrapper?

Found it, it works with Vsync and you can force-enable max resolution depending on your screen size! Halleh-frikin'-lujah!

Okay, downloaded and installed it. 2D games now run without tearing, and at max resolution (force-enabled)! Thanks for pointing that out

[Daphnes]

Any particular reason to prefer this 3Dfx plugin for PS1 over the opengl ones?

I'm not familiar with Lewpie's plugin, though I've been in love with glide64 ever since I found out about it

[Samor]

*cough* ...well, back when I had 2 voodoo2's that was the plugin to go with!

[the_randomizer]

Well, I can now confirm that even with the other soft GPU plugins, the tearing no longer persists and 2D games look wonderful. An excellent wrapper to say the least.

still no support for COMBINE

[haxatax]

the one thing missing to make it work 100% with glide64.

[Paratech]

Thanks for posting the info. I downloaded it.

I had a previous version, but I think I had saved it to an external hard drive that I think 'died' recently.

Its going to be a while before I redownload all the data I lost.
