Glide Wrapper Problem

June 19th, 2002, 18:10

My current card is a voodoo Banshee but just running SupraHLE using the normal Banshee drivers results in slow framerates and it also makes the sound skip. I have been getting better results with the use of glide wrappers but one problem puzzles me. On Zelda OoT the game TOTALY freezes my computer and my sound system lets out a small but consant beep. ITs not my drivers I know that for sure. It seems to freeze when certain text boxes in Zelda OoT come up. I was wondering if it could be a setting in the glide wrapper. I am currently trying to use XGL 200 v0.04a and eVoodo. It is also not the rom, ive also found that. Does anyone know what the problem is?

You really shouldn't use a Glide wrapper when you have a Voodoo. All 3dfx cards have superb performance under Glide environment(without wrappers), so probably there's a problem that's holding back your Banshee's Glide performance. Download the latest drivers(3rd party, since officials are not being developed anymore) from http://www.voodoofiles.com and try again.

I agree Zephon being a Voodoo user myself. What are the specs of the Banshee? I forget.

Actually I fixed the problem. The Glide Warpper greatly improved the performance of the emulator. No more slow downs or chopy sound. Its great. Tell you the truth my drivers were already updated so i dont know what the prob was. Aw well all that matters is that now it works
