ekj7: Thanks ekj7 and Manfromx, I'll try this once I got home. A few follow up questions I guess:
- Is there any command that I can put in my batch file so that i76.exe will start using only one cpu core or will that 'start /w /affinity 1 i76.exe -glide works?
-I have dgvoodoo downloaded. There's no instruction but thanks to you, I'll try put it on the same I76 folder. Is there anything that I should do to make sure the game uses this? Is it going to be -d3d or still -glide? My card is also Nvidia, not ATI. Will this work still?
I'll give this a try along with FRAPS if it is going to work better than CPUGrab...I still cant find the best setting for my CPU that wont cause the wheels not wobbling.
The game already locks itself to one core, something GOG likely configured. You can tell this by running the game, then trying to set affinity from task manager.
dgVoodoo works because it replaces glide2x.dll, which the game is already linked too. So it's just a substitution with more functionality. Just need to specify the "-glide" parameter to use it.
If you've got cpugrab set to 70% and you're getting stuttering, then it's set too high. Try a lower value.
I tried it with CPU Grab and with the game locked to one core, didnt give me good result, unfortunately. Damnit they need to issue a patch :(
I tried setting the CPU Grab down to 10% and now it is no longer stuttering, but the wheels are incredibly wobbly. Plus all the menu and the main movie is now somehow rainbow colored.
EDIT: Apparently I made a little mistake by putting the main icon using -d3d while my batch file using -glide. I fixed it so that it wont use anything for the main icon, and my batch file will use -glide, plus I used the compatibility mode for Windows 95, plus all the options mentioned on page 1. Getting no more stuttering on the audio, and the wheels are less wobbly on 80%, HOWEVER the performance started to suffer. Stuttering framerate I'm not sure what else to do.
So far, my conclusion is either sacrifice performance to get non-wobbly wheels and Taurus drunk driving, or get those annoying wobbling driving, but very smooth performance. Honestly, both situations are not really win-win. Anyone here with Windows 7 64 bit, multicores, and Nvidia card managed to get it to run? Are the GOG teams investigating into this?
