UncleLijiah: One more thing, I'm running a nVidia 6150 SE nforce 400 integrated graphics unit so what Glide would you recommend for this thing?
And that should do for a moment good sir.
~S~
* Okay I reread and noticed the Glide goes into the game and not into the graphics card by a miracle of science.
So my question is: These Glide wrappers can be used in older games to enhance the graphics? Or some of the older games?
But key here is 'Glide into game' folder.
The DGVooDoo ones can be used on those older games that were designed for Glide Graphics. The CJGlide wrappers were set up specifically for RB3D and have not been tested on other games.
The OpenGL one I have uploaded was originally made for multiple games, but GabiLaser did some modifications to it specifically for RB3D to allow for better graphics performance and avoiding a graphics bug in RB3D.
(RB3D had this bug that if one used more then 4 MB of graphics memory, one would get massive graphic corruption. GabiLaser modified a OpenGL wrapper to allow one to use 8, 16, or 32 MB of their graphic card's memory, but make the game think only 4 MB was being used, therefore avoiding the graphic glitch.)

There is no tweaking with this one, just put t in and see if it works. I get 20 to 60 FPS with this one
(
I have my Nvidia Card FPS locked to my monitor's refresh rate, so not sure I could how fast it can really go. One reason is RB3D's performance is connected to the FPS rate. When I have gotten 100+ FPS with Direct Draw mode, the planes respond so quickly that it feels like they are greased lightning and I pop the wings off very easily. By keeping the FPS limited the plane don't go from being controllable to overly sensitive in a split second.)
Which Glide wrapper is best? Depends on your computer and graphics card, and it relly does not make sense (at least to me). Try a Glide Wrapper and see how the game looks and performs. Then replace it with another and test. Then pick the one that gives the best speed and visual punch.
DGVoodoo is suppose to work best with Nvidia cards, but for my XP machine, the OpenGL wrapper worked best for me back then. DGVoodoo 1.5 is suppose to be an upgrade to DGvoodoo 1.4, but for me on my Win7 machine, DGVooDoo 1.4 gave much better then performance the 1.5. (I was getting 5 fps with 1.5 whereas I was getting 30 fps with 1.4)
So, you just have to give them a try and see which one works.
After You put your Glide Wrapper in, you need to reset your games graphics preferences. So in the menu, select Preferences, => Graphics, => Advance. Set everything to maximum quality and distance, select Glide and the greatest resolution possible. Then test the game in Fly Now. Then try another Wrapper, and another util you know which oe gives the best performance. Then if you need to, go into the graphics preferences and reduce settings if things are a bit sluggish to boost performance.
