I'm having issues getting POD Gold to run using my installation of nGlide, even with PodHacks.
I'm unsure if there's some step or something I've missed but searching about seems to be running me in circles
I did see mention on some 2016 posts about a v2.2 but POD's only updated to 2.1 for me.

Got POD Gold 2.1 installed via Galaxy, PodHacks in POD's installation folder, where it made its INI and ReadMe without issue.
nGlide 2.0 is installed and from prior experience seems to be working fine.

I'm mostly looking for getting the game running at native res, which nGlide does, and got the splash screen enabled to just make double sure it's working, but POD doesn't seem to be using it when I start it, no 3DFX splash and a much lower res, unsure if it's 800x600 or not, but about that kinda area.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! :o

did you rename glide2x.dll ind POD Gold directory to something else like glide2x_backup.dll so that Pod no longer uses it?

I've not tried that, no. I'll give that a go, thanks :)

EDIT:
That seems to have worked perfectly, thank you n_n

Hi, can someone tell me where can I find the PodHacks? I tried with google but "pod" is such a generic word nowadays that nothing relevant came out.

EDIT
I found them with Duck Duck Go but it was a google doc link, I'm not sure the file it's legitimate. Also, it's the 3.9 version, is it the latest one?
