i know dude, but it doesn't work

i have spoken to Zecken himself about this and apparently the 2 uprising games uses a mode of Depth comparison which can't be emulated.

its why i think a complete port to opengl would work much easier

unless someone can help him implement depth compare.... coz im not really cluey with the 3dfx spec strings

tried dgvodoo v1,40?
3/4 of the glide wrappers ive teste during the years isnt close to
meeting the reqierments by the 3dfx glide real life test i have.
these are the ones that do qualify
Mglide 1,246H
dgVoodoo 1,40+
zeckensack's Glide wrapper 0,84C

some the other ones may get the tests starting, but hardly have enough
support fog and critical texture formats to be usable.

lol trust me.. i've used ALL the wrappers

Zeckensacks is the only one still in development and that actually looks good on most of the 3dfx games i have :P

there was one wrapper.. i think it was evoodoo... it got some images on the screen.. but the hud was screwed and colours were messed up

i miss the good ole 3dfx days
