hmm maybe the glide.dll's of the Barracuda might work on the Piranha, since the Big Barra should be able to do the same 3d renders as it's predecessor the Piranha Wink

Just an idea there Smiley If that does not work what about the Glide.dll's of a Voodoo Graphics or an Obsidian 100DB-4440?

@Gary - I'm assuming  that you had the same problem as  the Q3D stuff with Screen cap. programs... Roll Eyes

...namely that a camera picture shows ALL the detail that the card renders, whilst a screen cap. program only captures one TMU and looks crappy. Tongue

Then again. maybe not - I'm just assuming! Lips Sealed

I'm happy to see it's functioning. I was concerned when I saw the writing on the back bracket. It looked a lot like "def." as in defective.

Developer maybe? So far the board functions flawless.

Worked on the Barracuda board tonight, still have a bit of work to do before I try running it again. Some stuff was knocked off by the lout on Ebay.

Maybe tomorrow I'll try some more screenshots, I think I have hypersnap around here somewhere...

use IrFaNView Gary it works perfect with OpenGL, Direct3D and Glide Screenshots Smiley

You can ven set the gamma if pics are too dark and so on and sharpen them if needed.
here's IrFanView, It free and it's all you need!:

I can try it but I'll stress this point again- The Piranha card doesn't use any of those API's.

Just Tempest.

No dice- Piranha works with two monitors and the program captures whatever the primary screen is showing.

...

I did get a nice screenshot of the Tempest control panel though.

Nice B744 Gary !! w000t B744 = Boeing 747-400 Wink

does it fly well, is there also a cockpit mode?
Anyways the graphics look pretty sicko for that time of day, man glad to see you got it's runn'n and does it need Windows NT4.0 + SP6 to run or does 98SE do the job well enough?

There is an "inside view" but I have not found a cockpit setting yet.

Runs fine under Windows 98SE.
