ThunderGL wrapper...
15.01.07 at 02:19:23

Looks like our old mate @Geri of LegendGrafiX has struck again! Shocked

An OGL->OGL wrapper called "ThunderGL"... Grin

(it 'adds' functions to your standard GL driver)

3Dfxzone.it has a news article on this: -

@Falcon, could you upload the wrapper to the archive somewhere - I cannot navigate Hungarian web pages to DL the wrapper... Tongue

(although my guess is that the news story I found was about a 'private' beta...maybe?) ==edit== Looks like I was correct...

Getting old I'll correct my mistake and see to upload it today. -- edit -- Looks like really deep into the Beta phase, but it's being worked on right now (which is good).

maybe 'non-public' is some sort of odd terminology for "I'm trying not to get too over-excited and release it to everyone on the forum and the rest of the world too...oops!" Roll Eyes

LOL!

Anyhow - it's apparently a OGL -> OGL function wrapper for ANY card... Shocked

...wonder if it would eventually allow us to run nVidia demos on our Radeons...NEAT! 8)

On thes picture, is a damaged non-stock ATi Radeon 9800PRO
is visible, with original, hughe cooling on it.
Screenshots also from it. Card has unknown origin.
I am not sure what happended with it, no visible problem with it.

[size=6][yellow]ANTI-VGA-ARTIFACT[/yellow][/size=6]

Anti-vga-artifact version of ThunderGL helping us, to play OpenGL games with defected, memory-doomed, or pipeline burned VGA cards.

Anti-vga-artifact is included in the package from now.
Happy use.

Reply #13 - 22.11.08 at 15:03:34 Would be easier for testers if you had a URL with a download link... ...maybe a sourceforge site... I would volunteer...but I don't have a 3Dfx rig assembled ATM.

Reply #14 - 23.11.08 at 01:26:34 No, this is a closed test, testers are checking the tgl with specified game and specified card, and i on the fly modifying the code and rebuilding it for them. This can be doed only with msn or icq or another instant messaging service.
