Basically this Driver was apparently more or less ready, but after Creative announcing it, 3dfx threatened to sue Creative if they were to actually release it to public.
(at that time, Glide basically had a monopoly, most games were released for it and some were even Glide only)

As far as I know, it was never released and also never leaked.

As it is, non-3dfx owners are still limited to the known Glide Wrappers, which are not that bad (and basically do the same that this Driver was supposed to do).

this Gide program from Zeckensack aak a friend of dborca has one of the best working Glide programs for non-3dfx based Hardware:
http://www.zeckensack.de/glide/archive/GlideWrapper084c.exe

here some info and an in program screenshot:

Usage and configuration

As you're reading this, you should have already run the wrapper installation, so you're basically good to go. A lot of Glide games should be running just fine with the default settings. For a list of tested games, see below. You should, however, fire up the configurator at least once and set a "resolution limit".

The configurator can do a lot more, though. You'll be able to configure global settings and application specific overrides for games you've run at least once (or I've run at least once; I've supplied a premade config that already "knows" a few titles).


it would be wise to read this page also:

there is only one problem-you need a radeon or geforce card if you want to use zeckensacks glide wrapper.for nvidia tnt,try dgvoodoo glide wrapper,but I'm not sure if tnt2 has enough power to emulate glide at acceptable speed.

hmm he has a TNT Model64 which has 64Bit SDRAM not really powerfull enough for Glide Wrappers I ashume also not enough mem bandwidth I guess.

get a new video card i would say... TNT2 M64 sucks really bad!

.... and an ATI radeon 9600 XT 256mb DDR2 will work with a glide wrapper ?

yes it will :) it depends morely what your sys specs are ;)
here a list of cards that will work and also in 3 different types of classes:

I tried it with Turok and Unreal and it worked perfect with a GF3Ti200.

ah cool :) hehe well my Leadtek Ti4600 and XFX 6800 AGP cards also work perfectly with this program with Unreal Tournament Game Of The Year Edition 1999 and Tactical Ops 3.4.0 in Glide without probs too, even the Mobillity Radeon 9800 does great also Glide on teh laptop!!! Finally!

I just hope zeckensack will add multitexturing support soon..and perhaps the ability to render glide apps in window.LCDs suck (mainly the ones in my work office :P).

Title: Re: Nvidia Tht2 Glide emulation
Post by Obi-Wan_Kenobi on 11.01.06 at 15:19:14
so Multitexturing is needed for only TFT support, I thought that that was a 3D feature  :-X

Title: Re: Nvidia Tht2 Glide emulation
Post by ps47 on 11.01.06 at 15:43:40
nope.mutitexturing is just good to have,thats all.windowed mode is what would be useful for LCD panels..

[glb]do you think it would work with my geforce 5500? The glide wrapper, that is[/glb]

Title: Re: Nvidia Tht2 Glide emulation

Works with my GF3-Ti200 if that is any help.

Title: Re: Nvidia Tht2 Glide emulation
Post by ps47 on 10.02.06 at 11:55:26

Here is a driver that contains a built in glide wrapper, and compatible with GeForce, Radeon, SiS/XGI, 3dfx, 3dlabs and s3 cards. This is a WindowsXP driver. This driver support D3D/OpenGL/Glide for all of this cards (no d3d for Voodoo2  ;D )
In site can be read about some issues around GeForce cards, but i tested it with my Radeon and it worked without errors. Driver can download from http://SetupGFX.tk

Driver's size around 60 mbyte, and its like GLSetup, autodetects and installs graphics cards.

had a look at it,its basically just a compilation of all sort of drivers,including SFFT for v3/4/5 with zeckensack glide wrapper included.ask me,a 100% perfect way how to break copyrights and piss off a lot of people.
