Uprising: Join or Die + WinXPSP3 Pro + nGlide 2.10. Patched to the 1.05 version. EmulateGetCommandLine and ForceCDStop ACT fixes for uprising.exe.

1) The Help screen (in the in-game menu) is broken.

2) The font is slightly wider. Can't make a good screenshot (256-colors mode?). Not nGlide related.

3) The HPs counter is bugged if the tank is damaged.

4) Ghosting on the horizon. Training 1 right from the start, Priva 2nd citadel etc. Nglide 1.05 not have this bug.

5)Randon CTDs in the 3d mode. Examples: module glide2x.dll offset 1cd6e -- Erudara, after some infantry calls (F1).

6)Training missions CTD (module nt.dll offset 11689) if you press "Esc" to call the in-game menu. If you enter the Campaign screen, select Options/Exit then start a Training mission -- this crash will gone. Not nGlide related.

P. S. Looks like the nGlide 1.05 crash after the exit to Windows is fixed in nGlide 2.10.

Added to the "native, can't force the glide API" section:
  • F-16: Aggressor.
    D3d + software.
    "Uses" glide2x.dll. Installs glide2x.dll in the game directory.
    Can't force dddcore.dll.
Moved to the "native, officially unsupported" section:
  • ReLoaded. Beha_r have created the patch to force the glide API in this game.

Looks like there was the official 3dfx patch for F-16: Fighting Falcon. Hmm...

Team Apache and Xenocracy:
1) Run mprofile.exe.
2) Rename mdrivers.dat to mprofile.dat.
3) Edit mprofile.dat -- replace "GLIDE NOTPRESENT" to "GLIDE PRESENT".
4) Set the R/O attribute to mprofile.dat.

The result -- "Native 3dfx" is selectable in "Change Video Driver".

Really the only problem I consistently have is NHL 98 switching between 640x480 software mode and Glide mode when I'm in the menus versus the actual gameplay, which really bugs me, and I wish there was a way to stop that from being an issue.

Added to the "potential" list:
  • Wings of Destiny.
    _grGlideInit@0 in dddcore.dll. Installs glide2x.dll to the game directory.
    WinXPSP3: freezes (movies?).
    WinME: quits to the desktop if I press the configure button. Can't select the API. The software renderer works.

CyberGladiators:
"cyber.exe -3" forces the d3d mode? Can't test, this mode freezes on my retroPC.
"-d" forces the fullscreen software mode.
"-w" forces the window software mode.
