Best OS to use Glide wrapper?

Post by Sephiroth »

Does Glide wrappers like nGlide have better compatibility with games when used on Windows 98 than when used on newer computers/systems?

Have tested around 320 winglide games in WinXPSP3.
24 games not install, not run or crash in WinXPSP3 w/o tweaks.
African Safari: Trophy Hunter 3d -- not runs.
I-War -- quits to the desktop after a mission.
Le Mans 24 Hours -- freezes in the "24 hours" mode.
Speedboat Attack -- freezes after a race.

WinXPSP3 is ok IMHO.
ASUS P4P800 SE, Pentium4 3.2E/2 GiB DDR400 (3-3-3-8), Sapphire Radeon HD3850 AGP, 2 Voodoo2 12 MB (SLI), Audigy 2 ZS.
Windows XP SP3 Pro Rus (w/o the POSReady hack), Catalyst 14.4, Voodoo2 W2k 1.02.00 drivers.

While Glide wrappers like nGlide can work well on modern systems, there are cases where older operating systems like Windows 98 offer better compatibility with older games, since those systems were designed to work with the technologies that Glide was originally built on.
