Blood 1.20 3DFX via Windows XP

There's tones of Glide Wrappers but am using dgVoodoo. Just copy all the dgVoodoo into a Blood 1.20 install folder. Load up MS-DOS command prompt and run dgVesa.com then 3DFX.exe.

Ofcourse, run FRAPS before hand if you want to record. FRAPS will pick up the OpenGL screen mode by showing you the FRAPS FPS in the corner of the screen.

This is running in native MS-DOS under Windows XP. No DOSBox, no emulation, no virtualisation.

The only drawback is sound. SDA doesn't accept sound emulation either, so no VDMSound. I bought a SB16 PCI card off eBay (cheap) so I can run native sound (didn't record... somehow I recorded my microphone instead!)

Anyway, will SDA accept this?

Is this video straight out of Fraps?

It looks all blurry with high contrast like it was filmed with a cam or something.

[andwan0]

Yes, recorded NATIVE MS-DOS PROMPT from Windows XP SP2 using Fraps.

Using 3DFX wrapper for Windows. The wrapper was on default settings... so yes it looks too bright. But with some tweaking can make it look murky / darker / better.

I have yet to record again using Windows XP1a or even Windows 98SE since Blood runs best in older Windows (with exception to REAL DOS coz there's no video capture for DOS).

Interesting. What was causing the Windows dialog noise in the background?

[Ceekur]

Oh I remember hearing about this issue. Didn't know a fix was never issued though. Somehow I never ran into it happening though.

all games with 2D sprites sucked with 3DFX

[filipetolhuizen]

Too bad this 3dfx patch is way too buggy. It'll always crash after a level and a half.

Did anyone else think that someone was pinging their nick in mIRC while watching this video? I sure did.

Thanks for the video. Thumbs up.

@andwan0 Windows NT doesn't have a DOS prompt, it has a CLI that looks similar to DOS, but isn't.

Windows NT also doesn't support applications making direct calls to hardware (like Windows 9x did) so DOS games cannot have sound since they all try and access the sound hardware directly.

Having a real mode application directly mess with hardware in a multitasking OS usually leads to massive system instability (which is why Windows 9x crashed so frequently.) VxDs were also a pain in the ass.

@Mosquit what didn't work with DOSBox? 3DFX? Remember in my video am using a 3DFX Glide Wrapper which is only XP/Vista/Win7. If you tried the 3DFX executable directly from DOSBox then am sure it should've worked - if not, must not be supported and DOSBox devTeam should be ranted at. Otherwise, Blood (normal, non-3DFX version) runs fine under DOSBox.
