Hey ppl,

Here is a beta of my new plugin. It has plenty of errors but I am very happy with how Zelda MoM is looking now.

Cheers!

Hello Icepir8,
I have a question.
I get insanely low speed with your plugin: 10 FPS max at mario64, compared to 60-80 FPS with jabo's, and 170FPS with Glide64. I tried to fiddle with the settings of the INI but i only found the uCode there, my question is: does the INI contain more options that aren't there by default?



[EDIT]
System Specifications:
CPU: Celeron 850 Mhz
Video Card: 3Dfx VooDoo 5 5500 64MB AGP
OS: Windows 98 SE
DirectX ver: 8.1

The problem you are having is that 3dfx never supported OpenGL. In you configuration you have two options.
1. find a better OpenGL driver for your card. I would try Glsetup.
2. Use Dave2001's glide64 plugin. This one would make the most sense IMHO.

Cya,

Firstly thank you for the Quick reply, i thought the same, though it's not accurate. The Voodoo 5 does support OpenGL but i assume that it does so very badly.

Secondly i am using Glide64, in fact i am a beta-tester, and i'd like to thank you again for all the help that dave says you gave him :)

Yes it will.

The voodoo 5 uses a kind of ogl wrapper, called OGL minidriver. This might cause the slow-down. Not sure tho.

I dunno ??? That's why I said not sure. And if it was it was a wrapper for a specific game, Oh and it was used in HL as well, just remembered. this would mean it had no native ogl support.
