His words:<br><br></font><br><img src="images/trans_1x1.gif" width="1" height="7" border="0"><br><font class="post_quote">Hello, guys<br><br>I would like to release a new beta version 4.1.0 beta 1 as the conclusion of my working on DirectX part of this plugin. <br><br>After these DirectX combiner fixes, I hope this plugin should work much better for most video cards, not just for Geforce2 anymore. <br><br>DirectX:<br>- DirectX combiner is largely rewritten/enhanced. Now we have three DirectX combiners to choose.<br>Low end video cards - Onboard / RivaTNT / Intel 740i / G200<br>Middle end video cards - TNT / TNT2 / Rage128 / Voodoo<br>Higher end video cards - Geforce/Radeon<br>- DirectX combiner can be automatically selected, or manual selected<br>- Not using manual prepared DirectX combiner data anymore, all combiners data are generated dynamically by DirectX combiner compiler<br>- Tested with Rage128, Onboard, Geforce2, Geforce2Pro<br><br>OpenGL:<br>- Some combiner fixes<br>- Implemented sprite2D functions, still not finished<br><br>Other changes:<br>- Bug fixes regarding texture loading and texture flags<br>- Faster speed<br><br><br><br>This is beta testing version, bug reports are welcomed. <br><br>Know problems: <br>1. zbuffer may not work on some Radeon cards with DirectX (I have no clue why zbuffer can not work as it works fine with Rage128)<br>2. OpenGL 1.2 and 1.3 Render engine/combiner does not work very well, need further debug<br>3. Texture losing problem with OpenGL, As far I know, OpenGL 1.1 works still fine.<br><br><br>Rice</font><br><img src="images/trans_1x1.gif" width="1" height="7" border="0"><br><font class="post_text"><br><br>Thanks Rice, and congrats on the release. :)<br>Download the file from <a href="http://www.emutalk.net/showthread.php?&threadid=11749">this thread</a>.

In this month February 2003, a new Glide3x.dll and Glide2x.dll for Voodoo 3/4/5 including V5 6000 has came with now SSE2 conpilation, support DXTC textures and more performance. This is like a "tune-up" for 3Dfx cards only, NO eVoodoo or glide wrappers.

For 3Dfx cards user, www.nforcefiles.net or www.voodoofiles.com go in 3rd party drivers and search for a GLIDE2x™ 2.61.00.2602 and GLIDE3x™ 3.10.00.2608 and the new Amigamerlin 2.5 SE for 2000/XP Voodoo 3/4/5 2.5 SE or for Win9x Amigamerlin 2.9 release for 3dfx Voodoo4/5 9x/ME 2.9
