Re: Any chance to support Windows NT4 for retro gaming, its limited to DirectX3/5, OpenGL is working fine?



I've seen a performance hit of 20 fps in 70% or odd crashes in the 7.5 release it is really not advised.

20 fps hit, does not mean much, if games are runing at lests say 100 FPS, but if they are with 7.3 running 40 FPS and 20 FPS is barely usable.
But it still depends on Which HW and setup ...

That OpenGL32.dll is indeed from MESA the only one I found with GLSL shaders 1.20 support that might be broken. again, I only advised the 7.3 release.

I mostly TEST 200+ educational games. I've seen a performance hit of 20 fps in 70% or odd crashes in the 7.5 release it is really not advised.

This is proof that GLSL shaders 1.20 is passable but should not as it is unstable or worse unplayable.

If people see's this test with NVEDIA. even than of how it performs might be bad for some games.

Re: Any chance to support Windows NT4 for retro gaming, its limited to DirectX3/5, OpenGL is working fine?

I validated that DXGL works with NT 4, but it is slow in software rendering. Still, if you have NVIDIA graphics you might have a better experience. Yes, DXGL Works, however, I did not test GLSL shaders 1.20 due to unplayable with under-powered FPS., only game that was tested was Scooby Case File #2 ...

Re: Any chance to support Windows NT4 for retro gaming, its limited to DirectX3/5, OpenGL is working fine?

windows nt 4 does support GLSL shaders 1.10 by default, & 1.20 disabled due to GDI mode 2.1 related issues that even FunkyFr3sh is struggling for performance, so I will assume that it works but it will be slow. here is my next question is it 1.30, to my knowledge 1.30 does not exist at all in ...

Hi this is MicahMoo11, does this work with GDI (opengl 2.1) software rendering. as I am testing mostly TLC games. some examples https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nax1XTAhQvYlurWbSma0kZ8aqFfdz8as?usp=drive_link , to my understanding 3d processing rendering and 2d processing rendering are ...
