Trying Glide wrapper again...

[Alex_Dynamite]

...and I get this. What does it mean?

[ApeX__]

shit i used to know this one!

i think it has something to do with trying to run in 1024x768... try bumping it up a little higher

(it only supports 1280 x XXX i think)

[Alex_Dynamite]

Nope, just tried different resolutions. No change.

I've also been trying different combinations of the other settings. Again, no change.

If more info would help, just let me know.

Give us your system specs and take a picture of your glidewrapper options screen.

[Alex_Dynamite]

Hmmm...let me see...

ASUS V9520 graphics card w/ NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 & 128mb, on an ASUS P4S800-MX Motherboard.

My OS is WinXP Home, version 2002. I have 512mb RAM and a HP Pavilion v70s monitor.

My guess is that you have the refresh rate set too high, try setting it to something like 75 or 70.

Also, try enabling vertical sync.

And what CPU do you have?

[random_monkey]

Also, what version of the glide wrapper are you trying there? - when I tried it I had about 3 times as many games as that. Could it be you're using an older version?

[ApeX__]

try running it in 1280x1024. that always seems to work for me

(my settings) Also, make sure to have the "Application specific overrides" check box

checked when applying the settings

[Alex_Dynamite]

Yeh, I had an older version, as you can see in my screenshot, but I went and got the newer version, as Apex has.

I also made a few changes to the settings of Carma2, including resolution & refresh rate.

There was no change. It won't work and I still get that error.

As for my CPU, I don't really want to say, but I will.

It's an Intel Celeron 2.0 GHz.

[ApeX__]

damn, seems like your out of luck

(did you try opening C2 from the "carma2_HW.exe"?)

[SoupaVedg]

On which site can I go to see if I have the most rescent version of the wrapper?

[Alex_Dynamite]

Yes, I did. No change.

And I do believe it would be here.

[TheJkWhoSaysNi]

Try a different wrapper.

I use dgVoodoo with no problems. (And it lets me use 1600x1200.)

Look at the "Running C1 using a glide wrapper" thread in this forum. Setup is basically the same but you just need to choose windows rather than DOS and you don't need VDMsound.

[Alex_Dynamite]

It's...fucking...beautifull!

djVoodoo did the job! Works like a charm! Thanks very much!

Not only do I now have C2 in high-res, but it runs better and I have the fog effect!

Here's a screenshot. Doesn't show a whole lot, but I seem to like it.

[SoupaVedg]

Does that DjVoodoo work with Win98 (Yes, I still use '98, and I'm proud to do it! :P)

[Alex_Dynamite]

I took a look at the read-me. Says it does.

Nothing wrong with using 98, it's still good. Besides, not all the old programs work well(or at all) on XP.

[TheJabMan]

Well, the menus have black squares where the words should be, it runs at about 8-FPS and oh yeah, it looks like this:



The Other wrapper works in 640x480, but Im looking for hi-res.

Spec:

2.2ghz 2500XP

768mb mem

80gb + 30gb

Nvidia 6800GT

WinXP Pro

[TheJabMan]

Double post!

Turns out I had an old version of GlideWrapper, and um yeah it works all good n stuff.

1280x1024 happiness.

[Alex_Dynamite]

Excellant!

That whole white thing looks odd, yet, interesting. I see you also happen to be in the ski track.

[coffeycup]

I'm glad I read this post. I had and old version too, couldn't get that to run in hi-res.

With the 082B version I finally can, and my cursor is no longer confined to the upper left quadrant of the screen.

What a difference!!!!

[Tony]

I think that pic look sweet! Who needs textures anyway..

[codemonkey]

your eyes would be burning out by the time you had finshed a race with that much white!
