Battle Arena Toshinden, Nvidia NV1 (only DOS title for this API)
Tomb Raider for PowerVR (only DOS title for this API) Actua Soccer for ATICIF (only DOS title for this API) All releases with Rendition Speedy 3D support are for DOS. All releases on the Matrox Impression, Paradise Tasmania and 3D Blaster CGL are for DOS. Complete list here:įor the other APIs, you can take a look in this list:ģD Accelerated Games List (Proprietary APIs - No 3DFX/Direct3D)
From the start, 3DFX titles were released with Windows only support, so it was never intended to be for DOS only.ģDFX Glide had the most DOS releases of any 3D accelerated card/API. Some releases are statically linked, and avoids this problems. If you don't have Windows installed with the drivers you either need to manually add the drivers to each game folder or add the PATH variable yourself in autoexec.bat. If you installed the drivers in Windows, this was taken care for you. There were no official released tools/drivers from 3DFX for DOS only. Most DOS releases of 3DFX Glide supported games takes use of the PATH argument to find the drivers needed.
Just a thought as to "What nostalgic era am I trying to re-create by getting all these 3D games working in DOS 6.22 ?" Reply 1 of 7, by leileilol Should I conclude that Tomb Raider 1 patches "just happen" to work in DOS 6.22, or were they really meant for DOS 6.22? Is it possible that they were really written with the assumption that they'd be executed by users of Windows 95 instead? Does this explain why they work perfectly fine in Win9x? The Voodoo 1 came out after Windows 95 and included drivers for Windows. Is it arguable that the Tomb Raider 1 patches are in the same "spirit" as GliDOS, DOSBox (with Glide support), and NGlide? As in, projects to get old game data working in a 3D enviornment on a newer system. But when I think of the release dates of certain patches and release dates of certain video cards, they seem to come after the Windows 95 release date. I know that we can run many Voodoo1, S3, etc. I am starting to wonder if getting these things working in DOS 6.22 is more of a hack by users, and not a solution provided by vendors. The real heart felt question I would ask is, "What era of nostalgic gaming memories am I trying to produce, by builing a pure MS-DOS 3D gaming system?" I am starting to question if such a thing existed from a Vendors perspective. From the perspective of the Vendors, was there actually a DOS 6.22 era of 3D accellerated gaming? My question is mainly motivated from working with Tomb Raider 1, in DOS 6.22 on Voodoo1 and Voodoo2 hardware.
