GPL 3dfx in a window?

5 posts by 5 people · 10 Jan 2000 - 11 Jan 2000

Is this possible? I've got a Voodoo3 2000. Just trying to get this autochat program working (GPLOMe) and thought I'd try something new... David Cook
Anything is possible, I've been thinking of writing a Glide3x GPL rasterizer (and maybe a DirectX one after that). The goal would be increased performance but a side benefit would be the ability to run in a window. Would be nice if Papyrus would release the specification of what their internal rendering library looks for in a rasterizer, but I don't think that is a requirement (more like a small hurdle). - George
Please go ahead George! :)) best wishes Tim L

If you do that the GPL community will be very glad and if you can do the dx thing Sierra should send you lots of $ as it will sell some more copies of GPL! And there will be more great drivers to race against. Borut
