Extracting the BIN files, converting the OGG to 44.1 KHz 16 bit WAV and burning a mixed mode CD gives you the full MS-DOS installation CD.<br /><br />On Windows nGlide seems to be the easiest / best way to make the game look nicer. It will render at 1080p with 4:3 aspect ratio just fine.<br /><br />However I ran into issues getting the PSX music going. Lots of dead links and no clear guide / resource. Does anyone know more about this topic?<br /><br />Also in 3dfx mode, F2 is display FPS, F3 AA but what does F4 do?philscomputerlabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16930882798859248137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6993165553021868648.post-71052546449473004622014-08-10T10:40:37.626-04:002014-08-10T10:40:37.626-04:00There is at least one official version with broken...There is at least one official version with broken CD Audio tracks.

The Matrox m3D has a PowerVR PCX2 chip, like the Videologic Apocalypse 3DX (and 5D, 5D Sonic). PCX1 and PCX2 need different patch executables for Tomb Raider.<br /><br />The Verité V1000 had solid Direct3D support, better than everything else pre-Voodoo1, but it was significantly slower than Voodoo1. Verité V2200 (which can also run TR1) roughly reached Voodoo1 performance.<br />The reasons for Rendition's failure were more complex, a big part was that they were late to market.<br /><br />ATI Rage and S3 Virge also had patches for Unfinished Business (see http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=33483). Matrox Mystique and Rendition Verité did not have patches for UB. I *think* there was only one 3dfx patch for UB, but I don't know which kind that one was.<br /><br />The original Voodoo1 patch is supposed to work with Voodoo2 cards provided you set certain DOS environment variables (see eg. http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=35721).idspispopdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869350823378550040noreply@blogger.com
