Is it possible to use dgVoodoo 2 on Ubuntu?

Post by matandked »

In the Internet, few people asks for merging Glide/3DFx wrappers directly into Wine project.
However, it seems that it does and will soon does not happen.

I wonder, if such wrappers are fully compatible with Wine / could anyone use them without issues? Wrappers like http://dege.freeweb.hu/dgVoodoo2/?
If no, what is the best way to run 3DFx era programs under Ubuntu? I remember that my tries (with pure Wine + winetricks) almost always ended with some artifacts or very bad performance.

I use it all the time, tho it works best with DXVK installed and using a Vulkan capable graphics card because it uplifts lower Direct3D versions to Direct3D 11 and I'm not sure WineD3D is upto it with Direct3D 11, I drop the DLL files into the games exe folder and then override those DLL files in winecfg works like a charm, to use the control panel you need to run that also in wine.
