Hacking Hydro Thunder..err Offroad Thunder (Updated)
shaolindrunkard:
Whats weird is the first time I ran it it worked flawlessly. Now its very glitchy the sound is jumping around and it seems like its running at too high an FPS because the gameplay is super jittery.
Wierd.

The MAT3 versions do some weird rendering tricks, so dgVoodoo won't work with them.

I'm currently grabbing screenshots of old racing games up-rezzed to HD. Some really look good (Colin McRae Rally 1 for example: http://forums.codemasters.com/discussion/47401/colin-mcrae-rally-1-in-hd).

Here's Hydro Thunder (Eurocom port, not MAT3DE version) in HD 1440x1080, looks tasty, although 30fps hurts (compared to Hydro Thunder Hurricane):
p.s. the MAT3DE versions I think use DirectX9+ perhaps, as dgvoodoo2 only supports up to DX8, so that might be why they don't work in high-res.

It looks really good man. Have you tried contacting the author? It appears that the project is still active and he is trying to add games on a case by case basis.
VirtuaIceMan:
Oh yeah you can follow the project on VOGONS http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=34931
Many, many games work on dgvoodoo2, I did a big screenshots selection of racing games, but it's only on a forum that not many people see, I may post it elsewhere soon...

Thanks for posting that. Once upon a time, I had SF Rush the Rock looking sweet with this. But at some point I lost it and when I started messing with the game again, I couldn't find the same glide wrapper. I knew I was missing a lot with nglide.
