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.

If you mean the Quantum3D version (rather than the MAT3DE version), then I use nGlide Glide wrapper for that, with the launch command on the shortcut of Rush640.exe -U (640x480 res then nGlide can be set to upscale it), the -U unlocks frame rate, as it's really jerky by default.

That HD Hydro Thunder picture looks awesome.

I'll repost all the other upscaled old racing games images here a bit later on, in case anyone's interested? Basically I took a collection of older D3D racing games that ran at around 640x480 to 1024x768 and upscaled them to 1440x1080!
POOTERMAN:
Can't believe I totally missed this topic somehow! Anyway, wanted to have a game of Offroad Thunder and remembered it was on the Midway Treasures 3 pack so loaded it up tonight with Howard's loader. The loader works great (Big thanks Howard) but the game launches in a very small window on my 32" 4k monitor:( Has anyone had any luck in trying to get this game to launch in full screen mode (not a maximised window) or do any of the DirectX/Glide wrappers dgvoodoo/nGlide etc work on Offroad Thunder in order to get it to run at a higher resolution?
Howard_Casto:
Umm FXTConfig.exe.... uncheck "windowed". If it is still running in windowed mode then something is messed up on your end. For the record, no, the game is rendered natively at 640x480 and while I can get the resolution to increase via hacking, the render size is still 640x480, just stretched.
