You haven't read the guide, then.
If you read the guide, can't follow the example in it and don't understand anything at all... you're completely beyond help.

If this game works in windows, why is he trying some complicated way of getting 3dfx.......does that make the game alot better?

Anyway play the game how R.u.s.s said, try the 3dfx way when you know more about computers.

In theory it does improve the graphics. Texture smoothing, filtering and a few other things the game couldn't do with software rendering alone.
I've used a Glide wrapper only once, with another game, but the results were a fair improvement.

Simply mount your CD drive as D:\ in dosbox with whatever CD in it and run the game with
maindos
from the game directory.
No probs here......

It apparently won't run if you don't mount a CD .....

[Edit]
Forgot to mention:
The dosversion (didn't test the Win version) is indeed ready to run in dosbox, no install needed. Sound and all are fine.
FYI: works also fine in dosbox 0.74

Default ignition

hi. im trying to run ignition on a virutal pc xp and i can run the game normally by just using the .exe file but not with fullscreen. If i start it thru dos it runs fullscreen and everything else works but its runs way to fast, almost twice the normal speed, is there anyway to get fullscreen the normal way or run it thru dos and slow it down?

i have tried dosbox but I come further than the loading screen if i start that way

thanks in advance

Hi!
I played this game a lot back in the days, and wanted to start playing again. I'm using windows 7 ultimate 64-bits and dosbox 0.74. In my config file ive made some changes to my resolution and fullscreen, changed aspect to true, cycles=10000, cycleup=1000 and cycledown=1000.

However, when i try to launch maindos, it just fades to black and nothing happens

What am i doing wrong here? WOuld be very grateful for any help.

Best regards, Andreas

VPC can go full screen and back with F12+ENTER
But best solution on modern hardware/OS is still dosbox.
