Multithreading patch for 3Dfx Voodoo emulation? #5206
Comments
There is QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx out there offers beyond any Voodoos emulation in TRUE GPU acceleration up to modern OpenGL 4.4 and Direct3D 9.0c SM3.0 since 2018. If you would just be playing BLIND as VOGONS @vogonsorg, then you can rest assured to wait in ALL your ETERNITY and nothing will happen. What a FOOL made you believe multithreading is the definitive answer to significant speed bump in 3Dfx Voodoo emulation? The narcissist dosbox-staging already got their faces slapped in reality check dosbox-staging/dosbox-staging#3040 as dosbox-pure switched to hardware OpenGL rendering for 3Dfx Voodoo emulation. Or, you're just the remnant from the 0xDEAD and abandoned PCem fantasized in the "freaking-fast" threaded "broken" 3Dfx re-compiler in hope of the continuation of such RETARDED Accuracy *BS* in CPU brute-force "fake" 3D acceleration that FOOL'ed the World into believing. Believe it or not, it could be one of the reasons why such project is 0xDEAD, as *STUPID* and deceiving as it was. |
Performance data for 4 to 23 threads Effect depends both on host hardware and game used (~ 5-50%) and Pure decided to go with 7 threads. |
Sounds like you're the narcissist to me bub. |
@fuel-pcbox Prove my words in the WRONG then with the *Funniest Bluff of PC emulation* in Athlon K7/Pentium III with *NVIDIA RIVA128* emulation by PCBox. |
The data is outdated. If it had added a column for "kekko OpenGL Voodoo chip emulation", then you would have got the point. GPU offload acceleration is way better than CPU. With the addition of DOS and APM v1.2 idling patches for DOSBox, one will have less fan noise and longer battery life on laptops playing 3Dfx games with DOSBox. The new 3dfx Voodoo Hardware OpenGL option is huuuuge and massively improves performance :) |

Yes, of course.
What you want
Hello all, can someone implement the multithreading patch for voodoo emulation in dosbox-x? This is because the software emulation is too slow for me, unfortunately. I'm waiting for this since 2022, and nothing has been made so far.
