dgVoodoo 2

Can be used to force anti-aliasing and higher resolution.
Instructions[1]
  1. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2 and extract it (verified working on version 2.55.4).
  2. Copy all the files from the MS folder and paste the files into the game installation folder.
  3. Run dgVoodooCpl.exe and in the DirectX tab set the resolution and anti-aliasing.
    • For best results use resolution that is 640x480 scaled (like 1280x960) and set scaling mode to Centered.

Notes

If shadow rendering is broken, in in-game video settings set Shadow Effects to Minimal.

Notes

  1. 1.0 1.1 When running this game without elevated privileges (Run as administrator option), write operations against a location below %PROGRAMFILES%, %PROGRAMDATA%, or %WINDIR% might be redirected to %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore on Windows Vista and later (more details).
  2. 2.0 2.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/730830/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (730830) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
