DirectX 8 requirement permanent?
I've managed to get a better computer, but Zsnes dos sound is completely garbled, not to mention that the integrated graphics doesn't like VESA2.
The windows version seems to get past all these problems, but it seems to require DX8. I remember vaguely somewhere that it was planned to drop this requirement, but it seems to have disappeared. Is the DX8 requirement permanent now? Upgrading DX for me is not possible because a bug my video card has whenever it is brought higher than 6.1.

Try updating the drivers.
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

The reason I cannot update is that the Vooodoo2's DX7+ drivers have a rather large bug wherein all transparency in textures disappears. The DX6 drivers work perfectly, but when I use the DX6 drivers Half-life crashes whenever you try to get back to the main menu.
The reason I asked was because I remember a post a while back that said Zsnes was going to roll back from DX7 support. It appears the team has changed their mind and gone to DX8 now.
So it is permanent.

Are you using the last official Voodoo 2 drivers? If you are, grab the latest 3rd party drivers (FastVoodoo 4) from here.

I've tried those before, they didn't help. The problem is that all 3rd party drivers are based on the buggy DX7 version, which means that they also have the transparency problem.Noxious Ninja wrote:Are you using the last official Voodoo 2 drivers?

Didn't know that DX8 increased input support, no wonder they want to keep DX8.
You can update you system's DirectX version while still using the DX7 V2 drivers...Naelphin wrote:I've tried those before, they didn't help.

I'm running DX9b on my old computer with a V2. Still works great.
And Halflife works fine, no transparency issues or anything. Must be something on your system.
