Hello. Just bought Blood (one unit whole blood) from gog.com (digital). Ran the Blood installer from the glidos page, and copied my blood02 - blood09 ogg files over, but the game wont play.

Hello. I recently purchased glidos, as I wanted to replay TR1 and Carmageddon. TR1 works great. No problems whatsoever.

Dave Hauser, Paul Gardiner

I'm running TR1 using the latest version of Glidos, along with the special version of DOSBox for Glidos, on a 64 bit Windows 7 system.

@ First: Please sorry about my bad English because I'm from Germany Yesterday I had buy the Unlockcode for Glidos 1.46 to use it for Windows 7 64bit and the special Dos-Box.

Thomas Bohmgahren, Paul Gardiner

I've just released v1.46. This release finishes off 64bit OS support. All the features, including the mp3 audio packs and fullscreen FMVs, now work when Glidos is used with...

Hi, I've just released v1.45 of Glidos. v1.45 can make use of an altered version of DOSBox so as to work on both 32bit and 64bit XP, Vista and W7.

Paul Gardiner

Haven't played TR or TRUB in over a year. Now, when I click on Start in Glidos for either game, a Glidos prompt states "Can't copy pif file to C:\Tombraid\." How can I fix this?

I'm running Tomb Raider in Glidos 1.44. Everything works great except for when I adjust any of the user controls, then the game freezes.

Eryn Burgess, Paul Gardiner

A while ago I added True3D support to Glidos, but it worked only on Zalman monitors, which I can imagine people haven't rushed out to buy just for the sake of using Glidos.

Paul Gardiner, Pete Galey

New Glidos version 1.42. Two main changes: 1) Set up to work under 32bit Vista "straight out of the box".

Paul Gardiner, globox globox, Tom Curda

I don't get to play games often, and I sat on Tomb Raider 1 for a very long time. When I finally went to play it in recent weeks, I downloaded Glidos, VDOS and all of that.

Joseph Lepore, Paul Gardiner

I recently re-installed Tomb Raider (with the advanced installer – all according to the instructions), and I attempted to start the game with Glidos.

wendy w., Paul Gardiner

I've just released v1.41 of Glidos and v0.8 of psVoodoo. Both now support 3D Monitors that use line interleaving, such as Zalmon.

Paul Gardiner

Hi there Is there any way to tell Glidos to send Tomb Raider to a second monitor in a multi-monitor set up?

Pete Galey, Paul Gardiner

Hi I tried glydos to run TR1, and also the recommended other downloads with great results. I was so impressed that after playing three of the first levels I decided to pay for...

Julie Owen

Talk about deja vu all over again…... I've just rebuilt my computer, and reinstalled glidos, vdm sound etc.

wyn palmer, Paul Gardiner

Hi, I have a laptop PC that runs Glidos and Tomb Raider just fine while locked, with the spinning logo displaying. The PC has an internal hardware modem that is never connected to the internet, PC is only used to play games. Will a key purchased from your unlock service (and downloaded by a different PC) be able to unlock this type of setup?

I've just released v0.8 of VDos32. It has been updated to work with Glidos v1.39, activating all the in-game music of Tomb Raider I. So now people running 32bit Vista can take advantage of the feature.

Paul Gardiner

I always wanted to ask Paul, but never did. What's the thing with the shadow hack that Glidos can fix ? I asked recently the authors of Dosbox (which via the Glide patch actually doesn't get to produce Lara's shadow) but they don't know much about it. My question is : is that a hack that really fixes a glitch in the original Voodoo Rush version (since "straightforward" software TR1 does have the shadow after all) ?

gidier gidier, Paul Gardiner

I've just released Glidos v1.39. This version, with the aid of Kevin Bracey's patched Tomb.exe, allows you to hear the entire set of sound tracks that appeared on the PS1 verion of Tomb raider. All you need to do is: 1) Install Glidos v1.39 or later. 2) Install Tomb Raider using the preconfigured archive of Tomb Raider for Glidos.

Paul Gardiner

Will the Glidos server operate TR2?...assuming I could get the stupid game to install on my Windows XP Pro? Where would be the best site to ask about how to install TR2 on my computer? :(

Lynn Perry, globox globox, R R

Hi, I couldn't find a hint for my problem on that forum so far so I ask now generally for some help (for Tomb Raider backed by Glidos). I recently downloaded the audio packs and installed them in the glidos file. At first all seemed to run smoothly with the dialogues in the entry sequence and the thrilling background music in level one. But after that the music has vanished – nothing more in level two and three apart from the basic sounds.

Originally from: deanna i bought tombraider gold to play on xp and did all of the directions and blah blah, well it's time to play and the glide server is up and i click 'play game' and it tells me that my d drive is empty but my game cd is in the e drive because the d drive is a zip drive and cannot be used anyhow!! how can i change the default of what this glide server box is looking in so i can play my FREAKING GAME!!???

I did download a trial version of Everest Ultimate Edition. But, as I suspected, the instructions seem to be directed at people who are "computerese-hip". Nowhere did I see anything that said (in PLAIN LAYMAN'S ENGLISH), "How To Test Your PC Memory" or "How To Tell If The Test Found Anything Wrong With Your PC Memory".

Lynn Perry, Paul Gardiner, sstrand sstrand, Adrian Adrian, Robin Watts

Paul: I tried running TR1 through Glidos, with the Direct3d instead of OpenGL. The game itself seems to work just about as well through there. However, I also tried running Orthos while doing this. The same thing happened as before. After several minutes my pc started beeping intermittently. When I left TR1 to check it, the Orthos had stopped again and was showing all red with errors.

My processor is an AMD Athlon xp 2000+ (1.66 GHz) and a compatible EPoX motherboard. Is Glidos 1.38 known to have problems with either of these pieces of hardware? The pc keeps crashing a lot when I'm using the Glidos server. Also: My sound card is a Creative Soundblaster Live series card (Live 100, I think). Video card is an nVidia GeForce 6600 (has built-in 256MB RAM). I think this card is a 32-bit. I'm not sure. Also have a 1.0GB stick of RAM.

Lynn Perry, Paul Gardiner, globox globox, Jake Walsh, LH LH, Stefan Stefan

I heard somewhere that you should only download nVidia graphics card drivers directly from nVidia, and not from Microsoft. Because a lot of the newer games require OpenGL support and Microsoft drivers don't support OpenGL. Is this true?

Lynn Perry, Paul Gardiner, globox globox

I'm trying to learn how to use the Glidos 1.38 server to run TombRaider I. I'm using a KDS monitor, 17" ( about 15.5" actual screen). Is there any particular screen resolution on the Glidos server that seems to work best for this?

Lynn Perry, Paul Gardiner

New versions out. A few more cases of unstable unlocking sorted Audio in Vista 32 now working without glitches Improved FMV quality

Paul Gardiner

I've just released new versions of Glidos and VDos32. The main difference is improved support for Tomb Rainder I on 32bit Vista. The FMVs now play full screen and the background music doesn't continue through the FMVs. Also VDos32 now supports Descent II.

Paul Gardiner

I've just released v0.5 of VDos32 (http://www.vdos32.com) General improvements, including better cooperation with Windows, so that it's safe now to press F1-F4 when running TR1, without it locking up. Now supports Redguard, in Glide mode at least.

Paul Gardiner, Reuben Otis

I've installed Glidos v1.36 and VDMSound v2.1.0, (three times, three different installation routines); at Lara's home and at the first level of the game, the background segments, (wall panels, floor/ground sections), are distorted, appear to be reflecting some other surface and rotate as the camera angle changes. Also, inside Lara's home and at the menu ring , the Glidos logo is present.

Joseph Boyd, Paul Gardiner

Having had a new hard disk fitted to my computer. I have had to reload Tomraider. But It will not run the dos window opens and some lines of text appear, then it goes back to the glidos window? I did load a back up of my old Tomb raider files (Complete set of files) also tried a new load with the advanced Tomb raider loader, but this does not work?

Jon Thomas, Paul Gardiner

Here's a new version of VDos32. There is some small hope that this might work under 64bit Windows. Could someone try it out.

Paul Gardiner

Hi, I've just released v1.36 New features: Widescreen mode for laptops (only in Direct3D mode) Made Direct3D mode display in 24bit colour (16bit is still an option) Fallback to 16bit depth buffer for cards that disallow 24bit depth Manged texture mode for running TRX textures on cards that have insufficient memory (Direct3D only). This was in v1.35 but I can't remember announcing it before.

Hi there!! Could you tell me if it is possible to run resident evil 1 under glidos. I don't understand how this works and if there is a list of games possible to run uinder glidos. If resident evil is possible to run under glidos could you tell me the rigth configuration??

Filipe Ribeiro, Paul Gardiner

Originally from: Gary Mitchell I'm having a problem running TR1 and TRUB under Glidos, they won't start. At first Glidos complained that I had the wrong versions of TR and TRUB, but I copied over the versions that it likes. Now a DOS window opens up showing that DOS4GW has started, but then it just sits there…nothing after that. It's almost as if it locks up.
