Previously I've used zeckensack's wrapper, but it's only compatible with XP. Just found
nGlide, another free 3dfx Glide wrapper that seems to work beautifully. DOS Games are supported through DOSBox, but there's instructions in the FAQ (located on the bottom of the page linked above) to enable support for DOS Games, as well as how to make your own game patch. Eh, what the heck, I'll copy-paste it below for the lazy.
It'll probably be easier to read on the actual site though cause I'm not taking the time to format the text.
Compatible games list (FS1 isn't mentioned, but I tested it fine under Windows 7 x64)
Requirements
For the most games (running at full speed) this configuration is good enough.
Processor:1-Core Intel / AMD at 2.0 GHz
Graphics card:Compatible with DirectX 9
Operating system:Windows XP / Windows 7 / Windows 8
Installation and Playing
Run the nGlideXXX_setup.exe and click the Install button. That's all. Now you can play your 3Dfx Glide games.
Frequently Asked Questions
I have a Glide game that doesn't work/has bugs with this glide wrapper. What can I do?
Send to us an e-mail/create a topic in the forum with game title, operating system version, graphics card name/model, nGlide version and of course full problem/bug description. Good idea is to attach some screenshots.
Does nGlide also support DOS Glide games?
Yes, but not in native Windows environment. You must install DOSBox with Gulikoza's patch.
Choose one of these three builds: Ykhwong's, CosmicDan's and Gulikoza's. After installation delete glide2x.dll file from DOSBox directory (if any) and set memsize=63 and fullscreen=true in dosbox.conf. Last step is to install nGlide. Now you can run DOS Glide games from DOSBox console.
Does nGlide support widescreen monitors?
Yes, nGlide supports 16:9 and 16:10 widescreen resolutions. For these, you can set original 4:3 aspect ratio to avoid image stretching.
Does nGlide render in 16-bit color depth?
No. All is converted and rendered in 32-bit, no matter what color depth mode is selected in-game. This eliminates color banding problem.
How to enable antialiasing with nGlide?
Go to your Display driver panel and select 'Override application setting' Antialiasing mode.
