Here is a new beta. It's core is a new experimental build of latest DosBOX, including a 3Dfx wrapper (openglide). It make the use of most 3Dfx enabled DOS (and probably early Win95) game possible (using glshim) and hardware accelerated. The PND use DBGL as a front end. It is very complete, but need Java to run. Go there http://members.quicknet.nl/blankendaalr/dbgl/ for more info, and some ready made freeware/shareware packages.
Be aware the 3Dfx need a custom GLIDE2X.OVL file (that is present in the Z; folder of dosbox), so it's best to just remove any other GLIDE2X.OVL that may be present in the game folder.
About 3Dfx emulation again, the default config is glide activated, with lfb write only and in fullscreen. The fullscreen should be left alone (because LIBGL_FB=1 is used, so it will stay fullscreen anyway), but LFB can be change (to "full" or "none"). Unfortunatly LFB effect are very expensive (and are often used in Racing games).
This version of DosBox is also quite speedy, compared to previous build, making some Dos4GW game playable (or mostly playable). This version support OpenGL scalling (not used by default) but be aware that it seems not compatible with the 3Dfx option.
It seems there is a segfault at the exit of a 3Dfx game, I have not experimented this yet.
*05/12/2015* : Initial beta.
Please report success / faillure.
TombRaider unfinished business, with 3Dfx (playable)
Carmageddon, Screamer Rally, Screamer2 and Redguard, with 3Dfx (too slow to be playable on the Pandora)
Screamer (mostly playable)
Terminal Velocity (playable)
