Tested games so far
(24-09-2023) SoftGPU v0.4.2023.19-alpha VMware Workstation Pro 17.0.2 build-21581411 (3D Acceleration enabled unless specified) Windows 98 Special Edition
i9-9900K RTX 2080Ti
Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now (Italian version - SafeDisc 1.00.030) Original/D3D Mode: You must enable "Digital Audio" from Multimedia to be able to listen to the audio tracks Patched 2.0/D3D Mode: Same as above, but you must run it from Carma2_h.exe.
Colin McRae Rally (Italian version) Original/Patched 1.4: Any graphic card you pick during setup doesn't matter since when you run the game (from Game.exe), videos will play and then nothing happens. If you run the game from "Rally.exe", you will encounter various graphical glitches in menus making very hard to navigate them. I managed to get ingame once, but it was mostly trail and error.
FIFA: Road to World Cup 98 (Italian version) Original/Patched 1.40: It will run in software mode by default. You can install nGlide to enable 3dfx graphic, but you must disable 3D Acceleration in VMware settings to avoid graphical glitches.
Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver (Italian version - SafeDisc 1.30.010) Original/Patched 1.2 D3D Mode: You must set your desktop resolution to 640x480 and 65.536 color or else the game will crash with a WINPLAY.DLL error. You are free to set any resolution ingame.
Mobil 1 Rally Championship (aka Rally Championship 2000) (Italian version) Original/Patched (Patch 6 - 04.08.2000): Runs good in single player, unenjoyable performance in split-screen mode. Keep the lowest resolution possible. Mipmapping option doesn't work.
Need for Speed: Porsche 2000 (Italian version - SafeDisc 1.41.000) Original 3.0: When you try to run the game, it says to run the 3D setup first, but the 3D setup won't do anything when opened. Patched 3.5: 3D setup will run, but it won't detect any graphic card, hence you can't start the game.
Rally Challenge (Italian version) Original 1.1: Crashes to desktop after intro screens with the following error: "DirectDraw Error : resize UNDEF. DD ERROR".
Requiem: Avenging Angels (Italian version - SafeDisc 1.11.000) Original 1,2 D3D: With a DirectX above 6.1, the game won't run due to a faulty DirectX check. Original 1,2 D3D with patched DirectX check: You must set your desktop resolution to 640x480 and 65.536 color or else the menu and UI elements will have graphical glitches. You must set "Hardware audio acceleration to "limited" to avoid audio crackling. You must enable "Digital Audio" from Multimedia to be able to listen to the audio tracks.
Shadow Man (Italian version - SecuROM) Original: You must set "Hardware audio acceleration to "limited" to avoid audio crackling. You need to set a high resolution because the internal fps timing is too high and will cause issues when moving or with certain scenery elements.
Z: Steel Soldiers (Italian version - SafeDisc 2.30.031) Original 1.10/Patched 1.40: Runs with acceptable performance by disabling 3D Acceleration in VMware settings. I'm using the following settings (640x480, 32bit video, 16bit textures, reflections, shadows, texture details, particells and v-sync enabled).
