Project64-video is a fork of glide64. No idea about the 3dfx option personally though. Definitely won't "fix all games with project 64" though.

Project64 doesn't support operating systems or graphics cards that support Glide/3DFX, nor do any modern plugins. If you are using Project64-video and/or Glide64 or any fork, derivative, or plugin that supports Glide or 3DFX, you should probably switch to another plugin.

Having said that, Project64-video/Glide64 still would have bugs with many games, so adding an option like this would definitely not "fix all games". Actually this would break more games, since it requires dgVoodoo and/or nGlide to be accurate to the API as well as the plugin using the API in an accurate way as well, and as we've seen in the past neither is necessarily true.

So I would switch to another plugin, if I were you.

i have not seen someone ask for glide in a very long time and clearly you do not understand what an "api" is or how computers work (among other things). but I am not going to just going to write it off without a proper easy to understand answer. the different apis like glide direct3d vulkan opengl just tell the computer what to do. the result just depend on how many different commands you can use. every modern api can do basically anything glide can do. its a matter of the programmer and not the api. using glide will only make it worse because it only limits. hope that explains things.
