SwiftShader Compatible List

[NSCXP2005]

Hello to everybody,

I would it be possible for somebody to create a list of all games
that run with SwiftShader, It would really help all new members to
know what games are possible with this program.

Thank you for your time

All the best

Yes,definitely i will create the game list by the end of this week.At
the meantime,i hope all of us can contribute as much as possible other
than those games mentioned previously.However,i must say that although
most of the games runs with the swiftshader 2.0 but peformance may
vary according to one's computer especially the processor.For
example,NSCXP2005 says that COD 2 rans ok, but as for me. the game is
a slide show even on the lowest settings since my core 2 duo is only @
1.66ghz.Anyway,thanks alot to NSCXP2005 for uploading the swiftshader.

Just to let you know Dante, I have got Bioshock running with the
program.

Finally a way to play the game.

All the best

And how is the performance? any noticeable lag

[NSCXP2005]

yep, can get very jerky, there just be a way to fix it. I also used
the SM2.0 patches that are out from ShaderShock.

Hello guys!

well i dont know if u already know this but there is a way to make
SWshader perform with the multiple procesors feat... i wrote some days
ago my "tutorial" about SWshader, hope u read it, but any way the most
important part of the config is this:

ThreadCount=2
EnableSSW=2
EnableSSE2=2 I put a (2) because it will make it work
with my doble core procesor..if u have a quad just put a (4) instead
a (2)....
EnableSSSE3=2


this is to increase a little the performance of SWshader.

but if u just want to increase ur FPS in a game that already works
without Swsahder u just have to put ONLY 1 of the .dlls in hte game
root
For example in PES 2008, FEAR, FARCRY, SpinterCells, Hitmans, and many
more u just have to put d3d8.dll in the root with the .ini config
Few games like Americas Army dont work with d3d8.dll, instead it works
with d3d9.dll and .ini


how to know wihich is the correct one?
well u just have to try n try every game u have, if it lags go n try
with the other....

i suppouse all of u know Ssahder was created to EMULATE... i mean it
was created to TRY TO DO what the integrated cards physicaly cannot
perform, thats why it lags when both are togheter bcause they r doing
a miracle in ur VGA.

TO NSCXP2005

hey m8 thanx for ur update on Bioshock..but is it really playable..i
mean how much does it lag ??...Swiftshader can run almost any game but
the problem is, the games lag a lot.. i tried both NFS carbon and bf2
and they lag like hell .. no matter how good u config them....so pls
tell me the fps or how well it rans before i buy it ..thanx...

Hmm...i've run almost all the games in my harddrive using SShader from
Biohazar 4 to fifa08...there are only two things common in all these
games. 1st the Inteligent ugly looking S.S logo and 2nd The Lags (talk
about running games 100times faster than direct X). Altough im not a
fan of games that lags like S**t, but i give it a plus point that it
makes next gen games run on your integrated gfx. Wake up people your
9xx series has much potential than S.S. Recently im spending my time
into 3DA, Trying to find connection between the dll files created by
3DA into the game directory and the dll files of SS. lets see where i
may end up...BTW, stubbs the zombie runs with SS you'll get a good
choppy frame rate by modifying the ini file...Tc all.

The problem isn't the running the games, the problem is the lag when
you can run games.. :P there's a reason why some games require a good/
dedicated graphics card, and that's b/c you actually need that
separate processor to take care of the graphics... So if you're using
software to emulate the graphics hardware, it's going to take up a lot
of your processor. So yeah... if you're stuck with GMA and you have
something that isn't a dual, or even quad core, you're kind of stuck
playing some older games, unless you don't mind the lag. And yeah, the
logo sucks :P but that's part of having a demo version.

[Deltalives922]

yeahhh. like swiftshader is *supposed* to bridge the gap between your
software and hardware rendering. cause most of us have crap video
cards that don't even make the minimum system requirements to the
game, it puts all the load and emulation on our mediocre cpu meaning
s***loads of lag (dunno the technical diff between s.s. and 3d analyze
tho and why 3d analyzer works better than s.s. for some games like
dmc3). swiftshader is prob more for ppl w/ high-class gpus and cpus
who want to squeeze more fps and better looking graphics out of games
than us who have intel 9xx series cards trying to play games..... :(((

[Dragonsla]

wait...theres a SS logo? I didnt see one when I put the ini and dll in
fear..... :S
