A long while ago, we had a big repository of Glide Wrappers here. Over the course of several moves, it got out of date. Many were destroyed in 3dfx's original legal attack as well, though most of those are now unusable (they were coded in ways that make them completely incompatible with Windows 2000/XP).

There's also a few new names on the scene, to deal with. I've also left off a few wrapper projects that started but never got anywhere significant. Many of those which are not Windows 2000/XP compatible are DirectX-based wrappers; as the DirectX API has evolved through the years, the calls that they used were broken. Links to some former websites are kept for posterity's sake, since a few have gone on/offline several times in the past years. As always, these are usable at your own risk.

In the old days, UltraHLE and Glide-only titles (Tomb Raider, Unreal) were what people were trying to run with these, on Windows 98. Things have changed since then; now the focus is more and more on people using them to get older Glide-only titles to run, sometimes in WinXP and sometimes in environments like Dosbox. They almost uniformly require tweaking to work on a given system and a given game title.

Here's the Glide Wrappers. If you're wondering what makes a wrapper tick, you want this article by our founder.
