If the administrators here would like and it doesn't violate any policies I can e-mail them to this site so others can use them too. So at this early stage of testing Swiftshader 2.1 has proven more reliable. UPDATE: When trying the WME Demo- the one with the woman in the red dress and the flashing red 'WME' sign- it works fine with Swiftshader but the ScummVM application crashes when trying it with 3-D Analyze. I do not have any other game ScummVM recognizes. This worries me.īoth ways of getting ScummVM working here have been tested with 'Inherit the Earth' and 'The Legend of Kyrandia,' as well as with 'Foxtail.' Except for what's mentioned above they work the same. The script error message that appears when trying to play 'Foxtail' does not appear in either case, by the way: with Swiftshader you get a black screen and the cursor is an hourglass with 3-D Analyze ScummVM simply shuts down- briefly an error line about SDL appears in the command window. This is really just so anyone here having trouble getting ScummVM to run now has two options that can be tried. There does seem to be somewhat smoother and faster movement than with Swiftshader, although not really significant. You can click 'Save batch file!' at the bottom to save a batch file in the same folder as the ScummVM.exe file this saves the settings and you can just click it to fire up 3-D Analyze with the settings intact and ScummVM already selected and running! Now just click 'Run' and ScummVM will hopefully work. It is not difficult to find this application online, luckily, here is what you do:ġ) You fire up 3-D Analyze, use 'Select' to find the ScummVM.exe file, then choose that file. Its main advantage over Swiftshader is that it moves faster, when you have a choice between the two. The second way of getting ScummVM working on your computer if it keeps crashing just after being activated is with an application called '3-D Analyze (v2.36b).' Note that earlier versions, like the commonly-found v2.34, should work too.ģ-D Analyze is an application meant to 'fool' games into thinking a computer can do something it normally can't, although it does also add certain abilities. I do not remember where I downloaded them from, but they haven't ever caused me any trouble and have gotten games like 'Deepica,' 'The Golden Path of Plumeboom,' 'Plumeboom the First Chapter,' 'Inherit the Earth(?!),' 'Elementals the Magic Key,' 'Ancient Wonderland,' and 'Mythic Pearls' running too. Swiftshader 3.0 may work too (it does not have a d3d8.dll file), but it requires SSE2 to work- so older computers, like those with Intel Pentium 3, cannot use it. You simply copy them into the same folder as the ScummVM EXE file, you do not replace anything in the Operating System.

It consists of three files: d3d8.dll, d3d9.dll, and SwiftShader.ini files. If anyone has installed the ScummVM application successfully but when trying to actually run it it just crashes- maybe without even an error message- what may help is what worked on my old 2001 Sony XP laptop: Swiftshader, in my case Swiftshader 2.1. There are two parts to this: Swiftshader and 3-D Analyze. I’d like to thank all LLVM developers for providing this incredibly versatile compiler infrastructure, and I hope I’ll be able to contribute some more myself in the near future.Guess this is my contribution, even if it isn't much.maybe this post belongs here? So finally you know what my secret vector intensive project was. These settings include some LLVM optimization passes that can be selected or reordered! While running a Direct3D 9 application with SwiftShader in windowed mode, you can interactively change its settings by opening in your browser. If you decide to try out the demo, make sure to check out the SwiftConfig functionality. On top of LLVM we’re using another abstraction layer, called Reactor, which defines a powerful high-level language. LLVM’s optimization passes have been indispensable to achieve exceptional Shader Model 3.0 performance.

You may be pleased to know that the generated code performs the same or faster than hand-tuned dynamically generated assembly code. However, the Direct3D 9 demo available from the TransGaming website fully relies on LLVM for dynamic code generation. That version doesn’t use LLVM though it uses the much smaller and faster SwiftAsm back-end. It has recently been licensed by Adobe for the Flash Molehill 3D API ( ).

SwiftShader is a high-performance 3D software rendering toolkit ( ).

I thought some of you might be interested to know that TransGaming SwiftShader now features a back-end based on LLVM.
