Storing Textures in System memory...?

da_tinman · 2001-02-21T23:33:28

Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to load and store textures into System memory instead of the video card memory? I know that system RAM is much slower than video RAM, but that''s not an issue in this case. I need to demonstrate my program on University computers, and I think that they only have 2MB of video memory!... Thanks for your time, Tin

DirectDraw 5.0 is perfectly good for writing a software renderer. That''s pretty much your only option, on those machines.
