No Emulating 3dfx Voodoo hardware and the Glide 2.x API for real DOS and Win9x requires low-level graphics, VxD/driver, and x86 expertise plus careful API compatibility work that vibe coding alone can't deliver.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a DOS/Win9x Glide-compatible shim (a replacement glide2x.dll or similar) that translates Glide calls into a software rasterizer or a host GPU API. It needs deep knowledge of the Voodoo register interface, the Glide API, and the Win9x driver model, as well as careful performance tuning in C or assembly. This is the kind of hard systems and graphics work that needs experienced low-level engineers.
