So Duke plays on VPC3 and DOS? Cool.
As I understand it VPC will make use of a Voodoo2 breaking the 4mb
ceiling for vram which I see as the major drawback of pc emulation.
I'll throw a couple of bucks at it to find out, last local V2 on ebay
went for $15, I was at work and missed it. Worst case, I have another
old video card for yet another old mac or pc.
Oh OK. Well in that case it would be well worth the effort in obtaining
this card. I'll keep my eyes open for one too. I get the feeling old PCI
vid cards for Macs are rare, tho'.
I know Softwindows98 has options for both voodoo1 and 2 cards, I dont see the option with Softwindows95. Voodoo cards can be flashed with little trouble, stick with 3dfx rather than a third party.
I see RealPC also has the Voodoo 1 & 2 support. It would be interesting to hear how much speed up to the emulation it gives.
I installed Duke3D into RealPC and it loads! But is way too slow to even
consider playing [I should try it on a faster mac].
Mike.
Out of curiosity Mike, what are you running RealPC on?
I have a few models I can try it on - I even have a Voodoo 2 somewhere! I also have RealPC 1.1, and VPC 2.x/3.x.
Also, the Voodoo 1 & 2 cards can work in PCs and Macs without modification-only the drivers are needed. I've installed an Orchid Righteous 3D (V1) and a Creative card (V2) and had them work without any problems. Voodoo 3 cards do require flashing to use with Macs, but they work rather well afterwards.
