I'll give that a try when I get home. The main reason I'm trying this with VPC/Dos cards is that even though I have several PCs, the majority of them are too fast for some of the games. TR1 on a Semperon 2200 when it ran OK on a P75? Riiiiight. > >I've been looking through my colleciton of games to try > to finish ones > >that I never completed.

It even plays well when not using the Voodoo 2 card - it just does not look all that great.

I'll have to look through my Mac CDs for some games to try that with. I have some, but precious few use OpenGL. -- Mac-N-DOS is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Mac-N-DOS list info: <http://lowendmac.com/lists/mac-n-dos.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:mac-n-dos@mail.maclaunch.com> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-n-dos%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
