If memory serves me correctly (I may be wrong), I thoughtNot quite, we replaced the Voodoo3 with a ATI Radeon 7000 which has gone well except the PcSetup extentions conflict with ATI's. I haven't found a way around this problem and I haven't tried earlier versions of PcSetup. The ati card works well for everything else so the dos card and Voodoo3 will go into something else.
that if you had a 3D accelerated video card that the Voodoo
1/2 card would not work.
Update:
When the Vodoo3 was installed the dos card used it for its output. I figured the same would work with the ATI.
Once stupid changed the cables around to run from the onboard output we now have PCSetup working again. :)
On another note, I found a few handy-dandy program over the last few days.
#1 - dgVoodoo: that translates 3Dfx's Glide called to
DirectX. It works rather well, but takes a little tweaking
for it to work correctly. Allows you to play DOS and
Windows games that used only Glide 3D acceleration with
more recent cards. Also emulates parts of a Voodoo 1/2
card.
Nice one, I think I have a copy of Red Baron 3D around somewhere.
#2 - VDMsound: Allows the sound from DOS games to be heard
from a DOS window under Win2K and XP.
Linked through the Dosbox page. ;)
I came across this site http://www.deathmask.net/buildxp/ which led me to dosbox and VDMsound there may be something useful there. Duke Nukem 3d works fine under XP with a hi-res patch, the link I have for the patch is dead.#3 - Tomb Raider 1 Advanced Installer - allows Tomb Raider 1 (DOS program) to be installed and 3D acceleration enabled using dgVoodoo under Windows 2000/XP.
Between these three programs, I was playing TR1 on my Semperon 2200 machine with an ATI Radeon 9200SE for the last few days and finally finished it. Woohoo!
I'm now working on playing Tomb Raider 2 and a game from
Psygnosis called Shipwreckers. Shipwreckers was one of
those Glide-only games, but it works great with gdVoodoo.
It played under VPC on the 9600 and the Voodoo 2 card, but
was quite slow.
I have a pci version of the Radeon 9200SE, almost tried to flash it to Mac.
Sorry but I've had no luck finding the drivers I mentioned earlier, currently rebuilding my bookmarks - I forgot they where kept on the swap partition with the cache's. Opps, I remembered after the format. :(
Cheers
