Hi, do any of you know how to get rid of the wicked 3d demo message when entering a game? It gets annoying pressing c all the time (especially when I am using HLSW). The message says to register at wicked3d.com but that site does not exist any more. I tried to delete the message in the dll file itself but that makes the file corrupt. Is there any way to register or is there a trick to avoid the message?
The shareware version will always show that message. Unfortulatly, WickedGL no longer allows you to register the product so unless you can find someone with a valid number, you are stuck with the message.

Nevermind I got the full version with a key.

Courtesy of NuAngel of course...
Lecram did you get the wicked 3d to work for you? ive been having trouble with the same version you have,well if you did can you tell me what you did to make it work for you?
i have an old voodoo 5 5500 which i got working with new drivers and play games with it but some games wont work too well can you help? thanks man
I don't have it, lol...I retired my Voodoo 5 5500 AGP in her box long before NuAngel released it...
well, you arent supposed to use wickedgl with all gamez. i know that IL-2 sturmovik runs best in wickedgl, and there are other examples (i believe counterstrike runs fastest when using wickedgl...)
am i just beating a dead hourse here? with the voodoo5 5500 card i read alot of people
are still using it with great sucsess, am i wrong in thinking that it will work good enough to play the newer games? one guy says he's playing star wars jedi night academy
using wicked gl and a voodoo5 5500 and he says it works and i quot "slicker than snot"
easy:
just copy the opengl32.dll from the folder you installed wickedgl to the game folder where the *.exe is.
this way you can try every ogl game with wickedgl.
but grazi is right, not every game profits from it...
I will try it again raffa i tried it before maybe i did something wrong, is that all i do? is there more to this? i couldnt open the game when i did that, it just flashed for a second then went black.
but thank you for your sugestion....
What's your game ?

Don't use wicked3d for Jedi Academy, it's way too old... Use MesaFX instead, and place the opengl32.dll into the gamedata dir.....
That works "slicker than snot" ;)
Nightbird its jedi night, jedi academy....where do i get MesaFX ?
my computer is a p2 400 with 384 sdram 50 gigs voodoo5 5500 agp card with amig.3.01
drivers
A p2 400mhz??? Good luck getting decent framerates on that....[:I]
Anyway download from here:
http://www.3dfxzone.it/news/
Well im up grading to a p4 3.2 gig with 800 mh front side bus and hyper threading and 1 gig of ram to start out with, then i'll get a new G force 256 ddr ram game card.
that will fix it! lol anyway guys thanks for your help in this matter...;)
Now why would you ruin that beautiful system with a Geforce?
:) get a geforce fx XT, if you want the best bang for your buck

err, the GF XT series are sh!t, they're like the MXs, except they've stolen the letters to insult ATI's amazing XT series. Don't get an nvidia XT, ATI rulez :D
best bang for the buck, solid performance but not too expensive, the Radeon 9600. Not the Radeon 9600 SE or Lite, as they suck, but the Radeon 9600 is gold in my book. And if you're flush with cash, Radeon 9800 XT or Pro. But then I like ATI.
How about a FX 5200 256DDR with 400Mhz tv out dvi? :D
well, whats your budget?
btw: a geforce fx 5900 XT sells for 180 euro here, thats cheaper then most 9600 XT cards, while it will outperform a 9600xt, and clock a lot higher. dont tell me a 9600 pro is the best bang for the buck... only when making heavy use of FSAA and AF, the 9600xt is the better option.
the card im getting is a FX 5200 with 256DDR and 400mhz tv out and dvi, it's above the G force.
w00t! congratulations, you've just turned into an nVidiot! Why get a 5200? Cause it has 256mb of ram on it? Lemme tell you a little kept secret, THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 128MB AND 256MB RAM (performance-wise)...if you're gonna be cheap, be cheap, but don't expect any performance out of that 5200...

p.s.: don't say we didn't try to help you...
what would u recomend for about $300 dallars?
the ramdac is 400mhz the difference in price wasent that much from the 128 to the 256....and im getting it from a freind who gets computer stuff at cost so it's really costing me about $100 it would be about 250 to 300 retail..i wish VooDoo was still in busness..[V]
Get a 9700pro, they're only $198 atm, which is dirt cheap, considering they retailed for $399 ~1 yr ago...

GeForce FX my monitor is a 19''
5700 Ultra:
Graphics Core 256-bit
Memory Interface 256-bit
Memory Bandwidth 14.4GB/sec.
Fill Rate 1.9 billion texels/sec.
Vertices per Second 356 million
Memory Data Rate 900 MHz
Pixels per Clock (peak) 4
Textures per Pixel* 16
Dual RAMDACs 400 MHz
And if you fork out $50 more, you can get a card that actually runs dx9 intensive apps...might I also mention you'll be able to play games with AA and AF enabled with little to no performance hit...
From this page on (look at all the benchmarks), you make your decision:

Haven't read the entire thing, but from what I see, only overclocked does the 5700U manage to outperform a 9700Pro at stock speed.
GeForce FX 5700U Core:475 Memory:900 128-bit 4x1
Radeon 9700 Pro Core:325 Memory:620 256-bit 8x1
Let's get real here...the 5700U dies in shader performance...it has a 128-bit memory bus, and 4 pipes and 1 tmu per pipe, i.e. CASTRATED...for $50 more, come on...not to mention a 9700pro is a high end card compared to the 5700u which is mainstream; THEY DON'T COMPARE
OK OK I'll Buy The Radeon 9700 Pro:D
You won't be dissapointed at all, even the doom 3 alpha runs good. ;)
whats the power cooler 9700pro? is that replica of the real thing? i need part #s for the radeon9700pro
I'm sorry, you mean what does the vpu cooler look like? Sorry, but it normally isn't much of one, you'd be best off to replace it.
why did they discontinue the 9700pro? if it's so great of a card?[?]
I don't think they discontinued it, they just moved advertising to the 9800 and 9600. 9700 is almost as good as a 9800, 9700 pro vs. 9800 np would probably put the pro ahead. But if you don't believe that it's a good card, just look at the benchmarks!
They discontinued it because it got old...it came out to compete with the Geforce 4 Ti 4600...and tehn when the nv30, aka Geforce FX 5800 Ultra came out, it killed that too...they discontinued it once they refreshed the R300 core and brouht out the R350...it's still a very good card...
well i orderd it! the ATI Radeon 9700Pro i hope it was a good choice over the G force 4 5700 ultra, i heard great reviews about it saying i wounldnt be disapointed. they say the frame rates were better too and i'll be able to run the highest resolutions compared to the Gforce4 5700 ultra.
what do u think?:D
I think that today I loaded up a bunch of my games playing my brother over the LAN, I run most games at 1280x960 with everything maxed, and I played for about an hour and then I thought to myself, damn, this game looks really good today. Just that, not that it was running worse, not anything else but the fact that it looked great. Then I realized that I still had 6x AA and 16X AF on from when I was showing my brother some tech demos. Now we weren't playing anything brand new because his computer has my old Kyro II in it, just like Warcraft III, some Halo demo, and a little of the Chaser Demo, but I didn't notice any slow down. That impressed me and I've had the card for a while now.
Well guys it's been awhile since i last wrote about a graphics card and when last you heard id bought a raieon 9700pro and well it was cool in all but it just wont run the mother boards were were trying so far like the first board was a asus 3.0gig p4 865 chipset 800mhz with hyper threading with 1 gig of ddr ram and well like i said it wont run! then we tryied a msi board with the same rusults!!!!!!!! talk about frustration. what mother boards are the ones to run with the 9700pro radeon?
and the power supply is a 450 watt, ok guys HELP!!!!!!!
