Thanks for the NEW drivers. I hope that you won't forget Voodoo Banshee users. Nevertheless I will appreciate updated Glide/OpenGL files :)

I want to than everyone for working on the Voodoo drivers.
I know of Colourless and Koolsmoky who have been working on Glide forever but I didn't know of the others like Daniel Borca, Sandro and Overmind. I would like to thank you too.

As you can see from my sig, I no longer have a Voodoo card in my main system but I do have a PIII 933 that my Voodoo5 5500 is in. I'm waiting for NEW drivers for that system. I waited for a very long time at 3Dhq without a complaint and now I'm waiting here too. I think I will really see the drivers from this team.

Again, than you very much for all your hard work.
Tony

Hey Guys, i think you have bin working on an illusion

the driver is simply disaster.

Voodoolizer is 10 times better than this

@ Hellsender

- Do you want some war or flames ?
so you need to read the Rules of this Forum

- If you have problems with the Driver, explain

All criticism must be constructive...

Guys you don't know of what you are talking about. [}:)].
NO ONE FORCE YOU TO USE THEM !!!
LoL@disaster. Why you haven't writed what is the problem. May be you don't know how settings the tools. Go ahead and read Best setting before posting "some kind of news" . [}:)]

To ALL PS. DON'T PLAY WITH SLI BAND HEIGHT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IS AND HOW MUST BE USED/SET !!. Please take note that it is used only in 16 Bit Color.

Maybe I'll release a new inf with this settings removed because if you aren't an expert this settings must create some problem.


When you can, please use 32 BIT color rendering.

Bye

I have tried AmigerLin 3.0 for W2K/XP, and it has not fixed my problems with hardware acceleration being disabled in DirectDraw and no Direct3D adapter being available. This is on W2K with service pack 4  DirexctX 8.1 with SDK installed, using a SuperMicro PIIIDME Board with 2 * 533 Mhz pentium III's, with 1 gig SDRAM, and AGP Voodoo 5500. The Card IRQ is being shared, by the motherboard with the Network card. Any thoughts anyone.

I've sold my voodoo 3 quite a while ago, but just a question. What's the voodoo3 support under XP like? How did the 3dhq drivers go with them? And has anyone tried 3da with a Voodoo3?

Title: AMIGAMERLIN 3.0 - READY !!
Post by: qrazi on 09 September 2003, 00:37:41
are there any procedures for installing the 3.0 drivers? i have currently the 3dhq beta 10s installed, can i just uninstall them? or do i need a clean windows install? using win2k...

QuoteAnd has anyone tried 3da with a Voodoo3?
Yes...you think that some people are using 3D-Analyze with Voodoo2 ;)
Quoteare there any procedures for installing the 3.0 drivers? i have currently the 3dhq beta 10s installed, can i just uninstall them? or do i need a clean windows install? using win2k...
Of course a clean Win install is better but you can also unistall current driver only and then begin AM setup.

Take a look NOW at the best settings !! .. are with explaination pics.
DO NOT PLAY WITH SLI BANS HEIGHT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS SETTINGS DO !!

About the games that you have mentioned :
In italian board Enjoy have writed: Tomb Raider 3 Work ! is the same game ? - Can you give me a link of the demo if this exist?
Vietcon from what I remember have problem so far and For fifa 2001 I don't know !.

Exist a set of driver that run all this games WITHOUT ANY KIND OF PROBLEM ?

What is your O.S. ? and what are the DirectX version installed? Do you have installed the driver correctly? ... Have you run the DirectX Diag?

Tomb Raider the angel of darkness, is not running in voodoolizer 1.05 but i have a clear image, only the problem is that the system is running in slow motion. vietcon and all other games are running properly.
i have directx 9.0b on windows xp pro sp1, i notice also that my cpu usage is directly going to 100%.
I set my configuration according to the new settings but without any improvment.

Amiga, he's talking about Tomb Raider 6. The first dx9 game out there. Hellsender, I wouldn't imgaine that the game would run too fast on a Voodoo 5. Hell, it doesn't run too good on my Radeon.

Many thanks to the developers for a great, stable set of XP drivers.  The banding problems I had with UT2003 are gone, as are the crash on exit problems I had with Quake 3 Arena.  I just installed the drivers with the recommended settings and am having ZERO problems.  :)

since the amigamerlin team uses some former 3dhq people as well, any word on aqous' new opengl ICD? was it a hoax? was it experimental (i.e. not even in alpha state)...
