Hi guys,

if you are looking for help about MesaFX installation I ask reading these small but useful user guides:

- MesaFX with 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3/Voodoo4/Voodoo5 cards (https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/bestsettings/mesafx)

- MesaFX with 3dfx Voodoo2/Voodoo2 SLI cards (https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/bestsettings/mesafx_v2)

Good luck

;)

HI!

That's all fine and dandy but what does one do with those environment variables. Do they go in the registry? an ini file or what? Help me understand.

Thanks ~Hearse

Heheheh! They are environment variables. This means they have to be set either in AUTOEXEC.BAT or in a console window, like this:
   set THISISANENVVAR=thisisitsvalue
Or, create a .BAT file that sets them the way you want and then launches the game.

Remember only _SOME_ of them are scanned in registry (follow the notes)!

I know it's cumbersome. I was to create a Mesa Control Panel, but haven't got the time to finish it. Worst case, I'm thinking to fallback to a simple .INI file.

OTOH, I know someone who rewrote the 3dfxish Control Panel, maybe I'll incorporate all those vars into his work, I dunno.

Ok!

Next question. I'm using APK3dfx Tuning Engine and it has a voodoo2 ini file editor. They don't go there. Right? So do they go in the registry under environment? I'm not sure how to make a autoexec.bat file as well.

I love tinkering with the V2's but much is beyond me . Anyway thanks in advance~

Only those that affect Glide can go there. Glide does parse that file.

QuoteSo do they go in the registry under environment?
Only some of them. :D

To use mesafx for example in quake 3 must we select voodoo driver or default opengl?
