Have a read other voodooMAC users experiences here!

Here you'll find my verified working BIOS file! (flash tools included)

As a note: You can boot from the Windows9X CD and work from a floppy if you don't have a fat32 partition handy.

If it doesn't work the first time, don't worry. You can flash it numerous times untill it works.

The ideal setup would be a mobo with an intel BX chipset (eg:ASUS P2B) with an AGP slot, AGP card and nothing in the PCI slots other than the voodooMAC.
(soon to be exorcised)

Try and find a spare hard drive though! Always preferable!;)

Addendum: Forgot to metion in the above post the all important fact that this EF2000.BAT works for the Voodoo2SLI rig under Win9X.

I'm on the case with this one too! Will post any developments with DOS Glide.

I thought I might post my EF2000.BAT file for the benifit of those wanting to run EF2000 Gfx+ for the first time. Also read the readme.txt for all the shortcut properties if you want to launch from the Win9X desktop. Recommended as the 32-bit memory handling is faster, but do all your testing in dos so as not to get scandisk every time you reboot via Ctrl+Alt+Del.  Once DOS is working fine use the Win9X shortcut. Here go's.........

set SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4
set SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1
set SST_VOUT_CLKDEL=0x0
set SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2
set SST_GAMMA=1.70
set SST_GGAMMA=1.50
set SST_RGAMMA=1.50
set SST_BGAMMA=1.50
ef2000.exe

Thanks for that r21vo

Noticed too that alot of bios files have a .ROM file extention, while my biosdump and a few other one's out there are .BIN

renaming between the two formats wouldn't affect things would it? Maybe the Flash utility only likes .ROM files?

Hi there!

I recently purchased two Voodoo5 5500's (PCI for MACINTOSH).

One was already PC flashed with the 1.18 bios enabling DVI! ....see picky



The other one, I had to exorcise myself!

Had trouble flashing the MAC card with the BIOS located @ 3dfxzone.it

Tried another one from http://welcome.to/3dfxBios
1.18 (Digital Output Enabled) under the heading Voodoo5 5500 Pci

It succesfully worked but the video BIOS bootup screen reported it as a Voodoo4 4000 or 4500.
(can't exactly remember which one)

Phreaked out and ended up dumping the working one I had, then flashed that one up! Both work great!
The DVI on both cards are SWEET!:)

Think about it, GLIDE™ on DVI - no loss of picture quality through DAC. I highly recommend them.

P.S. You can grab my verified working BIOS file from here! (flash tools included)

Hey Doom! Nice Screenies!

I'm wanting to get counter-strike happening on my Voodoo2SLI rig, could you give us a run down of how you accomplished this?

Also is that openGL on voodoo2SLI or Glide?

Thanks.
Love the fps!
