I only can getted the Quake4 demo, so fist i try with that.

Ok, Quake4 worx, but not with the doom3 edited mesafx. You can runned it becouse the 6.3.0.1 version of MesaFX in the SFFT driver.

I created a preset to it, now everybody can use it with other v5 drivers too, the pset can found in the directory called "Quake4 + Voodoo5 loading FIX".
Simpy copy every file from "ThunderGL + MOD" to q4 dir and then copy the
.\Quake4 + Voodoo5 loading FIX\ThunderGL.ini to the q4's dir.

I tested thundergl 0.13a and the results are the same
I tested also with SFFT alpha43 and i got a BSOD every time i run q4 just before the intro videos
p.s. i'm using q4 1.3 and it don't require dvd to play;)

Geri you are a crazy genius:D
I tested ThunderGL with SFFT alpha43 on Windows XP 64bit edition (no OpenGL support)
Using your experimental opengl -> D3D wrapper i made quake3 arena run on 64 operating system! [8D]

Its not only my wrapper [8D]
ThunderGL connects to WickedGL and transalates functions to glide, evoodoo hooks the glide and transalates the glide calls to direct3d, so the final displayin is happining in d3d =)
ThunderGL is only need to eliminate initialisation bigs, and fix the crashes, manage to start the stuff :D

(If somebody knows some opensource *usable and good* opengl->3dfx and 3dfx->d3d wrapper, link it. With them i can fix more easyly the d3d bugs like from thundergl. I tryed some existing free opengl->d3d wrappers too to use, but with, them the games didint want to start, or no display ,etc.)
