well,the last glide3x is already tweaked and improved (can be found in full mesafx packages),and there is no real need to improve glide2x,as all glide2x games already run great on all 3dfx cards :D

wich is the latest complete mesafx complete package?is it the one that comes with the fast voodoo 4.6 drivers?

the 420Kb glide3x in the root folder is the latest bugficed release.highly recommended especially when you are using mesafx.

my mistake.for some weird reason,I have thought you have a v3.the glide3x from the mesafx package is for voodoo3/4/5,and you have a voodoo2,that means it wont work.remove the files from mesafx package.the latest voodoo2 glides are the ones included in koolsmokys xp driver.extract both glide2x and glide3x from the driver archive and copy them to your windows/system folder.careful,they are still beta,and you may experience problems (pinky colours/texture flicker in some games)..but the image quality in quake3 is great ;)

skinnie

but in mesafx the glide3x.dll is on a folder called voodoo 2 :S the koolsmokys glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll work for win98se ?:S

the voodoo2 glide3x from mesafx package is just the latest original 3dfx release.and yes,you can use koolsmokys glides under win98..
