RocketDriver Install Readme - 12.28.01 =============================== RocketDriver for Windows XP Test Version 1 by Media Research Association =============================== ------------------------------- About ------------------------------- The MRA RocketDriver is a new driver set for Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 cards that works in Windows XP(hopefully). MRA's goal for this driver is to have full OpenGL support using 3dfx's own OpenGL ICD files, have full Glide support, and full Direct3D support. When the next version of this driver is released to the public it will have a special installation program that will allow the user to select what driver files he or she wants, for example, which OpenGL ICD to use. NOTE: MRA will NOT be adding new features to the INF file, or including 3dfx Tools with this driver set. ------------------------------- Notes ------------------------------- There are no splashscreen files in this driver set, and the glide splashscreen option has been disabled in the INF file. If you'd like your splashscreen back please download the "Splashscreen re-enabler" INF from MRA's website and the appropriate splashscreen DLL files, and reinstall the driver set. I recommend using V.Control and not 3dfx Tools to tweak settings because of all the problems people have had with 3dfx Tools under XP. But if 3dfx Tools works for you, use it! ------------------------------- GlideXP Notes ------------------------------- This driver use a file(glide3x.dll) from the GlideXP project. GlideXP is covered by the 3dfx Glide Source GPL. I have included a copy of the 3dfx Glide Source GPL with this set in COPYING.txt. You can download the source code for GlideXP from http://www.users.on.net/triforce/glidexp/ ------------------------------- Files ------------------------------- The MRA RocketDriver is made of files from many different sources.
