I've tried everything to get my Voodoo 2 SLI configuration to work in Windows XP. But with no luck.
System:
Asus M2A-VM
Ati x1250 IGP
Athlon X2 4400+
2 GB DDR2
120 GB IDE harddisk
Windows XP 32-bit
2 x Voodoo 2 12 MBI SLI (with original SLI cable)
The PC uses a Ati x 1250 onboard graphic card as primary display adapter. One Voodoo 2 is connected to this primary ada[ter and the monitor is connected to the first Voodoo 2 card. Second Voodoo 2 card is connected via orginal SLI cable.
Used the following drivers to test the SLI connection:
FastVoodoo 3.5
FastVoodoo 4.0
Koolsmoky Voodoo drivers
- Star Wars POD Racer: When I go to the display setup when the game is started I only can select primary display adapter which I can select over 1280 x 1024. Conclusion game is not running with Voodoo 2 SLI!!
- Turok 2: Same as above
- Re-volt: Same as above
- Blood 2: Same as above
1) Why is it not possible to select the Voodoo card? Is this because Windows XP is used?
- Need for Speed 2 SE: Game started but a black screen appears. Copied the glide2x.dll from the FastVoodoo 3.5 (read this on the forum) but not starting. Created a batch file with the set mismatched voodoo line in it and the game runs. Stange thing is that I also have the string in the registry but this not working somehow.
- King's Quest 8 Mask of Eternity: When I run the game with the default Koolsmoky glide2x.dll the screen goes black. When I disconnect the VGA cable from the Voodoo 2 and put in in the Ati x1250 onboard card I see the windows desktop.
Created a batch file with mismatched voodoo line and the game is starting. However I am not able to select 3dfx from the graphics menu only Direct3D. So the game is running via the Ati card.
Copied the the glide2x.dll from FastVoodoo 3.5.When I put FastVoodoo 3.5 dll in the windows directory the game is running.
However I can not go above 800 x 600 in this game so I don't know if the Voodoo 2 SLI is running or it is just a single Voodoo 2 card.
Unreal Tournament: I can select the 3dfx glide option in the preferences and run the game in 1024 x 768.
2) It seems that the Voodoo 2 card is only running with some games. Strange thing is that Unreal Tournament seems to work with glide and SLI.
Do I miss something here? How did you guys set this up?
