ok,I know that wickedgl doesnt work,but mesafx,thats news[].it just gives some dumb message about updating your drivers.ICD505 works,but looks terrible..seems like v2+ xp is a greater pain than I thought.

..gives me this message:

is this a known fact or am I doing something wrong..?
(athlonxp 3000,voodoo2SLI,winxp,fastvoodoo2 xp 4.0ge)

..needed desperately.anyone?(see here)

..almost everything works perfectly (xp and 98se),except one thing: under win98se,after exiting a glide2x based application,the desktop is corrupted (missing the text in the scroll down menus etc.) and I must reboot to fix this.no such probs under xp..
any workaround for this?

get it here (works for voodoo3 as well)
the patching process will take approximately 20 minutes,just be patient.
this patch was created by Doom

..celeron 333 CPU,win98se, MesaFX 6.2.0.1[8D]

..seems like the only version that works for me without problems is EVO 0.9 (great one,really[8D]).EVO 1.00.00 installs fine,d3d works good (just like with EVO 0.9),but opengl performance seems to be down (mouse is slow in the main menu in RTC Wolfenstein),and when I run an opengl/glide based game in resolution lower than 1024*768,a weird glitch appears,it looks like small horizontal waves are moving down the screen..screenshot looks ok.really weird.

it looks loke this (this is very simplified of courese):

and EVO 1.00.09?I cant even install it,the launcher drops me to desktop after extracting the files.I have loaded the driver by running driversetup.exe,and d3d works,but opengl and glide games are terribly corrupted..am I doing something wrong..?

never say never;)

runs with no ingame errors (menus are corrupted) and quite fast on my athlon 1400 machine..but only in window (managed to run it in fullscreen,but only once[xx(]).too bad the game crashes when you use the focus ability..

thought the voodoo2 is useless today?think again!all you need is a nice new athlon xp 2500 CPU,and you are ready to roll[8D]

the test machine:athlon xp 2500,geforcefx5700 64MB+A-trend voodoo2 12MB,256MB DDR RAM,winxp.
all games run with mesafx6.1.0.9 (do I even need to mention mesafx is the best thing ever?)

would it be possible to have SW rescaling under D3D for the voodoo3?perhaps code it directly to some D3D core or maybe add this feature to 3danalyze?
some games that need SW rescaling use the D3D api and are unable to run under opengl (so I cant use mesafx and SW rescaling)..

..on my voodoo5?I have been using hypersnap for a while,but some games crash when I try to make a screenshot.any similar program I should try?

homeworld2,using mesafx6.1.0.9rc3 with voodoo5 5500agp under win98se;),the game looks really nice,see for yourself[8D]

Hitman2 Silent Assassin demo,Opengl,MesaFX 6.1.0.4[8D],voodoo3 3500tv
Hitman2 is now fully playable on a voodoo3:D!
I have tested the game with 3dfx opengl ICD,wickedgl and mesafx;),and as you can see,mesafx simply rules[8D].(note:image quality is low because all pictures are compressed,the real game looks better.)

3dfx opengl ICD,all 512*512 textures are white,and the game is quite slow[}:)]:

wickedgl is faster than 3dfx ICD,parts of the screen are messed up and there is no support for large textures,but notice the quality of the floor texture;):
