Off Topic / Bringing back falconfly.
02 July 2017, 16:40:08
Ok as many of you may know falconfly.de shut down and I gotten permission to rehost  the archive and forums. So long as I don't host any and all personal info regarding the admin or user accounts on the forum.  
I have a complete copy of the archive and a HTML copy of the forums.

In your opinion would you like to see the falconfly forum brought back? We'd all have to make new user accounts, but the old posts would stay. I'd say just host the back up. But if WE the 3dfx community want it back I can host a falconfly forum.
I already have plans to host a copy of the archive and add to it. As we all know it was somewhat out of date.

But I'm holding off on doing anything with the forums until I get word from the 3dfx community.

General Discussions / Dual Piii, a work in progress
14 February 2017, 18:52:08
I'm putting together a dual 1.4ghz sk370 setup and no dollar will be spared! It must be perfect!!!

This is a work in progress. I will update this thread when I get more parts! I have not chosen all the parts I'll be useing so no system specs yet.

Day 1 Test fit motherboard, nic cd drives and vga.

What I learned: I need a longer audio cable for the cd drive.
I will need a single slot cooler or single slot video card if I want to have a voodoo2 sli setup with a nic and scsi card. I'll probably ditch the nic or go single slot in the vga.

What I'm waiting on:
Hdds, CPUs, scsi card, ram, heatsinks, caps for mobo and dust filters.

ETA on next parts delivery.
Unknown

Plans!
The motherboard will be recapped. The caps on it are mostly ok. Some I don't trust, for about 15-20$ I might as well recap it.
I will use a scis raid setup in the system.
I will need to track down some high end video cards to test in the system.

Day 2 plans!

Fit 92mm cooling fan in hdd bay. [installed]
Install 5 hdds. (36gb quantum atlas) [4 of 5 installed]
Install ram into mobo. (2gb sdr cl2 pc133) [installed]
Plan wireing layout. [done]

What I done so far.
Test fitted mobo, vga and sound card.
Put new TIM on the x850xt cleaned it and checked its fan.

What I learned on day 2
I need more molex cables.
The scsi drives are loud, on drive was bad and missing caps.

Day 3 plans!
Install scsi card, cpu's and heatsink.

Day 4 plans!
Wire the computer.
Configure raid.
Install voodoo2s

Day 5 plans!
Install Windows and apps.

Day 6 plans!
Bench and have fun

Parts I know I'll be using.  
5 quantum atlas scis hdd.
AWE64 gold.
2gb ram.
6VXDC7 motherboard.
2 1.4ghz Piii-s CPUs.
550w seasonic psu.
Ata ls-120 drive.
Sata dvd drive via sata to ide thingy.
PD-rom drive.
ADAPTEC 2100 Raid card.


Parts I'll need to buy
2 12mb Voodoo'2
Longer CD audio cable [bought]
Zip ties and anchors.
Heat Shrink.
Stick on heatsink for mosfets and vga ram.
2 80mm fans

Parts I'm waiting on.

General Discussions / 3dfx benchmark challenge.
09 October 2014, 00:40:54
The 3dfx community has been pretty quiet for to long.
So I propose a benchmark challenge. Lets have some fun, shall we?
It's  simple anyone with a 3dfx PC can join.
The scores will be ranked, listed and categorized by the cards chipset (voodoo 1/2/3 and so on) in the OP
The benchmark used will be 3dmark2000.
And best of all the person with the highest score will get what? bragging rights for having the fasted 3dfx system. [8D]

Rules
3dmark2000 must be run with a screen resolution of 640x480.
Over clocking is allowed.
No volt modding your 3dfx card.
After market heat sinks are allowed.
No agp/pci to pci-e adapters.
You must post you results in a screen shot. (see second post for a example.)

Q&A
Q:Why the 640x480 resolution?[/color]
A:To allow voodoo 1 owners to join in.[/color]Q:Why no volt modding?
A:Not everyone has the ability to volt mod a voodoo card witch would make a uneven playing field.
Q:Why no agp/pci to pci-e adapters?
A: Much like overvolting it makes for a uneven playing field.

I'm thinking of volt modding my voodoo 3 3000 agp card. And before I go buying new a heat sink and ram sinks for the card I was wondering if anyone has any benchmarks of volt modded voodoo 3000's?

Ever want to run a newer game or program on a windows 98 system.

well you can, I found the program called kernelex
http://kernelex.sourceforge.net/

Almost every app I tried works with it and a good bit of games do too!
Its kind of like windows capability mode but in reverse.
It works even better with all the windows 98 updates and the unofficial windows 98 SP3
If you ever get a missing file or .dll file error just installed the system file.

I have only found a few apps and games that do not work with it .
I hope this might help a person or two.

once I get my 3dfx system backup and going I'll post some screens of it in action.


edit:
You can find updates for win98 here.
http://www.mdgx.com/upd98me.php
Be certain to do a backup be for installing any updates.

is the display port on the voodoo 3500 tv dvi ?
it looks like it, but I don't have one so I would not know
#11
We all know about the agp v1 v2 compatibility problems. weather it be the 3.3v or just not fitting
I was wondering since some have cut a notch out of the voodoo5500 before
why not use something like this
http://img.tomshardware.com/us/2006/02/24/diy_home_theater_pc_part_2_the_quiet_and_powerful_equation/gehaeuse-cool2-riser2.jpg


has anyone every tried that, maybe you could solder a 3.3v line to the card as well
#12
I'm building a small more mobile 3dfx system.
and if I can get my voodoo5500 to fit in the case I'm going to use it.

I'd like to get better heat sinks on the card.
noting to costly or big, but better then the stock cooling.
any ideas?


edit
the heat sinks need to be small so I can put a card in the next slot
#13
