of course, but this is not "really" useful to post the same question in different sections

grunw,

I removed the topic, since you double-posted

What message, what OS...

well you can use :
SSTV2_BGAMMA : adjust Blue Gamma (0 to 1.95)
SSTV2_GGAMMA : adjust Green Gamma
SSTV2_RGAMMA : adjust Red Gamma

SSTV2_GAMMA : adjust global Gamma

but with a tweaker, things would be probably easier

this site is the reference
http://welcome.to/3dfxBios

with a very good "release notes" for the Voodoo 4 through to Voodoo 5 6000 bios range

i don't know many people who own a V5 6000, this is probably your case...

anyway like this card supports only the Agp 2x 3.3 v, the best and last platform would be a chipset Via KT333 or perhaps some chipsets Sis

One driver would run NWN under Win2K :
SolidState Voodoo5 1.00.03Win2k (1.5M) by Nightstormer
http://nightstormer.tripod.com/voodoo_shack.html
you can't see opening credits or movies but they would work perfectly in the game.

what 3D demos ?
what drivers are you using ?

Indeed Kazza owns a spy soft (Cydoor) and only the lite version is without spyware
Anyway by principle, any downloaded files should be scanned with the latest antiVirus software before use

try (again) that :
- don't remove the first install
- try again a new install and choose "Repair" in the 3Dfx tools setup program

perhaps a reboot will be always necessary

All newer 3dfx Win9x Drivers "third party" and the last 3dfx Win9x reference drivers allow Geometry Assist for Voodoo 3, 4 and 5...

This is a DX7 Emulation performed by the Driver (not by the hardware...), this option emulates the T&L in the driver (with SSE or 3DNow) but only under Win9x or Me and DirX7

Under DirX8, i don't use this option which may not work and sometimes or often can produce bugs

And i'm not sure (because i don't use Win2k or XP) but perhaps the only Drivers that do not have this option functional/implemented are the Win2k/WinXP drivers...i'm not sure that this emulation can work with these OS

Indeed, like DirX9 is backwards compatible, probably no problem with DirX
A game will run on an driver with an old core but probably some features will be missing or there may be visual glitches in the game
But the problem might be with games which depend from a new DirX feature...

Remember the problem that we know with the T&L, if 3DAnalyzer didn't exist in order to emulate this function...

The final problem is very simple : we need new drivers with a better support for DirX8/9 without forgotting OpenGL...

Indeed under XP, you have "MS drivers" but the support of the V5 is not terrible
if you want a best support specially with the Glide, you need third party driver like the last Amigamerlin V2.5SE WinXP/Win2K (full package)

and you can also install Stand-Alone Driver Core Components (Glide3x V2610, Glide2x V2604 by Koolsmosky or GlideXP V1015 by Colourless) awaiting a new Glide

oh well, i don't know Freelancer because i didn't try the demo...
my idea for the moment : can you enable V-Sync in the 3dfx tools in order to prevent that flickering ?

you have my answer in the other section
