For the last 3 days I have been trying to work with my voodoo2 but with no luck...
I have tried a dozen unofficial drivers and none worked for me...
So finally I decided to make a multiboot system and have win98 just to use my voodoo2...but not even that worked...
After several formats and windows installations, I stil couldnt get the damn thing to work on win98....

I am really disappointed and ready to give up...
Let me tell you what the deal s for me :
I use the PC 90% of the time to play Diablo 2.
So I want to play it in Glide which is far better than D3D...

Thats my sole purpose, having good FPS in Glide in Diablo2 ....nothing else matters, I just want this...

Can you help me achieve it? I would do anything...even buy a new Voodoo card...

I dont get it, even when I installed win98 the official drivers werent working with Diablo2.... (i read somewhere they got a problem with Athlon...). Ok so I try unofficial fixed for athlon....not working either... then I try a bunch of other drivers....same ****...

In WinXP no more luck of course...

GRRRRR I WANNA PLAY D2 IN GLIDE!!! how was I able to play it 3 years ago in a P2 333MHz system and I cant play it now FFS???
What more should i do?

Will buying a Voodoo 5 5500 be a solution? does it have XP drivers or anything to help more than voodoo2?

Lastly let me tell you my system configuration and ask a couple of questions :
Abit NF7-S
Athlon XP2500+ @ 2200MHz
1Gb PC3200 RAM 2-2-2-5
Radeon 9700 pro
...

Ok, now a few questions :
Is there some online shop that stil sells Voodoo cards?
If I get a Voodoo5 5500 PCI can I use it in conjunction with the radeon and when I play Glide games, have it used?
What's the deal with Voodoo 5 6000? Can you get 1? does it work?


Please help me, I desperately need to get out of this D3D **** with Diablo 2...

Hi, I am a happy owner of a Creative Labs 3D blaster Voodoo 2 12Mb.
I own it for about 5 years...
I am really dissapointed that 3Dfx closed ( but anyway, thats not the point of my first thread here...

Well, back then I had a Pentium 233 MMX....
Now I own the following system :
Abit NF7-S
AthlonXP 2500+  overclocked to 2200MHz (11x200)
1Gb Kingston HyperX 2-2-2-5 400MHz
Sapphire Radeon 9700 pro

Well, the 9700 pro is obviously far better than the Voodoo2 ....do you might be wondering why I am taking the time to deal with a 5 year old card...
The answer is simple.... I am a big Diablo2 fan, I 've been playing it for 3 years+ now... and I just thought I could take advantage of its glide version to have better results...both in quality and in speed...
I know its unbelievable, but this game drops to low FPS at crowded moments even on my Radeon 9700pro....and I think thats because its not optimised at all for it...

If I can use my Voodoo2 card I will both get the superior glide quality and possibly a same/better FPS behaviour...plus I will be using my favourite piece of hardware I ever bought....the Voodoo2...

So today I searched the net for some WinXP drivers... after several attempts with 3-4 different drivers I ended up with your FastVoodoo2_3.5_XP .Installation went ok. When windows load i get this error message :
"Error in 3dfxv2ps.dll   Missing entry:UpdateRegSettings"  from program RUNDLL. I get this everytime windows load of course...

I press OK anyway, and things seem fine, the card is recognised by the device manager, and the display tab 3dfx voodoo2 seems to work fine...
So I move on to try some glide games :
First I try Diablo2 which has a Video test that tests your hardware and lets you choose display device... While the tests finished correctly i get no option for Glide... just the 2D and  3D with my radeon...
I read your forums and I find a sticky about V2 and Diablo2 , that says maybe try using older glide3 ....so i replace the file with an older one and i run teh video test again. This time it stops at glide testing and returns an error :
"Mapmem returned an error trying to map memory" .
After this the system doesnt crash, but the screen becomes corrupted, and unsusable...I can go to my computer, to start etc, but cant see much so I restart...


Then I try to run NFS3 that also has glide support. I choose the voodoo2 from the 3d setup program it has, and I run it.....voiala....same error (mapmem...etc). Screen blurred again....


Can you help me fix this plz? I really want to use my V2 card and play some older glide games....mostly Diablo2 and NFS3...
