Q3D Obsidian2 SLI2 X-24 problem, W2K

[Avenger]

Mine is fixed, thanks to Koolsmoky. It was a conflict with my network card.

I'm uploading what may help ppl experiencing desktop corruptions and memmap or mapmem errors. The fix is intended for all V2 cards, including Q3D Obsidian2.

The attachment contains bleeding-edge builds of Glide2 and Glide3 drivers from glide.sourceforge.net that Daniel and I have worked on. They should work without desktop corruptions. Also included are my modified windows miniport drivers which attempts to fix memmap or mapmem errors under win2k/xp.

Check out readme.txt before installing the drivers and post your feedbacks here. This is a test release! You have been warned.

Cheers,
KoolSmoky

yes indeed,the glide2x fixes the desktop corruption for me (radeon9800pro)! great!
I can see that all reg setting are really ignored.is this permanent or just because the release is "beta"?

The function will be added sometime in the future. ATM you can always set the env vars from the system environment.

there will be a big (all-cards) glide3x release on sourceforge in the near future, so stay tuned. atm, we're working on revived code.

hitman1 works with the new glide3x,but after exiting the game I have a black screen with frozen mouse (the pc however seems to be running,when I press alt+f4+enter it goes to sleep mode as usuall).the old glide3x (667) works,with an error message after exiting the game (some memory error,clicking ok is all I need to to)..

My PC simply freezes or reboots when I exit Unreal Gold. I can however use ALT TAB and then terminate it with the taskmanager.

Newer Voodoo2 driver with Memmap fix is now on line: you can read setup info and grab it at this link: https://www.3dfxzone.it/news/reader.php?objid=579

This is an other great KoolSmoky work: I like thanks him here

Good 3dfx gaming to all

Bye bye

@koolsmoky:
that glide2x you made is absolutely great (glide2x,minigl games run without lag and there is no desktop corruption after exiting),but unfortunately,it doesnt work with wickedgl (using your glide2x,wickedgl cannot identify the voodoo2 properly,seems like my voodoo2 gets identified as voodoo3 or banshee[?]).wickedgl works fine with glide2x version 2.56.00.0459 (but corrupts the desktop after exiting[V])..
I hope this helps a bit..

Hello, I am new here nut not new to the Voodoo cards anyway's I digged my Quantum Obsidian x2 by Quantum 3d out of the closet still in the box even.  Anyway's  I plugged it in the motherboard with my Radeon 9600 pro installed the new memfix drivers.  I can run the donut demo thats it.  No NFL blitz glide, unreal tournament it goes black or freezes?  I know the other voodoo 2 drivers I couldn't get that far it would say window handle error and mem error.  I am running windows XP service pack 2 with a msi and barton XP core.


Thanks

Stupid question: how do I install it?. I've done right clic on the .inf file, install, and nothing happens. Thanks.

[Avenger]

That already did it. There is no message. Reboot to be sure and all should be go.
