Hi guys,

I'm dropping off a new V2 (and Obsidian2) Glide driver kit for those who still keep the good 'ol 3dfx V2 hardware for occasional spins of their favorite glide2x,3x apps. The kit includes bleeding edge builds of 3dfx glide2x,3x drivers from http://glide.sourceforge.net/ and new win2k/xp/vista 32bit miniport drivers.

glide2x.dll 2.57.0.6528
glide3x.dll 3.4.0.6528
fxgpio.sys, fxptl.sys 4.3.0.1105

The glide driver uses 3dnow! and mmx optimizations. The miniport includes memmap fixes. Besure to read the readme.txt first. You have been warned.

Win2k/XP/VISTA 32bit: If the OS doesn't ask for a driver, install the drivers from the device manager.

Win9x/ME: Install the reference 3dfx V2 driver, then copy glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll to c:\windows\system.

For OpenGL, get Mesa for 3dfx Glide or Metabyte WickedGL or 3dfx MiniGL.

If you post feedbacks, remember to include a description of your pc setup, OS, app version, if the app uses glide2 or glide3, etc. And don't forget to thank the developers over at sourceforge.

Notes:
* Removed dirty hacks from the windows miniport driver. Fixes potential system hangs on modern systems.
* The driver inf will set SSTV2_RGAMMA, SSTV2_GGAMMA, SSTV2_BGAMMA to 1.00
* Added grStippleMode and grStipplePattern. Using Glide64, Mario will now do his dissolve trick properly.
* Includes fixes for memmap errors and desktop corruptions.
* Optimized for 3dnow! and mmx.
* FX_GLIDE_SWAPINTERVAL = 0 will force VSYNC off. V2 SLI may have problems syncing the scanlines when VSYNC is off.
* Alphablending dither subtraction is disabled by default. Set SSTH3_ALPHADITHERMODE = 3 to enable dither subtraction.
* 4x4 dither matrics is used when alphablending dither subtraction is enabled. Other wise it's always 2x2.
* Set SSTV2_MISMATCHED_SLI = 1 for mismatched SLI support. This may not work due to differences in V2 board design. If you have problems try swapping the PCI slot order of the V2 boards.
* If the screen goes blank but you still hear the application running in the background, reconnect your display and pass-through cable to the second V2 or set SSTV2_SWAPBOARDS = 1
* Win9x/ME: copy glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll to c:\windows\system
* Quantum3D Obsidian2 X-24, X-16, and similar SLI boards must have
 the following set.
 SSTV2_FT_CLKDEL = 5
 SSTV2_TF0_CLKDEL = 7
 SSTV2_TF1_CLKDEL = 7
 SSTV2_TF2_CLKDEL = 7
 SSTV2_SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL = 3
 SSTV2_SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL = 2
 SSTV2_SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL = 3
 SSTV2_SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL = 2
 SSTV2_GRXCLK = 90
