I want to report that I worked a little with UT99 ini and now I can use again full screen with alpha59, but the game runs a little strange, has lot of frameskips.

Please don't stop the awesome work on the driver!

There will be no more driver releases you can either test it properly and find out what works, or you will simply never know what works. It is the last and best driver and so the only one worth testing.

I tested some benchmarks
3DMark01SE works good, 1024x768x32 scores 2444.
3DMark00 works good but slow: 1024x768x16 scores 2111 (less than 3DMark01SE @ 32bit), 1024x768x16 @ single chip scores 2095 and displays wrong inter-test screens.
Aquamark3 works good except some texture errors.

I've got a question: is it possible to make donations as a way to support future driver development?

I am agree.

ps. SFFT driver is really awesome but it has some bugs can be fixed. For example incompatibility with new Intel Chipsets, SLI problems...

Amigamerlin 3.2 beta was based on old 3x SFFT driver releases. We got insufficient results by our internal testing so that beta never was posted on line for public testing.

New Amigamerlin packages, of course based on a SFFT driver core for both Direct3D and GLide/OpenGL APIs, could be made available for public download and testing w/out particular problems.

Two sides are worthy mentioning:

1)You 3dfx owners - like occasional hardware users as well as active SFFT driver testers (Off Topic -> TNX GUYS :)) -  deserve every possible effort by 3dfxzone.it (please read "help", "support" and "software update");

2)Like three years old Amigamerlin 3.1 R11, every new Amigamerlin driver kit could be based on a SFFT driver so the main target of those customized releases'd be optimizing Voodoo cards performance and stability while - in general - Voodoo cards  compatibility with games will be unchanged.

Bye bye

It would be so good to see a new Amigamerlin release! =)

Glide thanx for everything!

WTF!? A new release, or just a re-naming? :)[:O] Ok, the files tell a "60" which means it's really a new release. The first "beta"?

Amazing, stunning ... followed by big thanks to SFFT!
