I think SFFT sold off his Voodoo fleet on eBay not so long ago. Hopefully somebody else will take over! Did SFFT release the source of his work anyone know?

Hope my presumption is wrong though [:p]

Hello, I've been using these drivers for a while and am very impressed but my problem is I can't get 1360x768 mode to work even with powerstrip (advanced timings dont activate).

I noticed in the driver itself it had some along the lines of HKR,"TIMINGS\800,600\

would it be possible to add timings manually to the driver to allow me the extra modes, or if anyone can suggest another way to do it automatically that would be great.

if powerstrip does not work,you will have to hack the inf file manually (and reinstall it afterwards) I'm afraid.

Soft-15kHz allows you to add modelines to your system too.
I can do all that stuff even without joystick ;)

Just a quick update to say it seems that 3.85 works, the new 3.86beta doesnt.

I now have native 1360x768, hurray!

Hi, I am french and I begin on this forum. I run Voodoo 3/4 on a K6bv3+/66 & K6-3+ machine. I had just began on Win 7 RC 7100 and try the SFFT 1.5 driver. It runs with a V3000 pci.



Thank you very much for your nice job on 3dfx cards.Don't give up !

I experienced problems with V4500 agp as my Via chipset driver seems not to manage well the agp under win 7 RC.
I would know if I can use 3dfx Tools (and its overclock pannel) under Win 7 ?
Is it possible to manage Agp with tweaking tool as Powerstrip or so on under win 7 ?

EDIT : Fix problems on V4500. V4500 is 'Seven Ready' too !

is SFFT still among us?

btw, i'm wondering if it's also possible to run vsa-100 on windows 7 x64..

Good news to everyone!
To use a native 1360x768 you should do this:
  • First, open the 3dfxvs2k.inf and locate HKR,"TIMINGS\1280,1024\100Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW""
  •  
  • Now you copy this: HKR,"TIMINGS\1360,768\60Hz",,,"1776,1424,1600,795,772,780,0,85500000,6000,8,21705"
    HKR,"TIMINGS\1360,768\60Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW"
    [/b] and paste after the HKR,"TIMINGS\1280,1024\100Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW".
    It should apear like that:...
    HKR,"TIMINGS\1280,1024\100Hz",,,"GTF"
    HKR,"TIMINGS\1280,1024\100Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW"

    [b]HKR,"TIMINGS\1360,768\60Hz",,,"1776,1424,1600,795,772,780,0,85500000,6000,8,21705"
    HKR,"TIMINGS\1360,768\60Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW"[/b]


    HKR,"TIMINGS\1600,1024\60Hz",,,"2088,1632,1792,1070,1027,1030,12,134049600,6000,8,28063"
    HKR,"TIMINGS\1600,1024\60Hz",Supported,,"BPP+8+16+32,DDRAW"
    ...
  • Reinstall driver and enjoy.

Well, if you don´t understand how to do this, then download this file:
Download Attachment: 3dfxvs2k.zip

[or here] http://uploaddearquivos.com.br/download/3dfxvs2k.inf
And then paste the inf file to the SFFT driver folder, replace the older file and reinstall driver.

hi,
Can someone post the .inf setting for 1366x768 too? I tried changing 1360 to 1366 from the earlier post but it mess up the displayed image.

I've been alternating between SFFT 1.5 and 3dfx W2k reference drivers on a 5500 PCI I just put back into service (XP SP3). I've had mixed results with both but on the whole 3dfx reference are more compatible and stable, while SFFT drivers are ZIPPY when they work. Thanks for all the hard work that went into these.

I know it's a long shot but I've been trying to get the Longest Journey working with SFFT 1.5 with no success. Anytime I run it, as soon as I try to load a game my computer instantly shuts down and reboots. Changing various options in SFFT Tools/V. Control didn't help. The same thing happened when I tried the 3DHQ drivers, briefly. The game runs fine on 3dfx W2k drivers.

This game is a finnicky one; Nvidia drivers stopped supporting it properly a while back and the only other thing I can use to play it is my onboard S3 virge adapter (aside from running in software mode).

Otherwise most of the games I've tried on SFFT work well if not perfectly. These are great drivers and I hope we haven't seen the last release!

you can try some older release,there is always a chance it will work better for you-A41custom would be a good start.
