I have done the same as you have with my Hardware.registry file and this is the result after turning hardware acceleration on:

I guess Voodoo3 has problems with texture size(?) The error I got was not 'Texture Switching Failed' but 'CreateDevice(IID_IDirect3DHALDevice): DDERR_INVALIDPIXELFORMAT'...

Anyway, THANK YOU very much for your help!

I'm using the latest DirectX - 9.0c
Drivers are latest Voodoo3 drivers for win2k 1.03.00 with KoolSmoky - 3dfx GLIDE for Windows.

How did you manage to enable hardware acceleration on your V5??

Nightbird, thanks for your help! Let's hope they will help us with 3dfx cards, since they are no longer supported anywhere .

Nightbird,

after the game tells me that my video card does not support hardware acceleration it runs in software mode... I'd like it to run in accelerated mode.

My machine:
CPU: Intel Celeron 433 MHz
RAM: 256 MB
HDD: 2x80 GB (ExcelStor & Maxtor)
GPU: 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 AGP
OS: Windows XP Professional SP2
...anything else?

I know the requirements say you need a P-III 500, but I'm pretty sure it must run OK on my machine. It does actually, only I can't get no video acceleration.

Regards.

I know most of you here are probably running 3D games and don't bother with such games as Chuzzle Deluxe... http://reflexive.com/index.php?PAGE=game_detail&AID=564
However, I hope some of you might be able to help me enable hardware acceleration on my Voodoo3 3000 AGP (SDram) with this one. The game tells me my video card is not capable of hardware acceleration. I don't believe that Voodoo3 is not capable of accelerating this little game.

So, if anyone has any suggestions, please help me!:)
