I'm using Windows 8 Developer Preview and can't install my Voodoo 4 with the SFFT drivers.
The system says the driver is not compatible with that version of Windows.

Windows 8 describes the board as Microsoft Basic Display Adapter.

Hi, SFFT. I've been using your driver for a long time now.
Been there when it came out, used it with my Voodoo 4 4500 card on win XP, Vista, 7, and it always worked perfectly on every one of them.

But now i'm using Windows 8 Developer Preview and there are issues installing it.
I realise its not even close to a final version of Windows, but i was wondering if there was something that can be done so i could install my card on Win 8.

The error it gives me is that the driver is not compatible with this version of Windows.
My Card is a Voodoo 4 4500
Using Windows 8 Developer Preview x64.

Also, gonna take the opportunity to thank you for your awesome work.
Sometimes i just can't believe we're in 2011 and i can still play 3d games on win 7 with my precious voodoo board.
Thanks a lot man.

did you change anything in the core?

if not, then it wont work.

Like i told you, the Amigamerlin 3.0 works, now the 3.1 R1 does not. Something was changed in the core between these two versions that makes it uncompatible with Vista.

Does it work with Vista?

are there any new version in development?

so SFFT, does it mean that the Driver won´t ever work on vista?

I´m using Vista x86 RTM (the latest version so far), and i tried the SFFT alpha 42 (the latest version so far, too). and only the Amigamerlin Driver got my card working. but now i can´t play World of Warcraft. I had to let XP onb the other hard disc to play it.

Couldn´t you give it a look and maybe develop a new version of the driver to work under vista?

hi.

i´m running windows vista.
my config is:
Atlhon XP 2000+
Voodoo 4 4500 PCI
Asus A7N8X-X
512MB DDR 333mhz

I tried to install the SFFT Drivers on Windows Vista, but i got a Blue Screen when i restarted my Computer.
So i tried the 3dhq 1.09 beta 10, and Amigamerlin 3.1 RC1 (witch is using the same core as SFFT drivers, if i´m not wrong.)
Got blue screens with all those.

The only driver i tried that got my Voodo 4 4500 working on Windows Vista was Amigamerlin 3.0 for WinXP.

But now i can´t play World of Warcraft. I think the reason is because Vista comes with DirectX 10, and Amigamerlin only supports directx 8.

My question is: do you intend to make SFFT drivers work on Windows Vista and support DirectX 10?
