I picked up a king Shaman card a ways back and have been testing it.

One of the cool things about the card is that it supports 1024x768 in a few games. The card is also supper buggy with a lot of games, but not in the manner you would think. For example dark forces two when played on the primary card will not support anything higher 1024x768, remove the card and boom 1600x1200 works again. And a lot of games don't understand that the card fully supports 800x600 or even 1024x768. I'm thinking of making a custom driver to fix some of these problems but IDK how much of the problem are drivers vs the games.

More testing is needed. For now its all benching.

or a MSI Tomahawk (AMD B350) and recently a Biostar X470GTA
That Tomahawk looks nice for a voodoo2 sli setup on a newer system.

@ ms-dos
Please don't edit an "old" reply.
The best : create a new reply :)
I was fixing a spelling error.

Also I did not get any notification. Lies from you is not a surprise since you stole the files from my driver and took credit for it when you posted your own driver

Id get ahold of gold leader aka obi won kombi, he used to have a list of v56k owners and he may have a SN too.

I made a 64 bit voodoo2 driver years back and it looks like they stole a few files I made without accrediting me, crooks

A glide wrapper ?

Don't know many modern motherboards with a pci slot ...

What are  the system requirements ?

edit :
I don't know how "3DFX were so kind to send us a Voodoo 2 card" since 3Dfx doesn't exist as a company.
There are a few asrock boards with PCI.

Yeah well I'lm always here to help friends in need or good communities that I find are worth having around :)

I hope you been doing great Glide, been ages I been here, just been busy with real life but I have become the co-owner of the x-3dfx facebook community, most x-3dfx related activities are on FB these days, Ill always miss the good old x-3dfx forums tho.
So is that why the 3dfx forums are all so dead? everyone is on Facebook or something?

I hate to admin it but the mother board died on me and I gave up on it. I have a new system in the works.

Off Topic / Bringing back falconfly.
02 July 2017, 16:40:08
Ok as many of you may know falconfly.de shut down and I gotten permission to rehost  the archive and forums. So long as I don't host any and all personal info regarding the admin or user accounts on the forum.  
I have a complete copy of the archive and a HTML copy of the forums.

In your opinion would you like to see the falconfly forum brought back? We'd all have to make new user accounts, but the old posts would stay. I'd say just host the back up. But if WE the 3dfx community want it back I can host a falconfly forum.
I already have plans to host a copy of the archive and add to it. As we all know it was somewhat out of date.

But I'm holding off on doing anything with the forums until I get word from the 3dfx community.

General Discussions / Dual Piii, a work in progress
14 February 2017, 18:52:08
I'm putting together a dual 1.4ghz sk370 setup and no dollar will be spared! It must be perfect!!!

This is a work in progress. I will update this thread when I get more parts! I have not chosen all the parts I'll be useing so no system specs yet.

Day 1 Test fit motherboard, nic cd drives and vga.

What I learned: I need a longer audio cable for the cd drive.
I will need a single slot cooler or single slot video card if I want to have a voodoo2 sli setup with a nic and scsi card. I'll probably ditch the nic or go single slot in the vga.

What I'm waiting on:
Hdds, CPUs, scsi card, ram, heatsinks, caps for mobo and dust filters.

ETA on next parts delivery.
Unknown

Plans!
The motherboard will be recapped. The caps on it are mostly ok. Some I don't trust, for about 15-20$ I might as well recap it.
I will use a scis raid setup in the system.
I will need to track down some high end video cards to test in the system.

Day 2 plans!

Fit 92mm cooling fan in hdd bay. [installed]
Install 5 hdds. (36gb quantum atlas) [4 of 5 installed]
Install ram into mobo. (2gb sdr cl2 pc133) [installed]
Plan wireing layout. [done]

What I done so far.
Test fitted mobo, vga and sound card.
Put new TIM on the x850xt cleaned it and checked its fan.

What I learned on day 2
I need more molex cables.
The scsi drives are loud, on drive was bad and missing caps.

Day 3 plans!
Install scsi card, cpu's and heatsink.

Day 4 plans!
Wire the computer.
Configure raid.
Install voodoo2s

Day 5 plans!
Install Windows and apps.

Day 6 plans!
Bench and have fun

Parts I know I'll be using.  
5 quantum atlas scis hdd.
AWE64 gold.
2gb ram.
6VXDC7 motherboard.
2 1.4ghz Piii-s CPUs.
550w seasonic psu.
Ata ls-120 drive.
Sata dvd drive via sata to ide thingy.
PD-rom drive.
ADAPTEC 2100 Raid card.


Parts I'll need to buy
2 12mb Voodoo'2
Longer CD audio cable [bought]
Zip ties and anchors.
Heat Shrink.
Stick on heatsink for mosfets and vga ram.
2 80mm fans

Parts I'm waiting on.

Been fine, working on a dual Piii setup, I'll post it when Im done.

it will have 2 1.4ghz piii-s a x850xt and 2 12mb voodoo2's. and a AWE64 gold.

I'm not the biggest fan of the 64 gold, to much of an airy and tin can sound too it. But it's a no nonsice card that seems to work with everything.
I guess I could mod the card to get it sounding better.
