Right.
Remember, this is the thread for SFFT' D3D core.
If you have problems with glide/openGl or others issues ... thanks to open a new thread in the right section because here you will be off topic.

The only thing I do not know is where to put the key now.
Screenshot anyone??

I have attached a zip archive with 2 utilities one to enable texture management tmon.exe and another tmoff.exe that disables texture management, just run tmoff.exe and then reboot when prompted.

tested and it works ok.

-have SFFT A35 installed (dont forget to use that opengl package,after installing SFFT,extract it to your windows/system32 folder)
-download the texture management utilities,extract the archive
-run TmOff.exe,reboot
-run tumblebugs in D3D mode,and it will work ok.

btw,final fantasy7 still doesnt work right,no matter what settings (dx7/8,set3/4 tile,TM on/off)




@SFFT:
I have finally set up everything the way I wanted,and now I have an athlonxp3000/voodoo5 5500mac system ready for testing.if you need to test something,just whistle (and send a link to the games demo)

[Combatman]

I finally have the game working flawlessly. I have a new problem that has arrived. Age of empires 3 works ok but the ground and water texures are mismatched glitched or something wierd. Oh well everything else plays ok. I read that other people have this problem in other games as well

Close combat: First to fight runs with alpha35 and 3dAnalyzer (emulate hw t&l caps)

[Rolo01]

3DMark03 runs with Alpha35 plus 3DAnalyze ( emulate Cube Maps ).

Small texture problems at the front of the planes and with transparency at the windows.
Result : 95 3DMarks with Voodoo4 PCI

Wow! I remember this to be impossible. Is the Alpha 35 the first driver that is able to start the 3DM03?

P.S: Nice Fps. X-D

[Rolo01]

Hmm, not sure about that, Alpha 35 is the first one I tried with 3DMark03.
The FPS are actually not that bad, I got 13 FPS with Voodoo4 PCI.

Its better result then Manli GF4MX420 (125/100) : 86

[Raff3DC]

Well, my V5 5500 PCI @ 190/190 and 40 MHz PCI clock reaches 167 3DMarks. The PCI bus is the bottleneck.

GF2 GTS 32 MiB @ 230/215: 300 3DMarks.

I will receive a v4 next days,:D so i intend to plug it into my Socket 939 Abit av8 board, with a 3500+ venice. I think that it should work.
The v4 is AGP 4x compatible and the mobo also. Has somebody try such a combination ? Any risk ?
Any ideas about how much points i will get with this system ? ( in 3DMark 2003 )

Best Regards.

[ps47]

you may need to set the agp command fifo to disabled,the card may not work properly without that (opengl very slow performance,lockups).

[Raff3DC]

Any news or releases notes for the Alpha 36? =)
