SFFT alpha drivers - V3/4/5 - Join to Testing

SuperFurryFurryThing · 19 February 2005, 13:52:52

Freelancer shouls work without the need for 3DAnalyze. It has worked properly for a while.

The SFFT alpha 23 should work with a V3500, I have tried it, using the video capture options and I got video input from the RGB amd SVideo inputs on a PAL system, although there was a lot of distortion on the sound. I used the TV component driver from Amigersport 3.
I could not get a TV channel input. The video output options have been tested on a PAL system using a V3 3000 and a V3 3500.

The SFFT23 drivers are perfect for me real stalble and no crashes. Ghost recon works well and flight sim also, Below I posted some screen shots for your enjoyment. Note the the third pic the voodoo card does not draw high altitude Cirrue clouds well. They show up as square or rectangular white panes.

@FBS,

Except for the cloud rendering problem you mentioned these shots look sweeeet

I think I'm going to grab the game

Actually the cloud rendering problem was caused by a bad texture files. Now all is weel. As for the shots tehy do look sweet . I love the reflective textures.

hi all
I found a way to play at Americas Army:
you must replace the string UseStencil=True with UseStencil=False in ArmyOps.ini in system directory.
All works fine but I don't understand why the game at all resoluction and all details has the same fps

QuoteI love the reflective textures.

I tried A23 + Win XP + my new Voodoo 3 - 1000G, but subs. vendor ID is not listed in *.inf file. Can you ad it, please?

SFFT:

I was trying the Swat 4 Demo, and the games runs really fast... but I get some "artifacts" in some parts (almost in doors, boxes, little items), I think that the game use "Unreal II" engine....

I'll post a couple of screenshots and a ZIP file with 11 screenshots if someone want to see it...

There is a way to solve this trouble?..

Demo direct Link:

ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/pc/games/pcgameworld/demos/swat4_spdemo_en.exe

Settings:
SFFT Alpha 23
Amd 2500+
512 RAM
V5 5500 PCI
1024x768x32
FSAA 2x
In game all put to "Medium"

Thnx...

ZIP File = Swat 4 Screenshots

The Alpha 24 Drivers are online. These mainly address some problems with compressed textures. I have included the Glide/OpenGL driver from Amigermerlin 3.1 R6 in the V4/5 driver.

@SFFT:
I see that you have included the glide2x to glide3x wrapper in the voodoo4/5 driver.baad idea.most glide2x games will not run.there is no reason for using the wrapper,original 3dfx glide2x or koolsmoky's modified one will work 100x better..

chatocl · 20 March 2005, 06:06:20

Sfft 24 is working fine with my V3 and WinXP, like previous releases.

Good work SFFT

peppos83 · 21 March 2005, 16:42:36

x SFFT: SFFT alpha driver for Win98/Me??? It would be fantastic... You perform also this miracle[:p]

ps47 · 21 March 2005, 19:48:28
