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

[ahavasi]

hi. I installed the driver. First, I try to run WoW, and I got an error message (my card doesnt support dual TMU) Than I tried NFS:MW, I got black screen.

And I cant install 3dfx tools, because I got this error: Cant Register color.dll...

I made new tests with alpha37 and windows x64

unreal tournament runs only in d3d and windowed, but with the new d3d8 renderer i can play also in fullscreen mode, with other resolutions than 1024x768 the renderer crashes (same in windows 32bit)





America's Army runs ok

* I see transparency errors in Resident Evil 1 (by Capcom). Using Windows XP with Alpha37 with Voodoo3 PCI 2000. Resident Evil executable is configured as "Windows 95/98 compatible" (or it won't start at all). The game's rendering engine is configured as "creative rendition verite" (so it will run in Direct3D) (don't setup as "3dfx" because it works only with 3Dfx voodo 1). The game will run at 640x480.
The bug: everywhere the transparent parts of the backgrounds are black/opaque. I've tried different desktop resolution/depth before launching the game, with no luck. It doesn't work with Alpha36. It used to work a few years ago (with Windows 98 and 3dfx's standard drivers).


* I have very bad performance with ZsnesW (Win32 version of this Nintendo SNES/SFC emulator). Windowed mode runs fine (more than 60 fps out of 60) but fullscreen mode is very slow (12 fps, choppy sound, unplayable).
Fullscreen should run faster or equal than windowed mode with same resolution. There's a real problem here.
Also, switching from fullscreen to windowed mode or from windowed mode to fullscreen sometimes gives a colors palette problem (all messed/corrupted).

the transparency problem is a known bug,occurs in final fantasy7 as well (and probably ff8 too,I'll check).not much we can do..as for the SNES emulator,no idea.

for mouse cursor problem in AOE III, try to run the game in Windowed Mode, in my case, it fixed the problem, hope this can help

Sure I noticed it, it can't be fixed by just using Windowed mode...
but for the problem with mouse cursor, windowed mode does help

FF7 and FF8 need "paletted textures" to run correctly.

Hi all.
I'm using my Voodoo3 3000 on my 'home theatre' machine, and it works pretty good.
Using AmigaSport 3.0 I've got good video results, but when I hooked my TV the PC monitor went berserk, it constantly scrolled the image upwards (and it popped from the bottom again).
I lived with it, and recently moved to SFFT alpha 37. Now the PC monitor can work WITH the TV.
So far so good. But, I want to use MPC (Media Player Classic) to show subtitles, and it won't operate in VMR 7/9 renderless modes with the Voodoo, so I can't load the subtitles.
Is there a way to operate it correctly?
And if it doesn't work with MPC, should I use another player, or WMP with DirectVobSub?

Thanks for all your good work,
misterhatoola.

I tried alpha36 and alpha37. Same problem with these two drivers. I've also tried different ZsnesW versions (latest WIP, older versions, etc). No luck.
