Doom3 + Voodoo2_Patch_v1_0

[ad2117a4]

Doom is great!

[technik733]

Not to go all necromancer and raise long dead threads from the grave but... The link is dead and I really want to try this on my new(not really) V5 5500. =( Is it hosted someplace else?

[ps47]

I think I should have it somewhere,let me check..

[princess]

if you can't dig it up PS47, let me know. i'm pretty sure i've got a copy of it squirrelled away somewhere.

[Doom]

sorry for broken link, i have problem with server
but i hope i will fix it soon

[technik733]

Well it's been a while, anyone found it? =/ I got doom 3 to run normally with amigamerlin drivers yesterday after I set them to dx8 messed around with mesafx. but it won't run now for some reason...

And while I'm here, does anyone know how to get quake 4 running like this? Do you just use the same patch?

[technik733]

Oh wow... nevermind, It looks like I somehow found it a while ago, or one of you guys pmed me or somthing. Huh. What about Quake 4 though?

[benna]

Quake 4 is unable to run in mesafx, even with doom3 patch

[technik733]

Hmm... Alright, I'll try it again, but I haven't been able to to so far. To use the doom 3 patch you have to sort through the different quake 4 files though, right? What drivers are you using?

Thought you said ABLE to... Nevermind, thanks. Is there any other way to run quake 4 on a voodoo 5?

[technik733]

Ahh, so I should try the newer SFFT drivers for quake 4. I'll try that then.

[Spectrobozo]

it's possible to run o voodo 2 8mb sli? or only the 12mb?

[benna]

Of course you can! download latest driver for your O.S. and have fun

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

heh it's been great reading this thread again which gives me an idea also to run Doom3 on a Voodoo5 5000 since it has a memory limitation like a Voodoo2 has thus the idea

I will start testing on two different Voodoo5 5000's

test 1:

AMD AthlonXP 2700+
EPoX EP-8K3A+
2x 512MB PC3200 Kingston Hyper X @ PC-2700
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 AGP 32MB Rev.A0 3700 @ 166Mhz cores/mem
Creative SB Audigy2 Platinum

Win98SE NL + UnOfficial Service Pack 2.03 NL
3dfx WHQL 1.04.00
DX9.0c

test 2:

AMD AthlonXP 2700+
EPoX EP-8K3A+
2x 512MB PC3200 Kingston Hyper X @ PC-2700
3dfx Voodoo5 5000 PCI 32MB Rev.A1 0900 @ 143Mhz cores/mem
Creative SB Audigy2 Platinum

Win98SE NL + UnOfficial Service Pack 2.03 NL
3dfx WHQL 1.04.00
DX9.0c

a PCI variant runs alot slower so I wonder how the effect will be compared with the AGP variant

Stay tuned my friends I am about to do something no one has done before as in never so open via the internet with both Voodoo5 5000's, it is time to reveal their secrets

[technik733]

Cool, looking forward to it. =)
