LegendgrafiX VooDooMage 2 WindowsXP D3D GL OGL

[Geri]

hey... you disabled the ati radeon 9600 seconady in the system/device tab?? Disable it... when ok, a red ! will apeear before the text...

[Xasd]

Yes, I have disabled ATI Radeon secondary display but it doesn't work.

Here are what I can see in differents tests into Direct3D:

ATI first and secondary activated + Legendgrafix VoodooMage2 -> If I take a screenshot and I paste it into Paint I see two displays in the image, like image in my previous post. When I run the game I can see only left image (Desktop background without any icons and taskbar).

ATI first activated and secondary disabled + Legendgrafix VoodooMage2 -> If I take a screenshot I can see only one image like left image (desktop background) in my previous post. I only can see Desktop background without any icons or taskbar.

ATI first and secondary activated + Voodoo2 driver (whith no Legendgrafix VoodooMage2 init) -> The screenshot is normal (one display), I can see the game and no desktop background.


I plan in the next days to format my PC and install the drivers at first time, to test its.

I created the new version of the driver, but i cant upload it, in home my net is dead

So when i have a net, i will upload the drivers.

version 2.2.0XP - multilanguage
fixed:
-now SLI works
-mismatched SLI support
-Stingray 24 / Obsidian X16/X24 now works

still containing small bugs:
-in some situations the monitor runs only at 60Hz

It works without any errors in my system:

K7S5A + ~2200 Mhz AMD (143Mhz FSB)
384 Mbyte DDR-RAM
Ati Radeon 9550@9600 128 mbyte 128 bit
Diamond Monster 3D 2 12 mbyte +
Innovision Mighty3D 12 mbyte

Geri I have one question. Have you experienced problems with previous release of this driver with your ATI Radeon 9600 or the problem is in my computer?.

I only can say that when I format my PC and reinstalled all the drivers I had the same problem -> when I run "LegendGrafix VoodooMage2 icon" I only see a blank screen (in OpenGL) or desktop background (in D3D) and if I take a screenshot and I paste into Paint I can see two displays (left with desktop background and right with the game running, using my ATI Radeon 9600). I hope this new version resolve this problems .

I created the previous with GeForceFX5200, but i tested it with a Radeon7000, S3 Savage4, and SiS6326. I get some bugs only with the Savage, but i fixed it before is relased the driver.
With the radeon 7000, i dont seen any bugs.
When i have buyd my Radeon9550@9600, i dont tested the driver... I know, Voodoo1/2 has problems with the DX9 Radeons. So i have implemented to the driver the Radeon patch dll-s, without testing the previous drivers. I hope the new driver will be ok.
And you must now disable the secondary radeon.. It works perfect with them.

May i download it a few days later...

Yup, and i forgot: full english readme + help

eyz,

Today I started using your drivers/runtimes

Glide and opengl ( wickedGL ) works good @ the moment. But i noticed that the performance can't get close to the results of Fastvoodoo2 4.6 package. Actually i noticed a huge FPS loss as when i use glide2/3x with wickedGL from the fastvoodoo package.
Direct3D works !! but on the most games i tested it on i got the messange: Failed to create primary surface.
I don't know if i have done something wrong ?

ps. I replaced the glide2x dll with that from coolsmokey's, i guess that's richt ?

[Jules]

whoops, i ment that i noticed a hige frame loss with the voodoomage drivers as when i used fastvoodoo 4.6

ps. sorry for my bad english

[Geri]

frame loss? You meen lower frame rate?

[Jules]

yup, that's what i ment

[Mr. Robson]

I think ur a genius Geri! people have long tried to create these d3d drivers and you or on a good start!! keep up the good work

[ps47]

wonder if it would be possible use Voodoo2 SLI and run a D3D game in 1024*768 resolution..

[Nemesis887]

Current Build of Legendgrafixs voodoomage 2 build hangs my system.
Dosnt work at all.Black screen after trying to use in Glide/OpenGL mode (Turok for glide/Quake 3 for OpenGL)
System Specs
Asus K8N Mobo/Nforce 3 250
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (Oc)
1.5GB of PC2700 RAM
Windows XP Pro (OEM) SP2
Magic 3DII 12MB video card
STB Voodoo 2 12MB
Geforce Fx 5600 Ultra 256MB video card
DirectX 9.0c
Latest Nividia drivers installed.
SLI cable linked.

In optimization config menu, after freezing, I reboot and
everything is reset to disabled. Both cards work individually.
Not sure what the problem is, any suggestions?

[ps47]

are you able to run opengl/glide games with normal voodoo2 xp drivers?

[Nemesis887]

Will not work with regular drivers, in the 3Dfx display settings, it will detect SLI. I left it enabled to see what would happen, but all it does is the monitor goes black for 2 seconds and goes back to desktop. Disable the SLI (through the control panel.)And it functions again. Legendgrafix's drivers do not work at all. Either the screen goes black and drops back to desktop, screen goes black and monitor goes off and hangs the system, but no error messages. In SLI mode this happens. When the SLI cable is disconnected these drivers seem to work okay.

-Drivers I used were Legendgrafix's voodoomage 2.0.0, FastVoodoo2 XP 4.0, Hacked XP voodoo(normal)drivers. All seem not to work. Though only one has MM support. I tried yesterday to install Windows 98 SE on this system. It will not install becuase of a not enough memory error on install. I thought that was very funny becuase this system has 1536MB of RAM and 490GB of Hard Drive space. So i gave up on 98SE.
And Windows ME should stay dead. I am not trying that.

[Mr. Robson]

Maybe one of your RAM memory is bad/corrupted it would explain why your system isn't working as it should
