LegendgrafiX VooDooMage 2 WindowsXP D3D GL OGL

Hi DooDg!

How the problem comes up?
No glide games running, or only problem with the N64 emu?
Check the emu's dir, and you may have glide2x or glide3x dll-s in the emulator's directory.
If this files in the emu's dir exist, try to remove this files from the emu's dir.
If none of glide games starts, try to reinstall the driver.

[DooDg]

first Thanks for replying to my problem
i uninstall the driver (lgfx_voodoomage2_xp_2_2_0) then install
(lgfx_v2_xtreme)but the game still hang i just see the old logo of 3dfx in the game start and the emulator hang, and there is no glide2x or 3x in emulator folder but in the plugin folder there is glide64.dll
and i can't Delete it or the emu will never work Supporting glide !
and i don't have any glide game to test the new driver

[DooDg]

some points to clear about what i did and what hapend
1) after instaling this driver my winXP take more time in the opening every time it turn on or restart the pc
hint: this time apper in seaing the desktop then black screen come out i think (monitor restart the new config) then back to desktop..!

2) when i change the openegl (in voodoo2 icon that in desktop) to glide3x and restart the pc in the opening of the windows the old logo of 3dfx Appear and the pc hang same as game....!

i think my problem in control panel of driver (voodoo2 icon) what Should i do....?

[enthomologist]

I would try switching the opengl driver manually by renaming opengl32.xxxx files in the windows\system32 directory to opengl32.dll and just pasting them into particular games directories, when the original system opengl32.dll file will better stay in place to avoid trouble. Also see if your card is not pushed to much on clocks - in the Voodoomage control panel or, if you'd like rather to avoid that, in the registry itself, under HKLM\Software\3Dfx Inc.\Voodoo2\D3D or \Glide in the key sstv2_grxclk, you better stick with the default value of 90, higher values may be a problem sometimes, especially with mismatched boards in SLI.

DooDg: to resolve the system start hang problem, press start key + R, type MSCONFIG and enter, and disable all Voodoomage stuffs.

If you cant resolve the Glide/OpenGL hang, please try to install version 2.2.0, and retry with it. If this not helped, install again the 2.5.x version, go to control panel and disable 24bit Glide rendering, set voodoo's clock to 88mhz.

If this not works, be sure in that you installed correctly the Voodoo2's, you can found the installation tutorial at http://voodoomage.uw.hu/faq/install_eng.html and installed the voodoo's firmly.

If this not helps, please try to update your primary graphics card's driver.
Supported primary cards:
from TNT2 -> GeForce7800 (default winxp drivers dont supported)
from Radeon7000 -> Radeon x1900 (use latest Catalyst driver, you dont need any patch to driver to resolve display corruption bug)
-SiS6326
-Riva128
-Se Savage4 (need the latest driver)

Be sure that the correct driver files are installed, and its not owerwrited with any files.

I relase the source of my old stuffz.
Source of VoodooMage2 will be also relased a few days later.
Now i work on a new web page, a better looking... I finish it, and relases the old sources.
So...

What will be relased?
-The source of the menu system/control panel
-The source of the device detacher / re-attacher mechanism

How to re-compile it?
- U need a DarkBasic classic 1.0.8
OMG what is that?
- That is a old slow idiot stuff. I think it never relased. Actualy *khm* *khm* i hax0rzed a bit the compiler for compile some stuffz *khm* *khm*..  eh?
OMG why u not used C for this stuff?
- Dunno... But be carefull, best to use with 1.0.8, using different versyin may dies without d3d acceleration at start. 1.0.8 compiled executables runs fine with some ddraw only.

Licensz: Free for any use, but plz greet me, thx.

The contra:
-The sources (varibles, ect) is writed in hungarian language
-No documentation
-Somehow the TAB-s in source are crapped.

Geri, these are very good news since you decided not to continue with this driver. I only hope your contribution to 3dfx community will be the beginning of a new 3dfx driver for our old Voodoo2

Now the question: Could we develop a new driver for Windows Vista?


And Geri, one more thing: thanks for release the sources and maintain alive ours Voodoo2

Hello Geri!
I've been having problems for a long time and now i've decided to post.
I don't know what it is but when i install your drivers my Gefore 7600GT fails to intilize. The forceware drivers turn off but my voodoo 2 card works. And if i install the forceware drivers again the voodoo2 card turns off. I don't know how to fix it. I've read somewhere here that your drivers support geforce cards up to 7800 but it doesn't work with mine. I've recently formated my computer and i'm using Windows XP with a single Voodoo2 card and a GeForce 7600GT forceware 91.31. There should be no problems right?

[Geri]

Hi Xpresser!

The newest card i tested with is the GeForceFX5200.
I dont know about the newest cards how works with it.
May try to go to the bios, and try to enable "ASSIGN IRQ TO VGA".

What is your config? May the driver is incompatibile with your mobo.

I've just formated my drive and made a fresh install of Windows XP SP2
-   I updated Windows XP first and then installed all drivers
-   First I installed ForceWare 91.31
-   Second The 3dfx Voodoo2 card and when I restarted everything was in 4-bit colors and in Display Proporties forceware menu was gone.
There was a secondary monitor the 3dfx Voodoo2 Card it was useable.
I reinstalled ForceWare drivers and the Secondary Monitor (voodoo2 card) Disapeard. The Drivers were still installed but the Voodoo2 card wasn't usable

i'll try to post pictures later if this doesn't help
I would really like to use my Voodoo card for some games like Final Fantasy VIII on pc in
Windows XP because it only works in Software Rendering with my 7600GT =(
plz help


By the was I forgot to mention that I had the exact same problem with my ATI x550 pci-e so maybe it's all newer graphic cards?

Xpresser, try some Glide Wrapper - like evoodoo or simular. I have some, they work without voodoo hardware card, sometimes - very good. Also, take a look at glidos (http://www.glidos.net and other sites) - for DOS games under Windows.

[Xpresser]

noooope doesn't work on Final Fantasy VIII i need Direct3D not glide. Thanx 4 advice tho..

[SEG_Striker]

Xpresser, if you need D3D, why you have to use V2 then? I think GeForce 7600GT is much much better in D3D then any Voodoo card, especially V2's
