Say us your problem and/or target so we could help you ...

Bye bye

Well, I've three targets:
- find/release an hacked/modified version of V3 drivers that works on Banshees with these hex hacks.
- find an compiled version of 4.12.01.0675 Banshee drivers.
- or find somebody with more hex hacks info like the forums info...

Thx.

Ok,

i will see if working on banshee is possible (time problem at this moment) to solve TMUs question with GLide api's. This could require some new libraries banshee dedicated.

later

Bye bye

We need new mesagl libraries to powerup opengl/glide performance and enable this feature FX_GLIDE_NUM_TMU=2.
But 4 the compiled d3d driver i think they aren't necessary in fact we need only voodoo3 driver and hacked them with vb hex.

Good but him can help compile new OGL ICD or only mesagl glide?? Because seems mesagl supports opengl 1.4...

Ah yesterday i've made a first test with 3dfx32vb.dll hacked but when my betatester went in 3dmark the 3d accelerator were not found...
So now i'm waiting phoenix he must send me his .dll so i can re-test the real score of fillrate in 3dmark.

@ mojomotion

You don't need to hack 3dfx32v3.dll of release 1.04.00 for the test. Simply rename it as 3dfx32vb.dll, it's all ! Replace the original file with the renamed and see for yourself.

mojomotion · 29 July 2003, 23:44:07

OH! I'm very stupid!

I'll send to my betatester the right file!

PHOENIX...
I did the hacks over the last 1.07.00b version of V3 drivers, and they are working really nice... Mojomotion, I can send you the files if you want.

Good news

PHOENIX · 30 July 2003, 12:19:19

I wanna mention that ASUS V3200 Win9x drivers 1.6 beta are in fact modified V3 drivers. It's 1.04.00 pre-release driver version 4.12.01.0216. About the last four digits, 0 means that driver is in beta stage (1 for stable/retail release), 216 is build version of driver.
