Holy Moly!!!

I don't think that 3dfx compatibility or progress in the community EVER has gone this fast!!

Daniel It's absolutially amazing how fast you release and how often, it's making the last year seem like we were all standing still as far as "Extreme" progress is concearned...shure progress has been made but the game compatibility increase you've shown has breathed new life into many 3dfx cards...making them compatible with new off the shelf titles, improving performance in many Q3 engine games!!

what an awesome Christmas to be a 3dfx user!

no pressure but I can't wait to see whats next!!

Daniel, you are awesome !
Really a great job you are doing.
I tested MesaFX with a V5-6000 and some games, here are the results :

Quake 3 : Runs flawless in full detail, no issues.
Elite Force 2 : Runs flawless in full detail, no issues.
Knights of the old republic : Game runs, but textures are corrupted and is quite slow.
Jedi Knight 2 : Runs flawless in full detail, but I found one problem : When you change the resolution in the game, it crashes with the following message :

This is no major bug, but I thought I mention it anyway...
Nevertheless, thank you so much for all your work.
I wish you and all others here a merry christmas.

Bye

Quick note to a site admin, probably Glide, that the mesa page on 3dfxzone.it, this one: https://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/common_files/downloads/mesafx_0.51/index.php, has not been updated to 0.51d. Also, it would be helpful to some users if this file were in .zip, not .rar, format, as it is here: https://www.3dfxzone.it/news/reader.php?objid=135. Thanx, and Merry Christmas to all (but lecram).

Just kidding lecram you have a good one too.

You must check out for news and updates at this page: http://www.3dfxzone.it/news/

After a few of time these files can be downloaded from common files page, too: however, now latest MesaFX version is available here.

Merry Christmas to you and to all 3dfx users

TO Daniel:

Hello again Daniel ,
I just need to ask you: As I saw that Amiga releases your builds more often than you upload updates to Mesa CVS , So I'm curious if these builds are based on "only yours" updated sources?

And for testing: I have still some graphical problems with Scorched3D, but much of my previous problems vere resolved. So thanks much for your work.

has anybody tested MESAGL on Daytona???

[bloodworm]

tested e rev on NWN and 98se.  it has added about 5 fps to all situations with NWN on my system.  the only thing is the white backrounds behind the text window at the bottom should be black as well as the character sheets and such.  I saw this happening with older versions of microsofts opengl32.dll as well, but the last version of microsofts opengl32.dll "fixed" this little problem. hope this helps you.  keep up the good work dborca.

In quake3 arena it doesn´t work[:p]

To GxpOGL I added the following, and I offer to add in MesaFX:
1. GL_SGIS/EXT_generate_mipmap - through gluBuild2DMipmaps.
  Realized and tested in RadeonAutoMipGen demo (ATI).
2. GL_NV_fence, GL_NV_pixel_data_range, GL_NV_vertex_array_range,
  GL_NV_vertex_array_range2 - fake extensions. Only empty functions.
  Realized and tested in learning_VAR demo (nVidia).
3. GL_SUN/EXT_multi_draw_arrays and GL_IBM_multimode_draw_arrays -
  implementation in documentation on opengl extensions.
4. Also realized GL_ARB_multisample through GL_3DFX_multisample.
  Also has corrected an error in GL_3DFX_tbuffer
  (glTBufferMask3DFX and glTbufferMask3DFX).

  I can give sources. e-mail: rbws@mail.ru

Hey Rainbow,
If you don't mind me asking, what so the 'special vga bios' you have for your voodoo5?

[Rainbow]

Special VGA Bios Setup - this setup in bios from voodoo5. Allows to change the frequency and memory timings (CAS, RAS etc) up to a loading of an operating system.

has anybody tested MESAGL on Daytona???

As soon as I am back home ( sunday evening ) I will test MesaFX on my Daytona. So far I tested only with V5-6000 and it worked great.
BTW, can anybody tell what changes were made to 0.51e ?
