EDIT i forgot to say that it is really GREAT (as all we now )

glide(beta) and d3d(alpha) are still in deveploment & testing.....

I know it's an addon, but quite an essential one.

i am planning a major MesaFX release, and I need your help: i want to collect the best Glide3x libs for all cards (all generations: V1, VR, V2, VB, V3, V4, V5).

i brought the Glide3x repository at SourceForge up-to-date (Linux / DOS), but I really don't have time to fix the win32 interface. and - as I stated many times before - I don't deal with windoze crap. (sorry, Kool, I couldn't help myself don't mind me)

that is, I need windoze dlls.

as far as I now,the latest voodoo1 glide3x (ver 3.04.00.0455) can be found in the latest original 3dfx driver (ver. 30100,described as q3 compatible driver).mesafx works fine with this glide3x (quake,q3 arena,return to castle wolfenstein,hitman1)..

Seems the Glide3x.dll 3.03.00.0670 is the latest one for Voodoo2

hi
Why MesaFx for Doom3 not supported Voodoo 2 ?
when i try it D3 have error with choose pixel format

[Shogakusha]

For the voodoo 1, there aren't alot of choices.  I honestly just use which ever one comes with the drivers I'm using, and I haven't found anything better than Iceman's drivers at the moment.  The development of 3rd party drivers for the voodoo 1 doesn't seem to be a huge priority for anyone, I wonder why...

because doom3 was designed with stencil in mind.

[dborca]

so far...
Voodoo2 Glide3x 3.03.00.0670
Voodoo1 Glide3x 3.04.00.0455
some links perhaps?

let me clear few things;): Doom is trying to run doom3 beta on his voodoo2,using the regular mesafx,but he is getting the pixelformat error.doom3 beta runs on the voodoo2 using wickedgl,but it looks like chocolate doom most of the time:D (d3beta+wickedgl+voodoo5 looks very similar).mesafx could improve things a lot (sw rescaling etc.,all the voodoo you do soo good too:D)..note that this is just for fun/testing purposes,we all know doom3 full will never run on a voodoo2 (never..I hate that word[xx(])..

[Shogakusha]

I wouldnt' be sure about impossible, I found this http://blogs.lns.kicks-ass.net/moonjihad/archives/cat_programming.html while desperately searching for a way to make doom 3 run on my brothers computer, which has my old kyro 2 in it.  This worked, but if you go the page, he made the little stub dll to make doom 3 load on his rage 128, and has screenshots of it doing so, at 1 fps.  So getting retail to load on old hardware is possible, doing anything with it after that probably isn't.

The voodoo2 has not enough texture memory.
Yet .

Voodoo 2 is either an 8 meg or 12 meg card.  In SLI that's either 16 or 24.  A Rage 128 came in 8, 16, and 32.  Don't know which one was used, but see the above link.  Actually, the reason I don't believe it will work now that I think about it is that doom 3 is in 32 bit color.  Not sure how to get around that.
