New driver set for Voodoo2 and Voodoo4/5 on WinXP

[osckhar]

V6k + AGP2PCI works perfect under Windows XP. I have tried different FSAA without problem.

hi, may i ask a regedit addon to have the Vertical sync option (enable/disable/software contolled) available in D3D mode in 3dfx tools, it shows in glide/ogl only...


thank you.

Hi ggab,

Set SSTH3_SWAPINTERVAL to 0 to disable V-Sync. Or you could use the attached vsync.inf to make it show up in 3dfx tools.

USAGE: Under Windows Explorer, or when the file is on the Windows desktop, right click on the file then choose "Install".

Hi guys,

I've been recieving PMs regarding riser card + V56K combo compatibility so I'm posting answers here.

The riser card that is known to work with the V56K is the "Kuroutoshikou CHANGE-AGP2PCI". Several people have confirmed that the V56K is fully functional. Moreover, Osckhar has successfully modded the riser card to run at 66MHz PCI bus speed which is the fastest bus speed that the V56K accepts. For instructions and jumper settings see:
http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6728
http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6256

Other riser cards will mostly likely work, however information is lacking. So if anyone has a riser card working with any of the VSA cards please post them here. Info regarding PCI-E riser cards would be especially useful.

For win2k/xp, the Voodoo5 driver posted at the top of this thread will work with a riser card if the V56K is detected by the system. Other win2k/xp drivers have a bug that makes the card fail with most system configurations and is not foolproof.

thanks koolsmoky



PS: i'm really glad to see Osckhar's New World Record with his V6k + AGP2PCI !!!

@KoolSmoky,
8xFSAA does not work well. When It is enabled V6k only works to 4xFSAA.

First of all, let me just say that I only have time to deal with Glide/OpenGL and they have been tested to work with 8xFSAA. Give me some screen shots that illustrates your problem.

Remove SSTH3_VIDEO_REFRESH_OPTIMIZATION if you have any set.

Besure to read my previous post:

5. Be sure you do not have any old registry setting left from prior drivers under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
\3dfxvs\Device*" or under its subkeys.

What 3D API does it use? As I've said before, I only have time for Glide/OpenGL (READ: Spare my time to google. If you think I have reduntant time, you're on crack.) It would be helpful to provide detailed info as much as possible, demo links, screenshots, etc. I see that your numbers for 4x and 8xFSAA doesn't change, but it doesn't necessary mean that 8xFSAA isn't working. Give me some screenshots that illustrates your problem.

Sorry, both games are D3D. 8xFSAA works perfectly using API Glide, when 8xFSAA is enabled under D3D it works like 4xFSAA. I will try to get some SShots.

Thank you,
