Hello A. Is there any "modern" Voodoo2 driver that includes the original spinning 3DFx logo? B. Is there any "modern" Voodoo5 driver that includes the revised 3DFx logo? I got a V2 and 5 system and would like to use a driver that has those logos. If possible a more modern one.

RaverX wrote on 2021-01-21, 12:56: You need older drivers, drivers made before V3 was launched (3dfx changed the logo when they launched V3). Any driver before april, 1999 should be ok. You can't change the logo in a driver? Like change a file somewhere?

I recently finished my Voodoo2 build. It's not entirely period correct as it has a P3 but close enough. BUT to my horror if I boot a 3dfx game I am not seeing the spinning 3dfx logo when switching to glide. It's a creative 3d blaster 12mb card. Same one (not actual same, same model) I had back in …

It is DOS 3.20 (I thought it was 3.30 honestly but there you go) Shouldn't matter however: Quote: The Goto command transfers execution to a specified label. Labels are specified at the beginning of a line, with a colon (:likethis). The command is available in MS-DOS versions 2 and later. Labels do …

What version of DOS exactly are you running (show output of "ver")? Both PC/MS-DOS 3.3 support the goto/label batch commands and it does work fine locally when I try it. It is DOS 3.20 (I thought it was 3.30 honestly but there you go) Shouldn't matter however: Quote: The Goto command transfers …

Hm. Maybe the :start must be at the very beginning of the line, not sure. From what I can see, a space character is present. Maybe DOS 3.x can't handle this. Edit: Also try a capital letter (:Start or :Begin).. Otherwise, this shoukd work. : https://www.robvanderwoude.com/goto.php I'm sorry, I …

So I wanted some form of matrix rain effect using Dos 3.30. Now I quickly figured out this wasn't going to be easy .. the programs floating around are usual windows based, the batch files I found don't work as they are made with a latter Dos version in mind.. stuff like "%random%" doesn't seem to …

Currently, I have a Cyrix 6x86, around 200mhz with a Voodoo 1 which I use for 3dfx dos / early windows games. This runs on Win98SE. I also have an AMD 1.5ghz machine with 3gb DDR1 and a Voodoo5 running on WinXP. My question, would it be possible to dual booth 98se/xp (i know this isn't a problem) …

yeah, though most of those cases I'd describe as "look like an ATX case but fit AT boards" ^^ by the time ATX came around turbo buttons and Mhz displays were already out of fashion. I am looking for the reverse :) looks like a AT, fits an atx :) Nice big buttons, turbo isn't needed but the mhz …

Hello, hope you are all well, I want to make a really great looking DOS/Win98SE PC with a Voodoo2. Now I was thinking of a Pentium 2 as the sweet spot for this setup. I got all the hardware but the problem is the case. I have multiple really beautiful AT cases that just ooze DOS. But as soon as I …

I know this is an old post but I am picking up this system next week. I take the battery is not a CR2032? Is it soldered on the board or socketed at least? I have a few systems that are literally dead because the battery is dead and it is socketed on the mainboard...

You will have to identify what those conductors are. Do you have a multi meter? Please be careful and don't apply mains power till you know for sure what you have. At least one of those lines is high voltage. I have no multimeter.. but i figure i can do the most logical thing which seems to me this …

Can anyone tell me if it matter the order I attach the 4 PSU cables to the 4 power button pins? The PSU that previously was connected to this power button had 2 black and 2 white cables, but these 4 come in black, white, blue and brown...
