Re: Fortex: Vortex2+YMF744

hard1k wrote on 2021-07-04, 14:58: Wow! Great to hear that there are other Vortex projects out there! Would you give some more details on it? It's not a Vortex project, but rather a personal project that would make use of the chip's 3D audio capabilities in a workstation-like system.

hard1k wrote on 2021-06-26, 11:08: Pinout - yes, we've already figured that out, once we have a working prototype, I'll release that info. Registers - no, we don't plan to code anything new, so we're not messing with those. Cool, the only reason I ask is because I have a personal project that may …

TelamonLivesOn: Looking forward to see the end result of your project, I hope you'll keep us updated :) I won't be finishing anytime soon. It will likely take me years. But for reference, this is a cross-platform game engine designed to be able to run on any vintage or modern system. I've already …

I just found out that http://www.vgamuseum.info/index.php/component/k2/item/340-rendition-verite-v2100 has a datasheet for the card, which includes register names and functions, along with other programming information. I will probably just write custom code for this and not use any driver for DOS. …

If I could at least find low-level details about the hardware, I would be fine with writing my own custom driver, since my current project is very "Not Invented Here" themed. Edit: That's why I was inquiring about the SDK in the first place: since I have a project that would utilize it.

I have a feeling vquake is a special case, and instead of Speedy3D they went down to writing custom firmware just for that one game, or at least modifying it. Quake was super important for them. That would make a lot of sense, considering Carmack expressed having been really frustrated with …

For those interested, here are the web page archives for the various files. I don't see any mention of Speedy3D http://web.archive.org/web/19981202065910/http://www.rendition.com:80/ToTheRRedline.html http://web.archive.org/web/19970605062153/http://www.rendition.com:80/prodtech.html http://web. …

That actually brings up an idea: has anyone contacted the original Rendition Verite team to ask if they have any source code? Edit: From what I've read, Rendition was bought out by Micron in 1998. I doubt Micron still has the files though. However, it may also be possible to reach out and get the …

I'm looking for this too, and I've been looking a lot longer than you... probably nine years, off and on. My only thought at this juncture is to contact known users of Speedy3D, from companies and their former employees to hobbyists, and prevail upon their generosity should they have it in their …

Hello all, Over the past several months, I have learned about the Rendition Verite cards and how they were one of the early 3D accelerators for PCs. As such, these cards ran in MS-DOS and initially only supported their proprietary API. In particular, the Rendition Verite supported a proprietary API …

Re: Bare 3Dfx Voodoo 2 board pictures

I was looking for pinouts for the FBI and TMU to repair my Voodoo 2 (Creative CT6670) but couldn't find any. Right now I'm trying to figure out the connections between the chips to understand the architecture and know where to put my oscilloscope probe. If anyone has something, please let me know. …
