That's kinda what I had figured. I do have a Intel Celeron 500mhz and mobo lying around, waiting to be used. Maybe I'll slap the voodoo 2 in that if I decide to get serious with those components.

I currently have a Pentium 1 200mhz with a Diamond Monster 3D Voodoo 1 card installed. Everything works perfectly. That being said, a friend of mine recently gave me a Diamond Monster 2, 12mb voodoo 2 card and I'm tempted to give it a go but I'm not sure this P200 system is worth bothering with. The …

Alright I'll see if I can get it done. Hopefully a newer driver will fix the issue. Will update if this isn't the case. Thanks everyone for all the help. It really is appreciated. If anybody has anything else to contribute or any ideas, please let me know! <3 1/18/21 EDIT: Updated the driver and it …

3DFXGL.DLL is the miniGL, you already got it. Fix your driver and you should be fine. By "fix your driver" i'm assuming you mean update Diamond Moster 3d drivers to a newer version? 1.08 maybe? That was kinda what I figured needed to be done but I wasn't sure. The device manager issue has been …

do you use a pirated copy of Quake II ? maybe the folder is write protected ? No, it's retail. Bought off ebay. If anybody has any clues please let me know. The Diamond card is 100% installed correctly. All 3d tests are working (Tomb Raider, etc etc), card is now officially showing up properly in …

Try copying the files on another computer without the USB Floppy drive. From my own experience and what I've read online, USB FDDs are not really reliable for writing to media and could just be corrupting your data. Sadly USB floppy drive is the only method I have of transferring files from my …

never included as part of driver package for Diamond Monster3D MiniGL is a part of Quake II installation. You don't need to install it separatedly. IIRC the MiniGL installation is optional in GLQuake only. Which one of these would be best? I prefer to use the full ICD (3dfxvgl.dll) not a minigl. …

So I managed to run an instance of explorer as admin and did get some minigl drivers to actually work. That being said the GLquake installer just does not want to play nice and I have no clue why. I copied the files from Win10 onto a floppy disk as admin so why these errors persist is a mystery. …

Yeah so I tried copying + pasting files from the FDD to C:/ on the p200 with the same error popping up.. Also yeah, using USB FDD on modern computer to create floppys for older computer. Just can't get these disks to run proper on the older computer without getting this stupid error.

I'm desperately trying to get MiniGL installed onto an old Pentium 200 machine running Win95 and after considering my options, felt a USB Floppy Drive with some spare floppy disks would be the best route to get MiniGL from my current computer, over to my Pentium 200. My excitement was palpable when …

I installed a Diamond Monster 3d 4mb nto a Socket 7 mobo not too long ago. It runs the Tomb Raider demo, Descent 2, and some other demos that came with the driver disc that I have on hand. That being said, Quake 2 does not seem to recognize my card and I'm not exactly sure why. I select 3DFX OpenGL …

Also if anyone can recommend any specific hardware that would be compatible with a socket 7 mobo, I'd appreciate it. There's a ton of options out there, sometimes things can be a little vague on the sellers side. Thanks.

I hadn't heard of any kind of PCI USB card. I got 1 free PCI slot that I could try to use, I just worry it might be a bit of a headache to get to work properly. I had a hell of a time just getting the voodoo card to properly recognize. I'll look into it though. Maybe that'd be the easiest route. …
