Damn it, by disabling texture mapping the problem isn't present anymore. Messed up tmus?

My worries have been confirmed, it's not the vga connector, continuity is perfect, traces are perfect and the cables are new, unless the voodoo 1 needed some special cable i don't understand what is the cause for this issue.

Ok I did multiple tests, the card works with all kind of options enabled and it's fast, the pink color is the only problem, it doesn't go away. Any idea? I was thinking that maybe the VGA connector lost connection on some pin because the problem is present even when I connect the VGA cable directly …

On to the next mystery. Pink screen. For some reason all games etc. Have this color, otherwise the card works perfectly now.

I'm slowly removing more and more lines and also re enabling tmus, ram etc. Everything seems to work but textures look kinda pink.

Well, after setting my autoexec like in the picture I got this https://streamable.com/up1561 I guess it's not totally broken after all

Well if it is a driver problem then you should still be able to run tomb3dem from DOS. Going from Voodoo 2 to Voodoo 1 on my win98se test install required doing this: Uninstalling the Voodoo 2 driver, manually clearing all files in the Windows directory that match the files in the V2 driver folder, …

Even without loop cable I get a black screen, it's really weird because the card gets warm just right. Just to make things clear a voodoo 2 was previously installed in the system, is it possible that dos still has some entries that conflict with the voodoo 1?

I took a glance at the card, it seems like it was missing 3 caps near the ram, I took equivalent ones with a higher voltage and put them in place. Still the same issue, still only 2 megs perceived.

Nope, even with the ovl in I get a black screen.

Looks pretty weird, 2mb? Also the software part should be there.

This is no good. It should show 3dfx spinning logo and load the game demo. I just tested one Monster 3D and works fine on LCD too. There was a thread on Vogons about troubleshooting with logging. For now i will try to reflash the card, God knows what crazy ass solutions i found over the years here …

I wanted to move my voodoo 2 to the P2 for a sli setup so I decided to swap the one in the MMX system for a voodoo 1. It's recognized, driver installed (latest ones) it warms up and the picture is shown through the loop cable going to my matrox. Only problem? Games don't initialize the card or don't …
