my current os is win9x your tools reports that card as on your screen above from real v56k also, have to ask. is it possible to display memory mapped registers of 3dfx cards like pciinit, miscinit, draminit, strapinfo, vgainit? it would be very useful

previous post updated, take a look proposal. make reconition for a videocard by a bus number. in my case it reports about agp card. but agp bus has no.1, so it can't be agp, since it behind 0-2 pci-pci bridge

Yes, here it it and it just reported 2 x VSA 100 on my WMe system. SIV simply reports the alignment not the size so is correct. Given it says Alignment why how can you say the size is incorrect? i mean incomplete. when i know what config i set by straps, than saw strange numbers i was a bit …

now i'm on win98, do you have such version for that system? btw your memory mapping detection in bars is not correct (may be worth to specify size without alingment as device configured): gpio2 should toggle for sure, if fan is attached

No, I suspect it's your code that is wrong. My code can detect both VSA-100 of my Voodoo5 5500, but only one has I/O Access + Memory Access enabled. I have attached a test SIV that should report all 4 x VSA-100 on a real Voodoo5 6000. i don't get you. what 'my code' you're talking about? here is …

Thank you for the pointer, I will see what I can manage with my Voodoo 5 later today. All four VSA-100 show up on the PCI bus, but as it's not flagged as multi-function in the header HalGetBusData() does not report them, but you can read them directly. SIV does this and is reports @ 4 x VSA 100 + [ …

Most of the retro comunity needs only something like voodoo3 3500 with 32-bit, and larger textures and as add-in PCI card without 2D. It would be used only for Glide games anyway, for anything else, Direct3d power accelerator would be used. I would much more exciting with voodoo4 for PCI slot and …

64 mb per chip config is buggy. If i’ll find convenient way to switch memory configurations maybe i’ll implement such feature In future. No problem in 66mhz pci support if bc-66 bridge chip is used. This card already able to operate at such clock by isolating certain contacts.

It is pci because it too slow for d3d and later opengl and intended to be used in conjunction with another powerful accelerator. Thats why it has Vga in. What evidence you’re expecting, that card 2 days old and it not available for orders now.

@Anthony DOS 3dfx games came with a "driver" for the Voodoo1 (sometimes also rush and voodoo2) that "communicates" with the card directly. For example GTA 1 or the Glide Tomb Raider version. I dont know if you can "manipulate" any variables in these cases. just cheked both games, and either of them …
