If I had Windows 98, a Voodoo5 and a Voodoo1, is there any way to get a Windows glide game to run using the V1?

Does it mean setting up a couple of Windows hardware profiles?

I seem to remember a simpler solution being described, but I can't find the post now. Something about dropping different glide files into the windows system folder?

store the glide file (forgotten what its called will call it glide2x.dll for now)for the v5 in a folder called glide5
store glide file for v1 in a folder called glide1

create a batch file lets called it gswap.bat
del c:\windows\glide2x.dll
copy c:\glide1\glide2x.dll c:\windows\system
game (= name of game that needs a voodoo1)
del c:\windows\glide2x.dll
copy c:\glide5\glide2x.dll c:\windows\system

put gswap.bat in the game folder create a shortcut to it and run the game with it.

no doubt someone else will come along and correct any mistakes ive made

edit: just realised you can probably put glide2x.dll from the voodoo1 drivers in the folder of any games that you want to run on a v1
