Hey!I got a "new" PC from a friend and wanted to play some retro games.I installed win98 and the PC has a Voodoo 1 4MB card as well as a Matrox Millennium 2 4MB.
Now the problem is that in some games they don't allow you to choose which card you want to use and they actually use the primary display driver which is the Millennium one.That happens in games such as Fighting Force or Virtua Cop 2 stuff like that.Is there any way I can select between the Voodoo and Matrox card?

Note:All the games are using the Direct3D API.

3dcc (3D Control Center) - This is way more convenient and simple. It sits in the tray and lets you pick from Primary (the Millennium in your case), Secondary (voodoo), or PowerVR if you have that.
