Hi everyone. Sorry for my english 😊 . I have problem with my Voodoo 2(A-Trend - Helios 3D 2). Video. Tested on PCs from pentium 1 to pentium 4 with any available drivers, same problem 🙁 A have another Voodoo 2(PowerColor EvilKing II and its dead) and I can take some elements from it. Someone knows what might be causing this glitch?

P.S.
Setting environments SSTV2_TMU_MEMSIZE, SSTV2_NUM_TMUS, SSTV2_GRXCLK and SSTV2_FBI_MEMSIZE has not effect.

Check ALL the legs on the 3dfx chips and see that none of them are touching each other. If they are all fine i guess the memory of the card is damaged and nothing can be done. Try underclocking the card, if that works the memory can probably not handle the full speed anymore and you know what the cause is.

Maybe try a heatgun for a quick resolder (could be a loose connection somewhere)

All legs on chips are fine, underclocking does nothing. 🙁 But if I reduce the gamma (SSTV2_GAMMA) , amount of the wrong(purple) color becomes less. I think, it's somewhere in the output signal..
