Hi there,

I'm trying to get Carmageddon working in real DOS mode with my Voodoo 3 3000 AGP using the Glide API.

I'm using "voodo2c.exe" to launch the game.
I was getting a message indicating that my Voodoo card was not detected. So, I copied over the glide2x.dll and glide2x.ovl files from the 3dfx Voodoo3 V1.07.00 driver package. With them, I'm getting a black screen in pure DOS mode. Interestingly enough, the game works in Windows 98.

What am I missing here to make it work in DOS? Do I have to initialize the card somehow?

Thanks!

Happy to report that it works now. I'm using a the glide2x.ovl from a previous driver package (1.03).

For DOS games always try the Voodoo Banshee patches when available.
