First things first, my specs:
Mobo: SS7 board with a SIS530 chipset
CPU: k6-3+ 570Mhz
RAM: 256 Mb
Video card: Voodoo 3 2000 PCI running the 3Dfx 1.07 driver in Win98
OS: Win98 booting to pure DOS, with a variation on Phil’s config.sys and autoexec.bat
My problem is simple, I have no luck running anything Glide related in DOS, I simply do not understand what is going on. The screen switches to black, no 3Dfx logo or anything, the system just hangs. I have tried patching the games, trying different glide2x.ovls, running the K6-3 with 66mhz bus speed, but still I get nothing. And I am at my wits end. The card works flawlessly in Win98, no issues.
The games are: Screamer 2, Screamer Rally, Descent 2 (patched to 1.2), Carmageddon with patch and Tomb Raider. In Win98se Quake 1 & 2 plus Heretic 2 and Wing Commander Prophecy works.
I simply do not understand what is going on. What am I missing or not thinking about setting up? The computer just gives me a black screen and then it hangs. It reminds me of my Voodoo2 SLI setup on my P3 machine, where I actually think I gave up trying to make DOS Glide work.
I hope somebody can help, because I would really really love to have the DOS 3Dfx games working (the ones that work with the V3 at least).
