Hey all,
so you know the drill: I recently bought a Voodoo 1 card off eBay, "untested, as is"... and of course it does not (really) work on first attempts.
The first thing I can tell is that passthrough and switching works, but in 3D mode it only outputs a screen full of about 20x20 rectangles in two colors (really, bright and dark variations of one color, which changes between different PCs/PCI ports/attempts).
In playing around with mojo.exe and log files, I see that the FBI memory is detected to be 4mb in size, which seems to me an indication that something is wrong there, right? The thing should have 1 TMU with 2mb and an FBI mem of 2mb, making for 4mb of memory overall, correct?
Does anyone have good tips what I should try to do/look for next?
I do think that one of the corner pins on the FBI chip ("Chuck"? I'm so new to all this...) is suspicious; it might not be firmy attached to the board. Would that cause behaviour like this? It seems like a good next step either way to re-solder it.
Either way, would be happy about resources like diagrams, an orientation for how mojo output/log files *should* look etc.
Best regards!
