I tried dgVoodoo 1.40 to play Carmageddon 1 on XP with VDMSound to get better graphics. It runs great in menus but every time when I start a new game after choosing race position, just before game renders 3D world, screen turns black and nothing happens. I tried pressing Esc, alt+tab, alt+ctrl+del but nothing helps. I can only hit Power/Reset on my PC:(
Then I tried dgVoodoo 1.50beta but this doesnt help too.

Maybe someone on this forum can tell me what dgVoodoo's configuration is the best for Carmageddon1?

My PC specs:
Windows XP
AMD Athlon XP 2600+
512 MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9700

Help please

Try with Zeckensack's Glide Wrapper instead:

It's a DOS game. Zeckensack's Glide Wrapper doesn't support DOS games.

Are you playing in VDD or server mode? Server mode is recommended for Radeon cards.

Don't use the Voodoo2 patch if you're running it with DGVoodoo or it will stop responding when starting a new race. Use the previous 3dfx patch instead.

Yeah, I was thinking about Carmageddon II.

Which doesn't really need a glide wrapper but IMO looks better when using one.

I'm having a small issue with Carmageddon 1 3dfx when I choose the cockpit view. The cockpit itself appears in front of the pilot's face and if there is fog in a race, then fog is all you can see. No issues with chase view. And also, cars in the damage gallery are invisible.
