Hello all!
I took my old 3dfx Voodoo 3 2000 out and booting it I noticed it has the very first 1.00.01-SD BIOS, so an SDRAM card.
So I was thinking about updating the bios because <insert reason here> so I headed to https://3dfxbios.cl-rahden.de/index.php?title=Voodoo3 and took the SDR-SDRAM 2.15.09 version (also tried others), with the Flashing tool 2.14 (also tried 2.17) and it basically fails miserably. In the following screenshot you can see the failed flash process. Flashing back the "save.rom" version 1.00.01-SD works perfectly fine, to electrically all is fine.
What puzzles me is that my "saved.rom" version 1.00.01-SD does not have the same md5 sum than version 1.00.01 SDR-SDRAM on the website...is there something I'm missing?
Searching a Nexgen Nx586 with FPU, PM me if you have one. I have some Athlon MP systems and cookies.
