On the forums there are a few nice threads about what games are voodoo1 only or glide games
and things like that, do you happen to know what DOS games don't run on a voodoo1 by default
as well as which don't run on voodoo2 (but can be made to run by environment variables and stuff)?
Do you have archimedean dynasty/schleichfahrt? Does it work completely fine on both cards?
Thanks!
Didn't we have a thread about this some time before?
If I am not mistaken the only game that absolutely requires a Voodoo 1 (and not a Voodoo 2) is Super EF2000.
Also Fatal Racing and some versions of Tomb Rider do not run on V2.
Any game (including Archimedean Dynasty) that uses glide2x.ovl (which can be swapped for Voodoo2 version) should work with V2. If glide is statically compiled in the main executable then it probably won't work.
I have never heard of a game that would require V2 but not work on V1 (maybe some later stuff that would require multitexturing or something like that? But most certainly would not be a DOS game).

Battle Arena Toshinden (with 3dfx patch) - statically linked voodoo calls. So - Voodoo 1 only.
Whiplash (3dfx patch) - the same issue, AFAIR.
Tomb Raider have 2 3dfx patches. One is the Voodoo 1 only.
Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries 3dfx edition - not 100% sure.
Doesn't v2-auto.inf take care of that?
I thought there was only one Glide game that ran on the original Voodoo Graphics that absolutely wouldn't work on any later Voodoo card no matter what you did to make it work. I can't remember the name now but it was mentioned in another thread recently. I'll have to see if I can dig it up.
Edit: Was it Dreams to Reality, maybe?

Yes, that's the one.
I think the others are all manageable but some require a lot of tooth pulling. I've not tried them all though so I can't say with certainty.

Work through glide2x.ovl, so - you are wrong.
Dreams to Reality works on Voodoo3 😀
I could never get that game work on a Voodoo 1. 🙁
Really? I played and finished that game about 2 years ago, on my Voodoo 1 rig, in DOS protected mode even. Played flawlessly.
F2bnp, you might check to make sure if you're using the most up to date glide drivers.
It's been a year or so since I last tried but it was a pain. I don't care all that much anyway, I never really liked the game, it's just something that drove me nuts for a weekend 😜
