If copy pandy3.exe with pandy3.bat in folder game ,
run pandy3.exe or pandy3.bat , game not working
The easiest (only?) way - use good DX9 videocard and nGlide as the wrapper.
The trouble is - glide.dll and sst1init.dll are very old. And are working correctly with Voodoo1 only. Of course Voodoo3 isn't detected.
Is software version (pandy.exe) working?
Try to run 3dfx version (pandy3.exe) with the sst variables for Mechwarriors 2: 31st century combat:
set SST_GRXCLK=90
set SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4
set SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1
set SST_VOUT_CLKDEL=0x0
set SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2

Yes

Working only in Direct Draw , no Glide ((
Err, pandy3.exe is containing glide version only. So, if the game is working from pandy3.exe - this is the glide version.
The test method is - in-game pause menu (Esc). Glide version - black screen with the standard menu string.

Guardian of the Sacred Five Terabyte's of Gaming Goodness
Reinstalled Windows 98
With
pandy3.bat
set SST_GRXCLK=90
set SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4
set SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1
set SST_VOUT_CLKDEL=0x0
set SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2
pandy3.exe
If run pandy3.bat , back in Windows 98 ,
not working Pandemonium on Voodoo 3
did you install the non glide version then copy over pandy3.bat and pandy3.exe ?

Yes
And change in pandy3.bat
set SST_GRXCLK=90
set SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4
set SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6
set SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1

You can try to force it using Windows Enabler, if you think that might help.
Jorpho: The installer is using sst1init.dll from the cd to detect Voodoo card. So - this option will be active only for the real Voodoo1. You must copy the glide version manually (pandy3.exe -> pandy.exe, pandy3.bat -> pandemonium.bat).
Unfortunately, it looks like the glide 2.1.1 isn't working with anything except Voodoo1... 🙁

Enabler overrides any standard Windows dialog box settings and lets you select an option even if a program has otherwise already determined that the option should be greyed out. (Obviously this is not always a good idea.) I was thinking that maybe in addition from copying the files, the installer also toggles some setting hidden somewhere that is required to enable Glide support when that option is selected. Just a thought.

Glide 2.1.1 also works with the Voodoo2 using the variables above.
Glide 2.1.1 games:
Cybergladiators.
Mechwarriors 2: 31st Century Combat - OEM 3dfx version.
Outlaws (patch 1.1).
Pandemonium!
Pod (patch 2.100) (aka Pod 2.0).
Please try to test the others 4 games.
