I finally finished my PIII W98 PC to play 1995-2000 w9x games.
My first trial was TIE Fighter Collectors CD but I have some problems. After some fiddling with tids and bits, I managed to install it and even make it started. The "analyze your PC" applet shows everything as "PASSED". Joystick probably works (MS Sidewinder Precision Pro), music and sound looks ok. But when I tried to setup the game by selecting "SD Hardware", I ended up with a fully white screen and system crashed apparently.
My main display adapter is Nvidia FX5200 (driver version 52.xx installed). I also have Voodoo2 in SLI mod. I chosen "primary display adapter" before starting the game as the 3D hardware.
Anyone can give me some advice about which display cards this game is compatible with? My low end cards are Voodoo3 (AGP), Matrox G200 (AGP), Matrox Millenium I/II (PCI), Nvidia Riva 128 (PCI), and a selection of PCI S3 boards.
Do you think a Geforce 4 or 2 MX would be a better choice (asking, since they are widely and cheaply available)?
I search thru the net, but cannot find much (all the stuff I found is making it work under Windows 7 and XP). And I could not find anything in vogons also.
