Hmm, I tried that particular version of the glide2x.ovl file, both in Windows and real mode DOS, but the game refuses to use my V2s and just runs in software mode instead. Verified that it works without the file in the TR folder so that's weird.

Yeah, I know. I'm just curious since my setup sometimes is a bit finicky, and since I don't understand why the regular 3DFX patch won't work at all (just for testing) since it's been reported to work with environment variables on the V2.

Somewhat related question, since I have two STB 12MB V2s on my 98 machine: When you load up TR, do you get a 3DFX logo at all now? And are you using the Rush or 3DFX patch on it, and real mode DOS or not? Mainly asking this because I can run the game just fine, but I do not get a 3DFX splash logo at …

I just got an S3 Virge GX/2 board and tried it out, and reported my results. To my own surprise, it performed quite similar to my GeForce FX 5500. Some tests showed that it was faster, while others reported the same speed. It also responded to the VGA boost differently, often being slower than my …

Not cheap but it's new. http://www.ebay.com/itm/3DFX-VOODOO1-VOODOO2-loop-cable-and-SLI-cable-/271626007732? I actually bought this exact one from that seller for my Voodoo 2 SLI setup. The passthrough cable has no problems and works exactly as it should. (the SLI ribbon looks aged though, compared …

I still haven't been able to figure out why the 3DFX splash logos are not appearing. Because not all glide games call the logo. This function (grSplash) is not automatical, it must be called by the game. To test the logo - use test16 from the glide2x/3x Diagnostic Kit . Thanks! OK, so it is indeed …

I still haven't been able to figure out why the 3DFX splash logos are not appearing. I have the dll files for them, and I've tried copying them to the game directory too but I just can't get those splashes to show. It would be nice to see them. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The only time I get …

Oh, and something I didn't mention. I know that Tomb Raider has a 3DFX logo appear right before the menu, but for some reason it doesn't appear when I'm using the real thing. Is this the work of emulators and there shouldn't be any splash logo? Nope, it's dependent on your driver pack. You need …

Yeah, I just tried the Redguard demo and those lines are not present, so that's nice. (though most of the conversations were muted for some reason) Laggy game on anything above 640x480 (with SLI), but beautiful. It also suffers the same problem Tomb Raider has from me having to reboot the system to …

Darn, I was actually planning on doing some video capture with mine too once I get a new system running that can actually do it. My AVermedia Game Broadcaster HD for example can't capture the V2 @ 800 x 600. SLI @ 1024 x 768 works fine however. And that's the card I was going to get. I really …

This effect is very visible on a CRT btw. I even wrote a pixel shader to replicate this filter effect, studied off my own Voodoo2 Actually, when I tested Quake2 demo, I didn't notice the lines on the HUD elements, but the 3D environment had it. (notably, the health icon looked perfectly normal as …

Alright, thanks for your responses. I'm not sure if I've noticed any blurring for vertical lines, but that's good to know. I've only noticed these horizontal lines having different colors / brightness. I had no idea these cards did that. I lack a CRT so I don't have a way to see what it would look …

So I just got a pair of Voodoo 2 cards off Ebay, two 12MB STB cards in SLI. I haven't been able to find out anything about this so I'm hoping someone here knows what's going on. The cards are great. They play the two games I've tried them with fine, except for this one thing. There's these …

Entered my info from my Dell Dimension 4100. Looks like I'm on the low end of fps for Doom and Quake. I blame the Nvidia GPU BIOS on this card. (GeForce FX 5500) I also find it weird that I'm the only person with a Pentium III running at 866MHz. Stock setting for it and I can't change it if I wanted …

Hi. So I have this odd issue with TR1 and the audio pack where the background songs play where they shouldn't. One instance is where the ambiance songs continue playing when the level completion screen appears, and at that point the song should have stopped playing. (same thing happens for cutscenes …

Yep, that did the trick. Absolutely no issues with them now. Thanks!

Yeah, they play fine in my media player. (Windows Media Player) When I play the game through DOSBox, the FMV's don't appear, but try to. I get a blank white screen that stays for a few split seconds, and closes, for each FMV.

Hi! I've got the same problem with the FMV's on my Windows 7 32bit system. My properties for it are the same as on the first post actually, and my issues are the same as Ryu_Battousai is having. Using DOSBox on Direct3D and VESA emulation. I tried switching the properties around to see if it would …
