Re: Table Fog & 8-bit Paletted Textures

I just tested Need for Speed II Special Edition in Glide mode. This game originally only used software rendering, while Glide support was added in the Special Edition release. The Glide version has several extra effects when compared to software rendering, including the use of table fog: All …

Did you try moslo ? lol Looks like a neat little cube, did it get you worried whether everything would fit? No, I checked dimensions before buying; plus, this is this is the second time buying the case, so I had an idea of what I can stuff inside. The bigger issues were concerning this teeny, tiny, …

My specs are the ones on my second cpu-z verification sig. I have yet to see a fatal crash with this driver. It will also …

Re: DOS Glide 2.4x Mod for Voodoo2

Hiya guys. I have a Quantum3D 200SBi (Voodoo2 SLI on a single pcb) and apparently the card is hardwired to have SLI always ON. Some games like Screamer 2 3Dfx will constantly refuse to run unless I can set SST_SLIDETECT= to 0 (only on vanilla V2 cards). Others though, like Carma 3Dfx (with the …
