Can't seem to get gtafx (installed from the retail disc) running on my Voodoo3 2000, the graphics are just weird frozen static lines on parts of my monitor. Are there any settings I should change?

Check this for jumper settings http://www.bcmcom.com/tech/VP1543/VP1543jumpers.htm - you'll want 5.5 x 100MHz at 2.3V followed the instructions to the letter. Happy to say that, after completely removing the "off" jumpers like an idiot, causing a very long beep, and instead simply moving them to …

Just swapped the K6-2 450 (heatsink is stuck on but good so i'm not sure if it's AFX, AGX, or AHX.) this had in it out with a K6-2 550AGR. To my surprise it's, still reading as a k6-2 450. Not sure why this is, anybody want to lend a helping hand? System Specs are: OS: Windows 98 SE Board: VOS …

I think there are work arounds for some, Tomb Raider can use the banshee patch to run a voodoo 3 card, and Carmageddon works too. That said, this one might just no be possible.

Seem to have finally found a permanent fix for this from the 3dfx game support google group. Not only has it ended the crashing, it's also made it so the dashboard cam actually works. Thank you all for working with me on this. EDIT: I'd be careful surfing it though, everything past a certain date is …

The strangest thing is that the sound is continuing, including the sirens (looping as they should) I just can't exit the game. ctrl-alt-del doesn't work either.

Interesting! I'll have to give that a shot, come to think of it I had to use a rush/banshee patch for tomb raider to get my V3 to work before too. Thinking of buying a 486 fan to plop onto it too.

Found the problem, on disc instructions only instructs you to copy two files, when you also have to copy the third one. did that and no crashes. file is 3ddata.exe EDIT: Though this does fix graphical issues, the Cockppit hud is still invisible and I did suffer a random hang while crashing the car …

Okay so it works as Direct3d Device 1 without the patch, but with the patch specifically meant for a voodoo 3 card it screws up. Odd.
