I wanted to run the mojo.exe utility that I've seen mentioned in various videos related to Voodoo 2, where can I download it?

Any problems when using them apart from each other? Try running the Donut Demo for some time. Do you have proper air flow? They tend to get quite hot. They work fine separately as far as I can tell, but I haven't run extensive tests, just haven't been able to reproduce the problem in the games that …
Problems with Voodoo2 in SLI
Posted on 2024-03-27, 16:07
I finally have two CT6670 Creative Labs 3dfx Voodoo 2 cards. I have them in SLI and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't work, I get the following error: "RUNDLL32 caused an invalid page fault in module 3DFXV2PS.DLL" I've tried cleaning the contacts and reseating the cards, same …
Re: Voodoo 2 compatibility and trustworthiness
Posted on 2023-09-30, 15:47
It depends. While I never bought the only Voodoo2 card that I have as "for parts only", there are chances that it works, and the previous owner never had a way to test it. Except when there are descriptions saying that it died or have artifacts. Regarding SLI, it is recommended to be the exact same …
Voodoo 2 compatibility and trustworthiness
Posted on 2023-09-30, 13:00
Are most Voodoo 2 cards on eBay defective, even the ones that are listed as working? It seems that some sell cards that are listed as "for parts only" for 280 USD. While allegedly working cards, might sell for 170 USD. This leads me to believe that perhaps those that are listed as working are in …

Daemon tools 3.47 not working
Posted on 2023-09-20, 18:48
PhilsComputerLab suggests using 3.47: https://www.philscomputerlab.com/daemon-tools-windows-98.html With 3.47 I get this in a popup when Windows starts: "C:\WINDOWS\daemon.dll error!" With 3.17, it works, but 3.17 has less functionality and I'd really like to use 3.47. I've tried running instmsia. …
General MIDI daughterboard on an AWE32 not working
Posted on 2023-08-22, 00:20
I have an AWE32 (CT3900) with a NEC XR385 MIDI daughterboard (DB60XG Rev. B). General MIDI used to work, but now I get no audio at all. Maybe I have the wrong port address? How do I figure out what port address the general MIDI has? This should be separate from the AWE32's port I/O, right?
Re: Connecting two computers to one pair of speakers.
Posted on 2023-08-11, 20:35
I got a Behringer MICROMIX MX400. It works, but I find that the AWE32 is very muted, still. I have to turn the amplification way up on the channel the AWE32 is connected to. My Windows 98 machine (Sblive!) doesn't have this issue. Perhaps the AWE32 has some old capacitors in need of replacement, or …
Connecting two computers to one pair of speakers.
Posted on 2023-08-05, 18:05
I have two computers with audio cards, these are regular PCI audio cards, one for a DOS era computer, one for a Windows 98 era computer. I'd like to connect both of them to the same pair of speakers. Everything is 3.5 mm TRS. I've tried with a passive "dumb" mixer (which isn't really a mixer) that …
Re: Quake 1 bots
Posted on 2023-07-13, 21:03
Man I haven't heard about Reaper bots in a long time. I remember playing them when I was on dial-up and could only be on the internet at certain times of the day. I still have my old Quake installation: 1996 timestamp on some of those files, wow! I envy you for having correct timestamps from way …
Re: Quake 1 bots
Posted on 2023-07-13, 16:37
Doesn't the recent-ish Quake remaster have bots? How do they compare to the third party bots? The thing I didn't like about the Quake third party bots was that there was no in-game menu for adding/removing/modifying bots and their behaviour. It wasn't a total loss, as you could bind the bot options …
Quake cd audio not working
Posted on 2023-07-12, 19:44
Just when I thought I finally had everything working with Quake (which has taken ... weeks?) and was about to play, I discovered that the CD play (redbook audio) feature doesn't work. I'm on Windows 98 SE, Quake 1.08 on an Athlon XP1600 with 1 GB of RAM, I'm running software rendering (this is the …

Been a while but reaper bots come to mind, dude who made them went on to make the bots for Unreal Tournament. IIRC there is also a version for Quake II as well. Yeah as I mentioned, the Reaper bot was a breakthrough, and Steven Polge went indeed on to write the bots for UT as well. The Reaper bot …
Quake 1 bots
Posted on 2023-07-12, 15:20
This topic maybe doesn't quite fit here, as it is more about a recommendation than something that's outright broken, forgive me. What is the best bot for Quake? Obviously this is an opinionated matter, I'm just curious if there's anything better than the Omicron bot. I remember the Reaper bot was …
Re: Quake 1.08 stuttering on Athlon XP1600 Windows 98

The DOS version runs, the visual stutter is gone, but now the audio stutters! Try adding this into CONFIG.CFG (the underline must be included): _snd_mixahead "0.2" This would ensure that enough samples are mixed ahead of the time. I don't have the "winquake" executable, am I supposed to have that? …

Excellent advice. Unfortunately, it didn't work. Interesting. I remember having similar (but not exactly the same) visual glitches on my AthlonXP system, and those settings resolved them for me. Not sure if it will make any difference, but try using this instead: vid_wait "2" It uses a slightly …

Try QIP Quake , it has improvements, and the DOS version is faithful to the original one. Should work with the data files from version 1.08. The DOS version runs, the visual stutter is gone, but now the audio stutters! The WIN version doesn't run: It requires WDIRXX.DLL, I got this by downloading …

I would try glquake, but I'm not sure what I should use. Considering that I have version 1.08, I don't know if any of these would work. https://github.com/Jason2Brownlee/QuakeOfficialArchive
