It appears to be the original version Nope, it's the 1999 EA Classics re-release. Oddly the re-release version has no IPX support and has troubles with XP out of the box whereas the original 1996 Virgin release has no issues in XP. I'm speaking from the Win32 executables of course. The re-release's …

No 64bit executable??!! FAIL Yeah that ticked me off when Crysis came out. I hate it when developers don't want to support the REAL next generation of hardware suitable for their so-called nextgen games. Gotta limit to the 32-bit platform only for slowness = more profit for their graphics card …

i'll probably need to scrap up a decent direct3d gl wrapper too for the games the powervr extreme minigl dll can't reach like Quake3. AltoGL sort of worked, but it had serious texture management issues (and doesn't subsitute blend modes like the sgl minigl). GLDirect doesn't work with the card.

Anyone else had this? I retired this card in 1998 because it couldn't blend any more than a funky 4-bit alpha blend, and bad driver support. It also has no support for Win2K/XP. Latest drivers I could find are from early 98, and tracking down pvr_half.zip on google is impossible

EF2000 won't work. Not unless somebody writes a complete voodoo hardware emulation. i'd love to see that. Slow and hard to do but someone's got to preserve the bad voodoo rendering habits of line dithering and blurry hardware mipmapping before the mists of time kill all the voodoo cards on the …
