Hopefully this at least puts a solid dent in the stupid "windows it's abandonware" defenses I see all too often on the internet :rolleyes: The discs do say "Do not make illegal copies of this disc", can't say you weren't warned. The safe way would be using the OEM's key sticker and making a recovery …

And your purpose here seems, to be show of of that gallery of yours, and using 2018 computer parts to play games from the 80`s and 90`s, that other people will have dedicated original systems for, not cheating with newer ones, and showing off no skill..

I stick with the last official 3dfx drivers and drop in the MesaFX GL dlls when I need them. I don't trust third-party drivers. Most of them just flip a few existing variables, sometimes unsolicited overclocking, and go "ya we are fast grafik !!! go to our web site". They also inexplicably disable …

There's also the potential for anisotropic filtering and FSAA/SSAA out on the crt effects when it's a 3d object. It's actually the kind of thing i wanted when I dreamed of a CRT emulator some 10 years ago.

In the US at least it was a purple CD with just a 'gravis experience' control mapper+driver. They connected to sound cards' midi ports yes.

Where to begin with boxed PowerVR stuff? PCX-1/PCX-2 (Apocalypse 3D series, Matrox M3D, NEC PC3DEngine series), the sole Neon250s, and then the many Kyro cards. for not-boxed stuff there's those older Compaq OEM Midas cards, and some unobtanium prototypes (ISA Midas, PowerVR SG, whatever between …

I don't think anything's better than Blender when it comes to free modeling progrems. Blender 2.4x will want a Geforce2 (or better) at least. Though there's also Wings3d that used to be suggested a long time ago but that makes messy meshes. Beware of suggestions of Milkshape 3D - that (like Bochs …

and here we go with the cult aspect i've mentioned... Rampage would probably only really compete with the Neon250 and Matrox G400 had it come out.

They were the first cards that weren't impractically slow, supported lots of blend functions and gamma control. It made the most logical sense to support them as they were both popular and did "The Right Thing" with regards to capabilities (many were looking for just bilinear filtering+fog+fast …

Rmemeber there's plenty of games that would support DX6/7 because of how ubiquitous the GF2MX and GF4MX cards were at one point in 2002-2005, the GF4MX being DX7 at best, and DX7 being pretty much a T&L+Cubemaps over DX6 (apart from the huge backend rework, this is a gross oversimplification) Early …
