Re: Hardware you wish you'd never bought.

Creative 3D Blasters Voodoo 2 SLI - all the 3DFX hoopla sucked me into buying these for a pretty penny. So far period correct games working with them have been hit or miss, Moto Racer 2 (miss!) most notably. Maybe a pair of Diamond Monsters would fare better I don't know but all the headaches have …

Moto Racer 2 crashing

Posted on 2018-05-07, 11:57

In Moto Racer 2 I can make thru the settings/setup race screens but when an actual race starts loading: In D3D the "load meter" goes all the way but then the game quits back to windows. In Glide the "load meter" will go part of the way then it freezes - I hit spacebar and it goes back to windows. …

https://s5.postimg.cc/ab2jhd6hv/K6-2_400_01.jpg Elan Vital! Man, ahh... how I loved those! :lol: I remember my friend building a kick-ass computer back in 2000 with that case. The twist to push power button was neat. I ended up with it years later, after he had painted it :neutral: (unfortunately …

Re: Conopus Pure 3D II problem

I know with my Creative V2's I was getting a weird "overlay" of vertical lines so just ditched the passover cable and plugged them directly into my monitor's vga port which cleared up the issue. So if yer main card has dvi hook up that's a option to try.

Best GF3 W98 drivers w/ DX8

Posted on 2018-04-30, 13:15

Currently using Nvidia 41.09 but keeps crashing in 3DMark99. Didn't write down error but it mentions something about DX and rendering. When I get home I'll try it again and note it this time but for now what driver version would be recommended? Actual model is Abit Siluro GF3 64mb Ti200.

buckeye, European Air War is happiest on a Win9x system. It and Red Baron 3D are the primary reasons I keep my old Win98SE systems going. While you can get it to run under XP with unofficial patches, nothing is guaranteed. Also, it uses 8-bit palletized textures and fog table, so you don't want to …

Resurrecting this post. Can anybody tell me how Jane's WWII Fighters runs on an XP system like mine? See my sig for specs, tried it on my stronger W98 sys but it was kind of buggy with the mouse not being able to select any thing in the options screens. Probably has something to do with my V2 SLI I …

Installing 3.20 last is important because installing the expansions will overwrite Quake2's EXE/DLLs with an older version (there is no checking there) and 3.20 is the final official patch which came after both expansions.. (also it's important to not use certain source ports that replace the …

Did you properly install the mission packs and the last "Point Release" patch for Quake 2 and the expansion packs? What is the "proper install"? I installed Quake2/Reckoning/Ground Zero in that order. I removed the Reckoning and patched Q2 to 3.20 then reinstalled Reckoning, seems OK so far. …

Playing Quake2 on my recent w98 build, another one of those games I never got to play when it first came out. It's fun but the Reckoning expansion keeps crashing on me at startup for some reason, but Ground Zero works fine.

European Air War and Glide don't play nice

System: P3 850/512ram/GF3/3DBlaster V2 SLI/W98SE DX8 latest 3DFX ref. drivers. EAW - patch 1.2 Weird the way this game works or doesn't. It refuses to run in glide, screen stays black and the game becomes unresponsive, however the V2's will run via D3D mode as well as the GF3. Anyone else come …

I've reuploaded the release again to restore XInput support (i restored that code only recently), it works using the include from the full DX SDK. Also i forgot to restore FluidSynth when i switched to gcc 5.1 (it was broken in the 95 version). If you downloaded before 04/19 and you need XInput …

cyclone3d, I wasn't aware of a place called Value Village in Huntsville, is it worth checking out? Been to a bunch of flea markets in NE Bama and have yet to find any bounty. Goodwill's about the same unless you're in need of keyboards and the like.
