Re: Tomb Raider 1 - Voodoo 2

Today I brought home a bunch of old hardware that was occupying space at work, one was an old Dell Optiplex GXa desktop that I had for years collecting dust, and I noticed a black pass-through VGA cable on the back. It had a Diamond Monster 3D II inside! I tested it in the same computer that …

An annoying update: I picked up my old and faithful P3 1Ghz running on a decrepit Matsonic MS7157C (all fan headers are dead, no fan running on the CPU), inserted it in a tower, added 2x256MB SDRAM, network/USB2 cards (no sound card at hand) and a 40GB HDD, installed Windows 98SE + Windows XP on …

Ok, I tried a few more things: - restored Windows 98SE without graphic drivers and installed v1.07.00 - renamed AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS to confirm if some line in them was the cause - disabled L2 cache in the BIOS - changed AGP to 4x, 2x and 1x in the BIOS - tried on another desktop which also …

I think I tried from 1.03.00 to 1.07.00, but I'll check again tonight. I have a clean backup of Windows 98SE folder without the graphic card installed just for these kind of problems. I'll also have to see where I can find different versions of the .OVL file in case that's the problem, but I don't …

I was not sure if I should open a new topic or post on this one, but since the search led me here, it might do the same to others too. My case is very similar to the 1st post, except for the hardware that in my case is a Voodoo 3 2000 AGP. I'm using GOG's Tomb Raider, followed Phil's instructions to …

That's some of the reasons why I'm leaning towards an FX 5xxx: better support for previous DX versions and older / more stable drivers (geforce 6200 starts at 77.72), plus fog and 8-bit textures as mentioned in this topic: https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?p=684508 I have an FX 5200 but …

I only mentioned AGP 8x because my board only accepts cards with 1.5v. I know the 5500 is basically a (very slightly) faster 5200, but comes in 128bit unlike 5200 which can be 64 or 128bit, most people don't even know what that is, and is easier to find for sale when compared to faster cards. I …

(Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but since it's on the same subject, it's easier to keep it all under the same topic) I currently have a Geforce 6200 AGP 8x 256MB in my Windows 98 machine (WIP) with a 3.2ghz Prescott (great for those cold winter nights!), but a very cheap deal appeared …
