Hi, I'm having trouble to get Ignition working with the 3dfx patch in Windows 95 OSR2.5 , also Carmageddon 2 gives the same error message (picture below) Any clue what could cause this? I couldn't find an solution with quick Googlin.

Not going to comment on the multiplayer situation, just wanted to say that is a really nice board you have. However, it falls in the category I mentioned above, the 430TX chipset can only cache up to 64MB RAM. More RAM will work but it will be slower. I suggest removing some RAM to get better …

So summing everything up, my best chance to utilize sidewinder and have glide acceleration is to try the sidewinder dos drivers Pierre32 mentioned. However I still have another problem with the DOS glide executable, for some reason it does not pick up the precense of IPX protocol (all other dos …

The Voodoo card doesn't use Direct X, but rather it's own Glide API. If I recall correctly you have to load the special 3dfx version executable to play the 3fdx version. I can't find a 3dfx patch/executable for win anywhere, googled several hours :( Forget Windows, run the DOS version :) In my copy …

So there is no way to run 3d acceleration and use sidewinder gamepad ? I don't know; you probably need to install the Sidewinder software so you can program the buttons (for Windows). However, if you can get ahold of the 2004 version (which you can find in Archive.org), you can use the Sidewinder …
