Gamecollector in that thread says running on real Voodoo2 hardware had similar bugs and will post video later. I'm starting to wonder if Zertva EVER ran correctly.

So steps: 1. You back up an FTP site as a giant ZIP or Tar or whatever 2. You submit to Internet Archive with some metadata (where, when) 3. They host, you walk away and do the next one. 4. You join ArchiveTeam and collaborate with other nerds who want to help each other do this. :) PS. http:// …
