On pouet.net there is no way to sort demos by 3dfx voodoo2 support. Anyone is aware of a list of demoscene supporting the 3dfx voodoo2 and gus or awe32 on msdos or win32?

I gave Zeus (nGlide) and Dege (dgVoodoo2) a small list of my research, you can find them all here IIRC (pretty sure it's all of them): http://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide/compatibility

I agree that pouet.net could use a better way to find these 😀

Demozoo has a Glide tag you can search by but only a few things are tagged with it. I know there are more out there; feel free to add them if you find 'em.

Edit: I just tagged one more that I knew about.

Cool, feel free to tag:
Codename Chinadoll, Flying - falling with style, Scorpion, To Be Continued..., Trip, and Žertva - they've all been tested by nGlide and dgVoodoo2 so they're confirmed using Glide. Also shortcut, Nature and Dimension.

see: Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11
Re: dgVoodoo 2 for DirectX 11
for my notes and Dege's comments.

(in the nGlide list I linked above, SceneTest isn't really a demoscene demo. More like a tech demo not made by 3dfx: http://www.mcmanis.com/chuck/graphics/index.html . It's just the test of a 3D engine.)

There is also this list, though it seems to primarily be commercial 3dfx demos rather than scene ones.

It'd be great if we could compile some list like the 3D APIs, something like
name/dos-windows-both/intended for V1-V2-x/runs on...

I know, don't tell me "do it then", I'm not asking for anything 😉 Just throwing the idea in case someone has the time/interest to pull this off.

btw, "1st Demo II". Inspired 🤣

That would be great, if the list covered all the 3D APIs and whether they had demoscene demos, not just 3dfx Glide.

I once found a demo for Creative CGL 3D API, it seems quite rare.

Thanks for the effort guys! I never thought to look for demo's that focused on Voodoo. I have one rig that I built primarily for demoscene stuff, and now I'm gonna have to cram more video cards in it.

DOS demoscene or Windows?

I tagged some of the easy demos you wrote earlier but didn't have time to sort out the ones that are duplicate names, not listed, multiple versions, etc. I'll see what I can do a little later on.

I wonder if the guys from demozoo thought about collaborating with pouet.net as the site is rather incomplete and misses a lot of demos.

What is the goal? Finding Demos with native Glide-API or Demos that work with a 3dfx-card perhaps in OGL or D3D ?
I posted an archive of Voodoo3 friendly demos here at vogons. Re: My main Retro-PC

Sorry if it's a daft question, but what is demoscene?

See my graphics card database at www.gpuzoo.com
Constantly being worked on. Feel free to message me with any corrections or details of cards you would like me to research and add.
