Hello,
I am no expert in a lot of things but voodoo graphics is really obscure.
I recall having one voodoo 3500tv back in the days but never impressed me and got rid shortly.
Now I would like to know better this stuff.

Can you point me to the best combination of drivers for XP and a solid benchmark working on that OS?

Thanks

Actually I have problems even in make it work….
Using the drivers XP automatically installs all is ok.
Amigamerlin 3.0 won’t work (3dMark01 crash and so Wizmark)
SFFT the same as above.
Maybe because I have a non SSE2 system?
It is me not able to properly install the drivers?

There's no Direct3D HAL for Voodoo2 under XP.

Also Voodoos are far from obscure.

At least the 3000 for now runs ok.
Voodoo is obscure to me, as I do not know, that is why I asked for assistance.
Stating that you know and me not, is something that I already know.
Thank you for the help… (?)

I figured out myself, Amigamerlin 2.5SE are the best and most stable drivers for me under XP.

Did you try the patched Amigamerlin 3.1 ? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1NrgMpC7cIqdy … 8PtzuReCQ&pli=1 it should work for 2k and xp fine.
