Hello everyone!
I have a almost impossible task that I need help solving.
I am looking for the source code for the 3dnow patch for Quake 2 that AMD released back in 1998.
Here is the patch
https://www.moddb.com/games/quake-2/downloads … -minigl-updates
The reason I want the source code is that I have a custom faster quake2.exe that is compiled with VS2005, and I want to add 3dnow support.
You see. Me and my friends are hosting a tweaking competition. #Quake2ToTheMax. Tweak Quake2 and win a 3DFX Voodoo2 card.

People are going all in and tweaking Quake2. And we are getting a lot of really nice stuff for the game.
So I figured I also want to add 3dnow support to the newly compiled exe:s that has been subitted from the competition participants.
I have looked all over the web for the source code. It is nowhere to be found. I even contacted AMD. But as expected they werent interested in helping me.
So I guess that we need to find the right people who worked back at AMD in 1998 and simply ask if they might have the source code in their possesion.
Or we need to find a dude that knows someone, that nows someone and so on.
Anyone up for the task? Any clues?
