I have those.

I see a lot of people on forums in 1999 and 2000 talking about a voodoo3 patch that was there back then.

I'm trying to make fifa 99 run on my Voodoo5 5500. Someone here said to try and use the voodoo3 patch.

I played Fifa 99 back then with both the Voodoo 2 and the Voodoo 3. I only used the patch I mentioned you.

I also used on my latest 3Dfx vintage build with Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and it works.

Did you try this: https://www.patches-scrolls.de/patch/1561/7/43206/download

There's also a registry update for FIFA '99 to recognize newer cards. Many EA games have the issue around this time period.

Scroll down the page for FIFA 99 https://www.zeus-software.com/downloads/nglide/compatibility

Thanks for the suggestions, I will try to see if anything works.

FIFA 99 1.1 patch (FIFA99PATCH.EXE, 1957 KiB) adds Voodoo3 to 3DDATA.DAT (and enable 800×600 with 1024×768 resolutions for Voodoo3, Voodoo2 and Banschee).

P.S. EA Sports games detect Voodoos through Vendor_ID/Device_ID. Try to add Voodoo5 data to the Voodoo3 record:
1) Add 1 to the value of the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\3D Data\Card21\Types" key. IIRC the default value is 2 so the new value will be 3.
2) Create the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\3D Data\Card21\Type<X>" node where <X> is the new value from 1). So the name will be "Type3".
3) Create DeviceID and VendorID DWORD keys in the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\3D Data\Card21\Type<X>" node. They values must be D_ID/V_ID for Voodoo5 (0x00000009 and 0x0000121a).
1) Change the value of "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\3D Data\Card21\Type1\DeviceID" key to 9 (0x00000009).
Then try 3DSETUP.EXE.
