3D analyzer:

The 3D Analyzer Tool was created and refined to overcome limitations
posed by modern 3D Games and other Applications on several current
mainstream 3D Cards.
Basic functionality will equip non-T&L cards with a software substitute.

Anybody ever hear of this?

Yeah I tried it in the past. Basically it allows you to disable calls for various TnL effects to attempt to get games working on a Voodoo card. I managed to get Rallisport Challenge and Colin McRae Rally 3 to run on my old Voodoo5 5500 AGP but they were crash-happy and missing LOTS of graphics (like most of the graphics!).

Nice concept though, however emulating TnL properly would make games horrendously slow!

Like I say it was a long while ago. I was running Win98 original edition (heavily patched but not Second Edition) with a Voodoo5 5500 AGP.

3DAnalyzer might have been improved greatly since then. Give it a go if you want!
