Might be a driver issue? What kind of drivers are you using on XP? IIRC I have tested my own Voodoo 3 3000 PCI under XP with the AmigaSport (I think, will check later) drivers.

You could try with those and/or the AmigaMerlin and SFFT drivers and see if the situation improves 😀

Thanks for the message 😀 Don't you think it's strange though that the Voodoo was causing the artefacts during setup? i.e. even the generic windows drivers which have literally had no issue with *any* GFX card I've ever had were having issues?

Is what you're suggesting I should try is to install the drivers you've suggested under the Rage Pro in the XP environment, re-insert the Voodoo 3 and reboot? I don't feel like that's got much likelihood of success but of course I'm willing to try it...

Again, so weird it works fine in Win 98 and not XP - it's not like the Voodoo 3 was particularly old news by the time XP launched and - as you say - it works fine on your machine...

TIA.

Me again, so those Amigasport drivers worked - thanks! even got the ISA SB 16 recognised and installed, result.

I have a new (related) issue. Performance in Doom 2 (GoG version) is horrendous, like watching a slideshow. That can't be right - specs above have miles enough grunt to run it. Same issue with ScummVM. The GUI where you add/launch games is unusable, the cursor jerks about and it's almost impossible to launch stuff. When I did launch Monkey Island 2 I have the same cursor issues.

Is there something else I needed to have installed and forgot about or something? Glide should be in the Amigasport drivers, and DirectX is included in XP.

Apols if I'm missing something obvious, it's been a long time since I've played around with this hardware/software 😀 Thx

PS On another note I finally acquired a genuine Roland MT-32 this week and tried it out with games in ScummVM on my Win10 machine in prep for using with the Optiplex build when I've finally got it working well - amazing 😀))))

The whole situation is a bit weird. You shouldn´t be having corrupt/garbled image on first boot (no video driver installed)...just a basic "default video adapter" kind of image.

About the slideshow performance, you did install motherboard´s chipset dirver, didn´t you? You shouldn´t be having such a bad performance due to having not installed the chipset driver though...but just in case...

Hi, I agree and thanks. However, have managed to sort the 'corrupted' issue as per my post above.

I didn't install my chipset drivers for the Win98 install in which the Voodoo works great. there's an Opengl tweak for the Amigasport drivers which will be my next port of call; after which I'll remove the Voodoo 3 from the XP setup and see how the onboard Rage Pro fares.

In the interim, does anybody else have any ideas - or is there an alternative XP driver to the Amigasport 3.0? Another poster mentioned AmigaMerlin/SFFT but these seem focused on higher end Voodoos than mine. Would they still work?

Cheers!

My Voodoo 3 3000 PCI is working fine under XP with driver version 5.14.0069.001 12/6/2011 - Probably it's the latest SFFT version, I don't remember exactly what driver I've used.

Could you kindly upload the driver package?

This is the driver stored on my Win 2K partition.

Thank you very much. I believe this driver is version 5.00.2195.0232, also released here: https://archive.org/details/voodoo33500driverswin2k
