So, Hi guys, I was making my arcade machine, but one day, I discovered that I was missing one of my coolest DOS game 😳, Tomb Raider 1!!!...

So I installed the GOG version, but, the installer didn't liiked windows 98 :s, so I installed it into another computer and I got the iso from TR1,...
Ok it installed well, and the the sound setup, oh, somehow, the sb 16 config wasn't working, I lost some time to know that it was working with the rest of the sound blaster configurations on it >.>...

Ok then I started tr1 and bam, no music and no 3DFX >.>...

I discovered that on that cd there were two patches, one called 3DFX and another called VOODOO, I tried first the 3DFX, but, there was no 3DFX logo and it was running in software mode 😠 , So, I tried the VOODOO one, and when I tried to run it, my computer reseted 😮...

So I tried to install that path from glidos where it replace some files like tomb.exe and add tombud.exe, also, the weird part, is that tombud actually works, but there's no 3DFX logo 😖...

Also, I'm trying to run it from a iso file, and even the music file is not played '-'...

Idk why tombraiderud is working but not tomb.exe, is there something that I'm missing? (plus, The folder has the glide2x.ovl and dll from voodoo3 10000 driver)

Sounds like a possible IRQ conflict. Check device manager for IRQ conflicts, or shared irqs; and try to disable whatever it is that's sharing IRqs (or try to change its irq if you need it. Try changing PCI cards to different slots if irqs still don't change).

If that doesn't work, run memtest to check for faulty ram. Could also be faulty power supply. If that's all fine then maybe Tomb Raider isn't finding enough memory (this can be very common on newer systems with lots of ram).

3DFX.exe is the Voodoo Graphics patch and Voodoo.exe is the Voodoo Rush patch. Only the Voodoo Rush patch works on Voodoo3, but it is recommended to play it in a DOS window under Windows98 to avoid the inventory crash. You machine should not freeze like that anyway, sounds like another problem tbh, not related to the graphics card.

The cd is into a virtual cd drive, also, with glidos patch, there was the unfinished maps exe, that guy with voodoo rush patch works, but, with original tomb doesn't 😖

Also, I disabled sound on tomb raider setup and still the same error, I wanted to test it on dos mode, but, I don't have a cd to burn it '-' also there is a virtual driver for dos, but I can't make it load the tr1 cd >.>
