Hey people I am trying a mod trick to get "Half life" to use the voodoo2 card.
(I have moved this post from the Windows forum because it only focuses on more for Windows games on modern systems

It's a trick I found on this forum.

It's something like you have into your Windows/system directory and copy the "3dfxVGL.dll" and rename it too "Opengl32.dll" and I need to know what directory I need to put it in.

As I said in your other thread:

😕

Just put it in the same directory as your hl.exe (or whatever it is called).

Also, you copied your link incorrectly.

The thread linked contains crap advice and should not be advised.
NEVER EVER REPLACE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\OPENGL32.DLL
Microsoft made System File Protection a feature in Windows ME for a reason

That's his signature. It appears automatically beneath each of his posts. You will find similar things on forums all over the Internet.
