See my sig for the W98 setup - V2's sli (Creative 3D Blaster 12mb), using latest ref. drivers. 3dfx dos driver (glide2X.ovl) is in windows directory, used D2_3dfx8 & D2_3dfx106b patches and running dos in a window. Closest I've been able to get is the green disclaimer message, after that black screen nothingness. Tried also booting into dos mode same result.
Ideas on why I'm having problems:
850 mhz. P3 too fast? Have a slot 1 233mmx I can shove in there.
It's crap shoot on choosing the correct glide2x.ovl version - went from latest ref. to version 2.50 (latest is best for faster cpu's?)
Got conventional memory up to 597....is this enuff? Tried Phil's dos boot PIF with mem options, still no go.
Delete/add memory managers.
Refresh rates for cards & monitor are at 60hz., don't know if this has any effect.
Extensive autoexec./config. configurations, minimal experience with this but hey have to start somewhere.
Don't have my paths set up right. Typing path shows c:\windows, tried putting the glide driver in the game dir and typing path
manually but that did nothing.
Sorry for the mouthful but if you 3dfx gurus out there could lend some insight I'd be most grateful, thanks!
