Ok made all Dos Glide games which i wanted (im not playing simulators and jet simulators) work at V3+i865+Core2 some notes how to:
Blood - needs settting 640x480 and V2 bath Build variables (these for V2 are fine for V3), other its not working, realmode (Himem only, no EMS driver loaded) is needed. 64 MB RAM neeeded. This is only game on list which needs some glide variables fiddling. Realmode also means no sound unless you have sound drivers which not need EMS..
Redguard (demo) - working with load V3 driver -107
Q2DOS - working with H3 + H5 + mesa drivers, there are part of Q2DOS project. Realmode.
Q1DOS with working with H5 + mesa drivers, there are part of Q1DOS project. Realmode.
Screamer II - working with driver 104. Realmode.
Carmageddon - working with last V3 driver -107 in realmode, i have to set no no sound. Realmode.
Screamer Rally - working with driver 104. Realmode.
Descent II - it needs realmode, d2(_)fx patch is working.
Is game is running in small windown after patch press "+" full view. If you have very small view distance in glide mode, you have to run games with -noLowMemParamete parameter. There are also parameters for nosound and nomusic for testing.
Hexen2Dos (Hammer of Thyrion, demo is available) - working fine in realmode, you have to copy driver from project folders..
Lands of Lore II - its working in EMS mode (sound card is mandatory..) with SB IRQ7, i triead all Vooodo 3 drivers, all are working, but all have some display artifacts problem.
Here i have problems, i most of the game start but not everytime and im same setting and boot session i have i picture some glitches.. Maybe they could be mitigated by some glide variable or other fix..

LoL2 glitch:

Hello,
Does a compatibility matrix exist for the Voodoo Banshee as well, or does it offer the exact same as a Voodoo 2?
I've skimmed the forum, and at times I've read conflicting information on that topic.

A few posts claiming equal compatibility:

Which Voodoo card to buy?

If it works on the voodoo 2 it works on the banshee.

Voodoo Banshee vs Voodoo II

Banshee is a voodoo 2 minus a texturing unit, but with 100mhz gpu and memory, so it's early glide compatibility is same as the voodoo 2.

At least one post is putting it into question: (it's based on Blood though, so it might just be a misunderstanding in this case)

3Dfx Banshee - Capable of running like V1 (like V2 can)?

I couldn't get Blood to work on Banshee ages ago so I doubt it. Treat it as a prototypical Voodoo3 than a Voodoo Graphics redux.

If Banshee were the miracle card, we'd all be using one by now.

Also, is there a thread or some other resource dealing with win9x early glide compatibility as well? I know it's offtopic, but I've read in here that Uprising: Join or Die is potentially one such case that will only work with the Voodoo 1.

In my experience & that's from back in the 90s I'd also say Banshee is more like a V3 in terms of compatibility but I can't give proven facts.

No Pyl on the list means it doesn't work? as it looks to match your gaming preferences?
BTW anyone knows if it works with Voodoo 4/5?

Not tested, i wasnt game which i knew and want to test.

it's like quake2 but way more realistic

I found on Youtube this and it looks more like Alien Breed on console..

Which language is Pyl in? Polish only?

english too
Pył, Pyl, Dust English language version

Oh nice! Thanks for answering!

Use this common sense for DOS Glide games compatibility.
- If the game uses GLIDE2X.OVL and your Voodoo-whatever card has its own GLIDE2X.OVL, then the likelihood for the game to work is very high, provided the game is conformant to Glide 2.4 programming guidelines. You need to use the GLIDE2X.OVL from the card, not the one from the game, if one is included. Usually, the one from the game would be the Voodoo1 version.
- If the game is static linked, then almost certainly that it would be linked with Voodoo1 version of GLIDE2X.OVL because back then the timeline of such games was Voodoo1. You will need environment vars to emulate a Voodoo1. Not every Voodoo-whatever card has one, and it does not always work. Most people knew Voodoo2 has one, but whether that would work for Banshee/V3/V4/V5 is still a mystery.
- Sometimes, you may only get GLIDE2X.OVL from 3Dfx reference drivers package, not from the official OEM drivers for the Voodoo-whatever card you own. In that case, it depends the OEM had copied exactly the 3Dfx reference design for their products. Otherwise, the reference driver GLIDE2X.OVL may not work or have stability issues on non-reference designs.

there is more static link games (listead here as dynamic its right but they have also static version)

3dfx dos demos

I never could get Tomb Raider 1 working on any of my Voodoo2 cards, no matter what driver I used or variables I set. The game would simply not use the 3dfx card. Period.

So, today I pulled the plug and spent way too much money to get a Diamond Monster 3D 4MB version of a Voodoo1. Should be here in a few weeks and then we'll see how Tomb Raider runs then.

I tested tomb raider quite a while to get it working with voodoo 2 card. Basically in the end I managed to make it work on my pentium 3 system.
From http://falconfly.vogonswiki.com/voodoo2.html I downloaded driver version win9x V3.03.00 and I copied glide2x.ovl file from the driver to the tomb raider installation directly. All the other glide2x.ovl file version from other driver packages on that web site were too speed sensitive that my voodoo 2 would not be detected by them in pentium 3 system. You didn't mention what system you tried tomb raider and voodoo 2 in, so I can't say for sure if the the same speed sensitivity was the issue. I didn't use any variables, it was just matter of if voodoo 2 was detected or not because of speed of the system.
Any slow down software like throttle did not help with voodoo 2 detection.

Tomb Raider will only work in regular software rendering on all of these systems. The test card for the Windows 95 system (#3 above) was the Diamond Monster 3D II Voodoo2 card from System #2). Never could get Tomb Raider to work properly with the Voodoo2 cards, so now a more age-appropriate Voodoo1 card is going into System #3. I mean, at 200MHz processor speeds and with the 16MHz bandwidth limit on the 64MB EDO RAM, it's never going to be able to utilize the power of the Voodoo2 anyway. And the system is .... well, I built it because I had the CPU and MB and I've obtained over the last two years all the other parts necessary to make it work and I had a fully licensed copy of Windows 95 lying around not being used. The Voodoo card is the last piece of the puzzle to make it a DOS/Win95 gaming system. It's fast enough to run 1997-and-earlier games and nicely covers the era where 3D games were just starting to come out - the earliest 3D graphics games.

System #2 was handed to me because I was looking for a case for System #3 to go into. I have since been given a better case anyway, so that system just needed a Voodoo2 card to really open it up to gaming.

This might be stupid question but did you install the 3dfx rush patch to the tomb raider and use that executable to run it?
I ask this because I thought that executable would not run at all if it doesn't find voodoo card and you would not get software rendering with it either.

Heh, I'm debating on getting one too, but the pricing is just ludicrous. Almost snagged a nice NIB Canopus 6mb model but waited too long, I'm bad at procrastinating! For the record, I got my V2 to run TR1 by disabling SLI, using the rush patch and going with a slower P3 450 in place of the 850. Truthfully couldn't tell you which of those had the most affect.

For me the main thing was cpu speed and speed sensitivity of the ovl file version. Rush patch is the only one that works with Voodoo2 because it searches for the glide2x.ovl file while the standard 3dfx patch only wants voodoo1 card and nothing else works with it. Having SLI didn't matter for me at all. if I had correct ovl file that worked with single voodoo2, it also worked with SLI. It also did not seem to matter which game it was, it seemed to be only that if the ovl file was correct the voodoo2 card(s) were detected and worked but not detected using other ovl file versions.

Tie Break Tennis 98 - i think it possible to run it, in nGlide compatibility page it tells need cycles=75000 and it work, so task is to make real machine close to that speed, match it, in another words need to be slowdowned, or need slow processor like am5x86 (100Mhz?) Speedtst utility with 75000 cycles tells
it:

Pentium iP54-75(100), Intel Triton 669118
ы This computer 659420 parrots, 244.5 XT
Am5x86-133-X5-P75(3-180), UMC8886BF/8881F 640845

Prost Grand Prix 1998 - i see menus, when i start race it goes black screen, nothing more.

Dreams to Reality - i will try test soon
on Voodoo2 with 350Mhz one processsor and another 2Ghz

Actua Soccer (OEM) patch exist , i think you already know https://gona.mactar.hu/3D/files/SOC3DFX.zip

I think for Dreams to Reality also slow PC needed , so if bios allow , slowdown Hz of CPU decrease .

I think Pyl designed for Voodoo 1 card , so anyone can test it? The next idea i want to try DOS32A extender for this game.

Prost Grand Prix - hmm should be way to make it work? DOSBox varsions that support glide pass thru (not emulation) works , what magic behind that? or those dosbox versions use something voodoo1?
