Has anyone been able to get a Voodoo2 or a Voodoo2 running on a socket 4 motherboard based around the Intel Mercury (430LX) chipset? I've been having the most difficult with this on two different socket 4 motherboards - Intel Batman's Revenge and Acer V12P. I'm using a Promise Ultra100 PCI controller card or a Promise SATA150TX2plus. I set the drivers are and try to run GLQuake in Win95c or in WinNT4, but keep receiving this error:
_GlideInitEnvironment: glide2x.dll expected Voodoo, none detected
followed by
grSstSelect: non-existent SST
followed by
Could not initialise GL (wglCreateContext failed)
Make sure you in are 65535 colour mode, and try running -window.
If I am using the Voodoo2 and check the display properties and view the Voodoo2 apelet, I see the spinning 3dfx, which I think doesn't occur if the Voodoo hardware isn't functional. Is the issue due to the PCI bus being too old? The Promise card is listed as bus master - is it having trouble sharing the PCI bus with the Voodoo?
I tried running other games like Quake II, Descent, MDF (3dfx mode), but the result is the same. It left me wondering if anyone has had success running a Voodoo 1/2 on a socket 4 Mercury. Any ideas to getting this hardware combination working? I am using the Pentium 133 MHZ overdrive in the socket 4 systems.
