I received them from a friend. He's a SW maniac too. Apparently his rig cannot play these (old) games. He knows I am a retro player AND a SW fan, so I got these 😳 : SW episode I: The Phantom Menace, which appears to be a piece of crap, and that masterpiece of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II. TPM is in original case. Sadly, my friend was right. JK plays only in software rendering on my main system, so I'll fire up the 2 combo for it (K6-2+2xVoodoo2).

Y2K box: AMD Athlon K75 (second generation slot A)@700, ASUS K7M motherboard, 256 MB SDRAM, ATI Radeon 7500+2xVoodoo2 in SLI, SB Live! 5.1, VIA USB 2.0 PCI card, 40 GB Seagate HDD.
WIP: external midi module based on NEC wavetable (Yamaha clone)

I've never had an issue with D3D working with Jedi Knight 2..... What graphics card are you using?

On the DX10 cards, Jedi Knight won't work.

It's not a big loss because the old 16-bit color depth games look terrible on those cards anyway due to the companies dropping 16-bit dithering. Some dedicated fans are writing wrappers to force 32-bit color on some games. Dark engine games for ex (System Shock 2, Thief)
