I know there was a thread on this a while back, but the search function has proved to be unhelpful so I made a new one.

What games (beside the obvious, Blood) require a Voodoo 1, but not any other glide card to run in hardware/3DFX mode?

Mechwarrior 2 3dfx edition

It's usually the really early Glide games because they don't recognize newer cards. 3dfx should have been more forward looking (in many ways).

In that case could you just patch the games to support the newer cards?

AFAIK, all the ones that can be patched already have been patched at some point or another. The way I understand it, the issue is that some of the early games were compiled around, or statically linked to, an old version of the Glide library. It would, at very least, require access to the original source code of the executable in order to fix that.
