Got a Voodoo 3 3000 and it works with Madden 99 in d3d but not glide - get a black screen. I can check later as to what drivers I'm using but can anyone recommend
the version they're having the least trouble with? On the game CD it has drivers for the Voodoo/voodoo2/Banshee but not V3.

Asus P5N-E Intel Core 2 Duo 3.33ghz. 4GB DDR2 Geforce 470 1GB SB X-Fi Titanium 650W XP SP3
Intel SE440BX P3 450 256MB 80GB SSD Asus V7700 GF2 64mb SB 32pnp 350W 98SE
MSI x570 Gaming Pro Carbon Ryzen 3700x 32GB DDR4 Zotac RTX 3070 8GB WD Black 1TB 850W

The driver version is 4.12.01.1222 if anyone's interested. Another game, EA Sports NCAA Football 99 also crashes but got it going with adding "v" to the command line.
Guess the V3 doesn't like the sports titles from EA Sports. Can somebody recommend the drivers they're using for playing games in the 98-2000 era with success?

Tried those, Madden 99 runs in glide mode but crashes during exiting the game which is strange. May try the earlier drivers
to see if there's any difference.
