I've given my Ideas via Mail, but for all others to see as well, here as well :
-------------------------
The contained readme states the following Minimum Requirements :
1- 32MB Card
2- DirectX8.1 compatible Driver
3- Hardware T&L
(1)
This leaves Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 only...
(2)
No 3dfx Driver to date has proven to be fully DirectX 8.1 compilant, if a Game's 3D Engine did thorough testing before initializing...
Possible Solution :
3D Analyzer (
http://www.tommti-systems.de )
During my testing with Alpha Level Versions of 3D Analyzer, it has proven to be able to successfully mask any 3dfx Driver as fully DirectX8.1 compilant and compatible.
---------
Since my participation in testing/enhancing this Tool has ceased, however, there's no guarantee the released Versions after those tests can still do the same.
---------
(3)
Hardware T&L can be achieved via
Geometry Assist =
Enable in the Driver's advanced Direct3D Options.
-------
Yet, this is DirectX
7 T&L
only, doesn't work with Win2000/WinXP, and is emulation only (might not work 100% correct).
-------
The more promising way is again 3D Analyzer, as it is able to mask the 3dfx Driver as fully DirectX8.1 Hardware T&L capable (
Pure HW T&L).
================
However, I'm aware of no testing or Results of the use of 3D Analyzer with NOLF2....
Therefor, this is left to Trial & Error, to find out.
Bottom line is, that (presenly), there is no other way existing besides 3D Analyzer to meet these Minimum Requirements...
