Voodoo3 users left?-Share personal experiences
22.05.05 at 11:02:13
 
Although Voodoo 3 series are no match for modern standards, I supose there still are users out-there trying to make the most out off this wonderfull piece that is the "Avenger". I'm very happy with my V3 3500TV-PAL, although lack of suport for PAL-D TV-Tuner standard in Win 2000/XP drivers forces me to be limited to Windows Millennium Edition.
There are drivers updated to the curent days in 2000/XP enviroments (thancks for that to the wonderfull men doing this job) but for all I know, support for Windows 9x seems to have been discontinued for quite a long time, sadely ... Sad
My questions are, so please Voodoo3/Win9x users please post here, the following:
- The latest drivers core for V3 and Win9x seems to be found in Mikepedo 1.1 release, indeed with a good DirectX 8+ compatibility, native DirectDraw Interface 8.x, but realy buggy (running for example 3DMark 2001 SE build 330 produces odd black and white textures). Why dosn't anybody develope this core? Mikepedo gave up?
- The final (and last) releases of Win9x drivers for V3 that I know about are Amigamerlin 2.9 and 3DHQ beta10 and those are 2,5 years old. Is anybody curently working at a new driver set for Win 9x or this is a lost cause? Too bad if so, Win9x seems to be the best enviroment for gaming with Voodoo cards.
- I want to ask you, Voodoo3 and Win9x users what driver release are you using, witch one gives the best results?
Thank you!

I'm using the Amigamerlin 2.9 drivers and 98 SE but for the most part, I'm just playing older games with it (Duke Nukem Atomic, Shadow Warrior, X-wing vs Tie Fighter, Rogue Squadron, Decent, Delta Force 1-2). Seems to work just fine for those. Anything current though, I"m using my 9600 XT and XP. For what ever reason, I couldn't get Shadow Warrior to work with my V5 in the box but works with the V3???? SW is supposed to be a true DOS game so I don't know, you'd think it'd work though. Other wise my V3 works just fine in though.
