Need For Speed voodoo patches (3-5)
23.01.10 at 00:35:01

I recently booted up my vintage gaming machine for some old action, but I am having troubles with these games. I am sure that patches were made for 3dfx cards for these games. So what I am asking is, are there any patches for 3DFX cards of Need For Speed III, High Stakes, and Porsche Unleashed? I don't like the cruddy performance of the Glide driver for NFS III, I don't like to stick with the software driver for NFS High Stakes, and NFS Porsche Unleashed software is terrible as well. If results were found, PLEASE post them here....

I really would like to play the PC versions of these games.

And, if needed, my old PC's specs are here:

Intel PIII 450 MHz
PC100 SDRAM 384MB (non-ECC)
3DFX Voodoo3 3000 AGP
Creative Labs Sound Blaster 128D

NFS Porsche defaults to DX7 driver, but this can be changed from the 3d configuator to glide - the performance will be much better and also the image quality. I remember playing NFS Porsche on V2 - awesome image quality - the colors looked very vivid, no other cards can render it so nice - I am now playing on 8800 Ultra and it simply doesn't look so good.

Even with the release and unofficial patches I can't manage to make the game pass the loading screen. It loads and at 100% it freakin' freezes ! ...every Goddamned time.
