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 ... :(
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!

Check out the SFFT beta drivers over at ;):- http://www.3dfxzone.it

You want the SFFT V3 betas... ;D

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.
