OpenGL switching nvidia<->3dfx
06.03.07 at 15:11:35
 
Hello people....long time no see....heve some days off from the service in the army (62 left and counting  Tongue) so I decided to play arround a bit with the retroz in my room. Here is the question. Besides that terrible software called "opengl switcher", is there any way to switch the icd betwin 3dfx's and nvidia's? In my 4600Ti+Righteous pc things are simple couse the v1 doesnt have ogl (nor the glide 3x -> ogl caller  Wink). But on the gf3+v2 sli pc I can't control witch ogl is active (the gf3's or the sli's).

*That thing called "opengl switcher only worked with the v1+banshee combination....when you try to switch to nvopengl.dll if you have an nvidia you lose ogl foever  Angry

just drop the 3dfx icd (or minigl/wickedgl/mesafx) to the game main folder (where the main game exe is),rename it to opengl32.dll,select default opengl in the game options and the game will use the voodoo2 card (assuming the glide drivers are correctly installed).

note: this may cause you problems with som online anti-cheat programs,like punkbuster.

Tried that already. Doesn't seem to work with all games. Actually I would like to disable voodoo's 2 ogl forever since the geforce's 3 is much faster. For e.x. in Bugs bunny lost in time, whoz vga ogl will work is depended on 3dcc (even though its function should work only in d3d). Any thoughts on how to remove ogl from the drivers?

yeah,just find the 3dfx opengl icd in your system folder and delete it (or rename it).
