Hm, I'm almost certain there's something buried somewhere in the Forum actually...

Just search around, there was a list of steps to free as much as possible Video RAM (e.g. Desktop to 640x480 etc), and some reported it worked to some extend...

You could use the V1.03.00 DX7 Driver from the Archive, and if you have an intel CPU it should work quite okay (GTA3 somehow always failed with an AMD CPU and the V1.03.00)

Yeah there's a thread somewhere about it, but not a real solution..

The game *requires* 32 megs, and bluntly refuses to even run on less..

My setup is Intel P3/winxpsp1a/STB voodoo3.

I guess i'll just have to wait a few days until my voodoo4 gets here Sad
Should i excpect any problems with it?

Ah I see (I was still thinking about the 'old' GTA3).

But if Raziel64 made it work on the Banshee, the Voodoo3 certainly should be able to run it (?)

You probably should ask him (his website seems down/dead since a while again unfortunately), I only get the Java Animation with no Link any further (just like the last time Sad )

Hm, true, several 3dfx Drivers are able to use PCI Memory when needed (very slow, but works), so I really think it can be done Smiley

Oh i see, but there's a patch that corrects graphical 'issues' .. think that fixes the V4/5 issue aswell?
