Try Mesa-fx...but I doubt it since I think the game REQUIRES 32-bit... :P

well if the game is based on OpenGL, 16 bit shouldn't be a problem with the MesaFX OpenGL32.dll, but then again NOLF2 requires a 32 meg VGA as minimum so I think it's not possible.

NOLF2 uses the LithTech engine so it's using d3d  ;)

I have it installed and it works fine, but thats with a 5500 and using the fantastic SFFT driver.

I cannot say for sure as I have not tried it on my Voodoo 3 system,  but I'm guessing even if it did run it would be quite slow as it's pushing the 5500 @ 800 X 600 32 bit to get a playable frame rate.

The original NOLF runs fantastic on my voodoo 3; 650 mhz pentium 3 system though.

You would also have to have a much faster cpu than the games recomended minimum 500 mhz ! I have tried this game on a freinds 800 mhz pentium with a geforce 2 gts  and it was a bit slow  ;)

Both games are really great and I would highly recomend them to anyone who likes a good first person shooter with a good story and lots of humour to boot  ;)

well the problem is a Voodoo3 can't do 32 bit, as a 5500 can, there is a big difference ther, may it's because that NOLF2 requires 32 Bit colour, which describes the Voodoo3's problem.
