@DenisF,


I'm assuming Blackbird thought it was interesting that someone got such a modern game to run on a voodoo 2, who cares if you would'nt want to play it because "it's just wrong", maybe someone else would  Wink

Thats it Smiley

Why is this topic called Doom on Voodoo 2 SLI?

Its not even Doom being shown, well not 1 or 2. As far as I know Doom 3 may just run on a Voodoo 5, nothing less.  Wink

You have stumbled onto the wrong board have you not?

People are running Doom3 on Voodoo 2 hardware, just because it isn't supported by id software doesn't mean it isn't happening.

Exactly, otherwise it wouldn't even run on a Voodoo4 (32MB) or a Voodoo5 (2x32MB technically, it's not 64MB unified) either Wink

Heck, even UT2004 was run on a Voodoo2 12MB (albeit with Visual errors due to really insufficient TexMem)

One things for sure though, it did generate a lot of media attention onto 3dfx hardware again (almost 200,000 views of the post on 3dfxzone.it)  Wink

Reading posts in other forums, it seems to have sparked some interest in people digging out there older 3dfx cards and wanting to put them in a system  Grin

damned i don't bring it to run it's discussing

first i've tried winxp...SLI cannot be detected great driver problems...
after that i'm setting my system up with win98se....effect: by opening doom3 it shows "Unable to initialize OpenGL" -> I've switched from MesaFX to WickedGL -> now doom3 starts, the  3dfx splash screen comes up and i see the menu initialization, then the console opens and i can see 4 warnings..after that the systems hangs  Sad this time i have really no idea what i can do to bring it to run..... damn
