I feel like I am never going to game again in my life. One day I download the newest, best driver for Voodoo3 (amigamerlin3) and it works on a game, next day I want to play a different game and it wont work....I'm going to have to buy a new computer.   :(

I played black and white, no problems. I try to play Never Winter Nights, no go, not happening. I even just tried to play this poncy little golf game and it told me that it couldn't enable 3d scenery! WHAT? I dont get it, someone help me out here; is it my drivers? my Voodoo card? Some other problem that my ickle brain cant detect.

I'm getting desparate.    :( ??? :'(

The Amigasport is the one I have  :-[ Sorry not the merlin. I'm using XP.

Anyway, are you telling me that I have to install new drivers for different games? There isn't one "Golden Driver" that will make life easy?

The golf game is some free download called "Mini Golf", you see my problem, even free games wont work.

Do games use opengl, glide and whatever else all in one go or do games use just one or the other depending on the type of game?

*Sigh* i'll have to get my wife to put an Xbox in my stocking this year.

Still no go  ???

When I place the opengl32.dll file into the game folder (as required by mesafx_0.51) the game wont load, it takes ages to do anything, then an xp error report is processed.

I copied the glide3x.dll file into the system32 folder aswell.

When I delete the opengl32.dll file from the game folder the game does load, but all I have is a white screen....very pretty!!! Then when I return to my desktop my wallpaper is gone, everytime I load it up.

Is it me being thick?

I dont know what you mean by my config....sorry  :-[
Do you mean system spec?

P.S. Is Nev Win Nights worth playing anyway? if its pap, I can save all this trouble and use it to fuel the fire!

Okay, my system spec

Its really nothing to scream about, probably the reason I cant seem to do anything with it!

I dont know whats important (or what anything really means), so i'll write it all down.

What else do you need to know?

Any ideas on why no games work?

Thankyou  :)

I think that it isn´t work because the mesafx 0.51 isn´t fully compatible with opengl 1.2 in voodoo3.
Try the file which it´s in this page and tell us if it works (It´s a file called opengl32.dll and you have to use it like the one in mesafx)

Tell us if it works.
Thanks ;)

Upsss!!!!! :o
Yes, I´ll do
I´m new on this ;D

Hmmm!
my page has been deleted :o

http://www.gratisweb.com/radeonpowa/Opengl_software.html

all people who want to try this file can download it from this page

P.S: I´m not responsible of the damage that this file could do to the computer, it´s only for beta testing

Please, tell us your results ;)

No go people. I'm supposed to copy the file into my system32? Yes?

When I do, it immediately reverts back to the old opengl.dll file. 600k not 4.09mb, why is this?

Still just get a white screen! Do you think its my version of NWN?

Is there another way i can test if i have it working rather than testing it on NWN?

Cheers for now.

lol
What you have to do is place the opengl32.dll where the game folder is. It´s like wickedgl

When I put OPENGL32.dll in the game folder, NWN doesn't load at all and tells me that MSVCRTD.dll was not found.

i'll keep trying different folders within the main folder.

Any ideas?

Arghh, computers are so frustrating. What does a guy have to do to play some games?

All i can say is it must be my game.

Just have some patience, Daniel is working on the problem with NWN, at least this is what I read over at www.3dfxzone.it

The Demo of NWN ran (altough very slow) with the Demo of SCITECH GLDIRECT on my K6-2 500 - Voodoo³ 3000. But GLD only works 30 Days...

This opengl32.dll is very unstable, I have tested it, so I am going to put the previous and stable version although, maybe, is too slow, check my page again ;)
