..I think I should add this here: it seems like A43-46 driver has some bug that results in jumpy opengl/glide support.until this is resolved,A42 is recommended.

I got the latest SFFT Driver Alpha 46 driver and I found out the hard way. The A46 seems to have very minimal opengl/glide support.
Funny thing now is when I uninstall the A46 and re-install the A42 I'm getting the opengl errors on a screen saver that uses it. It did work before the upgrade to A46.

The first message box says:
"Can't get a Rendering Context"

Then the second message box says:
"Can't create an OpenGL window!"

Any ideas on how to restore back to a working OpenGL?

Hi All,

I noticed that SFFT has been updated on the site www.3dfxzone.it to another new version:

SFFT Driver Alpha 4.8 for Voodoo3/4/5

I tried this one last night for several hours but it isn't as good (or stable) as SFFT Driver Alpha 4.7

By the way, I'm having a blast re-discovering Need 4 Speed 3 - Hot Pursuit, now under XP Pro and with a PC steering wheel and pedals.
What a hoot . . . . gotta beat that Diablo, avoid the spike strip, ram the road block and go go go . . . .

It looks great using SFFT Driver Alpha 4.7 but goes to jaggies under SFFT Driver Alpha 4.8.

Cheers All.
