I happened to stumble upon a price mismark on age of empires 3 collectors edition at circuit city the other day. $49.99 for regular game nothing extra
$34.99 Collectors edition with buttload of crap

price it was supposed to be $69.99

But with such bargains come problems. With the game on my voodoo5 and the newest SFFT driver the terrain texture grass snow water are lets say garbled or mismatched.
Another stupid thing was that it would not allow me to install it on my dads 1ghz computer because the Athlon processorlacked SSE insruction set. WTF

To be honest : I'm very surprised this Game even runs on the Voodoo5 in the first place...
(which means that the SFFT Driver is already doing one heck of an awesome job)

On higher Details, it is known to drag even quite high-end Systems quite a bit down ;)

That it won't run on non-SSE Systems is weird though...
I think Koolsmoky wrote a small nifty Utility that fakes SSE and reroutes its calls onto the normal FPU.

I'll have a look around, see if I can still find it (I think he made it when ATI owners managed to run the NVidia "Dawn" Tech-Demo some years ago)

-- edit --
Found it, but it was only a special glu32.dll to work exclusively for that Demo, so it's unfortunately not a general purpose Utility.

I've launched an EMail to query Koolsmoky. No Idea if it gets through, but at least it's worth a try.
(alot of people have the SSE requirement Problem)

Now I got it, it was coded by Colourless... I'll ask him then ;)
(he managed to re-route SSE Calls onto the Athlon 3dNow! ALU it seems, worked like a blast for the Dawn Demo)

The cruel irony is that I installed it over my network from my dads computer to my DELLXPS R450 with 1ghz celeron upgrade and a whopping 384mb of pc100 memory ,a soundblaster pro card made for the chunky slot, and holds my voodoo5. Thats what I call legacy.

I got the response from Colourless, he actually started a general purpose SSE Emulator but never finished it.
(it's more or less 50% done, with lots of work remaining).

Therefor there's nothing that can be done I'm afraid.
