Of course ! Your betatester is right !

My 3dfx32v3.dll patch aims to turn off driver calls to 2nd TMU, because Voodoo3 is a Banshee with 2nd TMU.

If you want to test ~200 MTexels/s Multi-Texturing Fill-Rate, you need to use the original, not patched 3dfx32v3.dll file.

@ galah

Welcome !

@ mojomotion

Relax ! You must use original file 3dfx32v3.dll with patched files 3dfx16v3.drv and 3dfxv3.vxd.

Well, I'm trying to patch V3 drivers so that they work 100% on Banshee. But it's a hard work and I am only an advanced user.

A reliable way to use V3 drivers is to patch only 3dfx16v3.drv (needed for other versions than 1.00.00 to 1.04.00) and 3dfxv3.vxd. You replace HEX 1A120500 with HEX 1A120300. By doing so, you change only PCI DeviceID, nothing else.

Is it so amazing that Avenger (aka Voodoo3) drivers work on Banshee ? No !

Voodoo3 databook page 11

NOW with 3dfx16v3.drv  and 3dfxv3.vxd  patched my tester got 200mgtx Cheesy Grin

But it has a lot of sys crash and some games screens become black Undecided

We must resolve that!
