3dfx Archive - Voodoo Graphics SLI with 6 TMU

Obi-Wan_Kenobi Ex Member	Re: Voodoo Graphics SLI with 6 TMU Reply #30 - 07.09.06 at 12:53:33 hmm maybe the glide.dll's of the Barracuda might work on the Piranha, since the Big Barra should be able to do the same 3d renders as it's predecessor the Piranha Just an idea there If that does not work what about the Glide.dll's of a Voodoo Graphics or an Obsidian 100DB-4440?

Just an idea there

If that does not work what about the Glide.dll's of a Voodoo Graphics or an Obsidian 100DB-4440?

Tried them all already (last night as a matter of fact)

Then again. maybe not - I'm just assuming!

Developer maybe? So far the board functions flawless.

Worked on the Barracuda board tonight, still have a bit of work to do before I try running it again. Some stuff was knocked off by the lout on Ebay.

Maybe tomorrow I'll try some more screenshots, I think I have hypersnap around here somewhere...

Just Tempest.

I did get a nice screenshot of the Tempest control panel though.

Anyways the graphics look pretty sicko for that time of day, man glad to see you got it's runn'n and does it need Windows NT4.0 + SP6 to run or does 98SE do the job well enough?
