Can I play hitman 2 with voodoo video cards ?
If true,what voodoo video-card is good  ? and what
type of the voodoo video-card is best ?(the voodoo accelerator or the voodoo display adapter ?)

Additional info needed !
Doesn't work.Please tell where I'am wrong.
Here is the hitman2.ini configuration file:

DefaultScene=AllLevels/Logos.gms

SoundDll SoundEngine.dll
ScriptDll SDL_Engine.dll
ScriptIfDll ScriptInterfaces.dll
DrawDll RenderOpenGl.dll

LocaleFile=Locale\English.xml
Resolution 640x480

AutoDumpName ScreenDump0000.jpg
ColorDepth 16
ErrorLog error.log
EnableConsole

Anisotropy 0
AntiAlias 0
ShadowDetail 2
TextureResolution 0
UseDirectInputMouse
UseDirectInputKeyboard
HeroControlMode 1
MouseSpeed 0.8

SpeechVolume 100
MusicVolume 88
SoundEffectsVolume 100

ConfigFile=Keyboard.cfg

DisablePolyLimit
UseEax 1

end of the hitman2.ini

The  v2_mesafx_xp  package contains the followings:
Enable.exe
Mesa_fx.exe
Some htm files
I launched  enable.exe .The application installed some
files in the C:\Windows\System32
I launched Mesa_fx.exe.
The dialog window prompts me to select the game folder.I selected the hitman2 game folder.The application installed the opengl32.dll ,version
5.1.01 (Mesa 5.1)

I've created the batch file named go_hitman2.bat
in wich I wrote the following 2 lines:
set MESA_FX_MAXLOD=10
Hitman2.Exe

Now the glide3x.dll file that you are talking about is the
driver from the C:\Windows\System32 directory or is
a new driver.You said about the correct  glide3x.dll driver.This driver in what package is included ?,because
in the v2_mesafx_xp package is not.
I used instead the glide3x.dll from the System 32 and put it in the hitman2 folder.
I launched go_hitman2.bat  and the game returned the
following message:

OpenGl:SelectPixelFormat failed.Hardware acceleration not supported.Try changing color depth.

Then I set the color depth in the display settings to 16
but still the same error.
If a launch the game directly form hitman2.exe it starts.

So,what it's wrong ?

Thank you verry much,You are the best !.
It's working ,wiht awsome moves !.
Thank you again verry much.Thank you.

Guess what .I done the same thing to hitman contracts.
It works  superbisimo.

After playing htiman2 for a while a encounter this
problem:
Sometimes when I play hitman2 ,the game stops and
my HDD starts to work like its loading something.
(The red led starts to blink)(During this time the game halts and the image freezes).Then after finishing the "working"  the  game halts and  I can't do anything.
The mouse  & keyboard are halted to .
So the only thing that I can do is to restart from
the reset button.
(I tryied to play with minimal settings,medium settings,
changing color depth,installing and reinstalling the directx ,but still then same problem)

In the hitman3 ,when this occurs I am pushed back in the operating system (winxp).

I looked in the event viewer and for the hitman3 tells me
this:

"
Faulting application hitmancontracts.exe, version 1.0.0.165, faulting module hitmancontracts.exe, version 1.0.0.165, fault address 0x002d31e7."
(for hitman2 an error report is not present)

The error come from a device driver or from the CPU?

I have installed the latest driver for voodoo2 (according to your recommendations) and the latest MESAFX (the prerelease from 15-Feb-2005)

Get this:
From Event Viewer:
Source:Service Control Manager
"The Voodoo2 PCI Port I/O service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified. "

Source:Service Control Manager
"The Voodoo2 Memory Mapper service failed to start due to the following error:
The system cannot find the file specified. "

What file specified ? What file ?

I am using KoolSmoking's driver
Quoting from the driver's readme file:
"14/1/2005
Voodoo2(TM) Based 3D Accelerators Driver TEST Kit for Win2K/XP

Glide Driver Version: Sourceforge 2.56.0.40404 (beta)
Glide3 Driver Version: Sourceforge 3.3.0.40404 (beta)
Voodoo Graphics Memory Mapper Version: 4.3.0.1099 (beta)

This kit contains Glide2x, Glide3x drivers for Voodoo2 Based 3D
Accelerators. The Glide drivers are bleeding-edge builds from
glide.sourceforge.net. Besure to uninstall previous V2 drivers
before installing this kit. This is a test release.

Notes:
- Includes fixes for memmap errors and desktop corruptions.
- Optimized for 3dnow! and mmx.
- Registry tweaks will work.
- Metabyte WickedGL will correctly detect V2.
- Alphablending dither subtraction is disabled by default. Set
  FX_GLIDE_NO_DITHER_SUB = 1 to enable dither subtraction.
- 24bbp->16bbp 4x4 dither matrics is always forced to 2x2.
- Set SSTV2_MISMATCHED_SLI = 1 for mismatched SLI support. This may
  not work due to differences in V2 board design. If you have problems
  try swapping the PCI slot order of the V2 boards.
- Quantum3D Obsidian2 X-24, X-16, and similar SLI boards must have
  the following set.
  SSTV2_FT_CLKDEL = 5
  SSTV2_TF0_CLKDEL = 7
  SSTV2_TF1_CLKDEL = 7
  SSTV2_TF2_CLKDEL = 7
  SSTV2_SLIM_VIN_CLKDEL = 3
  SSTV2_SLIM_VOUT_CLKDEL = 2
  SSTV2_SLIS_VIN_CLKDEL = 3
  SSTV2_SLIS_VOUT_CLKDEL = 2
  SSTV2_GRXCLK = 90

(end quoting)
I'am using Directx 9.0c
All drivers for the mother board are the latest.

No, doesn't work.Stiil the same problem,PLus know at windows start up I recive again this message error:"Genport I/O initialization failure"

Now i have uninstalled the voodoo2 from my system and
remove the accelerator from my computer.
My default video card's name is:Trident video accelerator
blade 3D/Promedia (Onboard)with 8MB of video .(In this context I can play games only in d3d platform.)
I installed the opengl driver (supplyied by Via Corp ,from
Via arena download page.Seems that the chipset of the
display adapter is via kle 133 )
I launched the game from hitmancontracts.exe(No changes have been made in the hitmancontracts.ini file)
The same problem I have.I can play about 5-10 minutes
then the game stops responding and I'am pushed back
to desktop.
Why ?
