Here's the latest list on the current successes, failures and fixes with 3dfx Glide, Open GL, and Direct 3D compatible computer games on the

Voodoo2 3D accelerator. Also included is the info on the maximum resolution available, a graphics quality letter grade score (totally relative of

course), and, where applicable, the fixes for games that need them. For example: the listing of "Quake 2 @ 1024x768, A-" means that the game,

QUAKE 2, runs at a maximum resolution of 1024x768, and has a graphic quality score of A-. Graphic quality includes framerate, resolution, level

of detail, quality of art, etc. Please remember that this is a graphic quality score only and not an overall score for the game. Note that the game

lists are not numbered to make it easier for me to amend. A "?" indicates that the information was not available to me.

Please don't ask me for links to the various patches: check out great 3dfx sites such as Voodoo Extreme (www.voodooextreme.com, my fave), or

consult the game manual for the publisher's homepage.

Check out www.3dfxmania.com (3D Files.com) for most of the patches.

- - - - - - - - - GAMES THAT WORK "OUT OF THE BOX" - - - - - - - - -

These are the titles which do not need any sort of patch or fix to get running on voodoo2. Note that 1024x768 is usually

acheived on a voodoo2 SLI setup only, unless z-buffering is not used in the game. If one of the games listed here does not

work on your system, chances are you need to get the latest voodoo2 reference drivers from 3dfx, you may have to

reinstall your current drivers, and/or uncheck any advanced properties like "force triple color buffering." Following the

games list are tricks to get better visuals or speedier performance, as well as extra information on the games when

appropriate.

Andretti Racing - Glide patch available which increases performance.

Battlezone - To enable 1024x768: download latest patch from Activision.com. Install patch, and create a

RENDER.CFG file (make a TEXT document, edit it, then rename it render.cfg) in the battlezone root directory

(c:\bzone or whatever) and include these lines:

[D3D]

triplebuffer=0

[NormalView]

HiRes=1

[D3D]

ZBuffer=0

Not sure if order has anything to do with it or if switching the zbuffer and/or the triplebuffer to 1 will work on all

setups - i switched them to 1 and it still ran perfect on my PC with SLI....

Castrol Honda Superbike - Does not use the voodoo2 by default: seems to use any other 3d accelerator if available

(ie RIVA, i740) - People with only the voodoo2 available for 3d says it works fine though. New patch reported to fix

problems at www.intense-games.com.

F1 Racing Simulation (Ubisoft) - Patch to fix glitches now available! Ubisoft.com. (thanks to Gez - www.voodoo.dk)

Falcon 4.0 Demo - Runs, very poorly, and looks terrible.

Forsaken - (with SLI) Use "Generic direct 3d" to get 1024x768. Switch in-game resolution back down to 640x480

before exiting, otherwise the next time you run the game it may hang. "A better approach is to modify the file with

the V2 parameters. Specifically, under ./forsaken/opt edit the file 3DfxVoodoo2.opt

and change the line ScreenMemory from 4096 to 6144. It should look like this..."

MipMap

3Dfx2

PolyText

ScreenMemory 6144

pw 640

ph 480

(thanks to Bill Burton)

Hexen 2: "I have been able to get it to work at 1024x768 in sli mode. Here's what i did: copied the .dll files from the latest release of glquake to

the hexen2 dir, overwriting the ones that were installed from the cd. then i started hexen2 with the command -width1024 -height 768. I also added

the command that is mentioned in the glquake readme about sizing the console text." (by Dave Nevala)

Incoming - "Create a shortcut to the game. Then add the switch or switches -framerate and -screenmode. With the screenmode switch, you can

select up to 1024x768. With the framerate switch, you can see your framerates." (Alan Newman)

Interstate '76 - Choose D3D (in 3dfx version) to avoid texture glitches. (Franciscus Tolhuizen)

Jetfighter Fullburn - Nice setup program for choosing various voodoo and voodoo2 cards. Mild Warning: this is really a DOS game running in

Windows. If you have any problems, a voodoo2 patch is available.

Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries - If you are having problems, install the latest patch and reboot.

Motorhead - Reported to work in D3D mode, runs fast and smooth. "Motorhead does run great under Glide on the voodoo2, you need to

disable D3D acceleration for the V2. It supports 1024x768 under Glide also, if you are running SLI." (John Round)

NICE 2 - "Click the 3dfx-starter (voodoo1 i mean...) - no problem running the game WITH the 3dfx-starter and the GOLD-drivers and panel for

Voodoo2!" (Goetz Scheuermann)

NHL Powerplay '98 - Crashes in 1024x768.

Private Wars Test Demo - Manually edit game.cfg from 640x480 to 800x600. (1024x768 does not work)

Redline Racer - Copy the rlr_d3d.exe from the CD and paste it into the game's directory on the hard drive. Run this version for higher resolution

AGP texturing. Note: may be slower on non Pentium-2s in this mode, but the graphics are much better.

Resident Evil - Problems? Download the voodoo2 bug patch if neccessary.

Scorched Planet - This is the new boxed version (3 pack, with Sabre Ace and Resident Evil)

Spec Ops - Disable SLI if the game crashes or flickers. Patches also available, including a special Voodoo2 texture patch which increases

graphic quality. Check http://www.specops.org for more info.

The Divide Enemies Within - Crashes in 800x600.

Ultimate Race Pro - Download Beta patch to run in 800x600 with even smoother FPS, with no SLI problems: otherwise disabling SLI is

neccessary.

The following games require the user to either download a patch, run a batchfile, or edit command lines to get working properly. Refer to

the game's manual for the web addresses to find the patches needed. Please note that some of these games originally did not work on

voodoo1: many were patched for 3dfx voodoo cards in general.

Archemedian Dynasty - download 3dfx patch - make sure Triple Color Buffering is off. (Frank Thoennes)

Battlecruiser 3000AD - "Make sure you have the latest version (currently 1.07c) It is fully voodoo2 compliant." (Derek

Smart)

Build Engine 3dfx patched games (Blood and Shadow Warrior): "The following batch file I created gives pretty good

results. The colours are not all goofed up, and it actually looks pretty good.

@echo off

set BUILD_BRIGHTNESS=1.5

set BUILD_GAMMA=1.0

set BUILD_640x480=1

set BUILD_RESAMPLE=1

set BUILD_NOPAL=0

set BUILD_NOFOG=0

set BUILD_CONVTEXTURES=1

set BUILD_TRICOUNT=0

set BUILD_FPS=0

SET SSTV2_GAMMA=1.0

SET SSTV2_RGAMMA=1.0

SET SSTV2_GGAMMA=1.0

SET SSTV2_BGAMMA=1.0

The BUILD_ values are documented in the readme that comes with the 3Dfx Blood patch. Some settings in the batch file

are redundant as they are just set to the default values." (big thanks to Colin Sewell)

Carmageddon: Voodoo2 patch available. Check out http://carmageddon2.telefragged.com for more info. Get all the

patches needed and follow the readme.txt's directions closely. In addition, if you're running though Windows, right click

the VOODO2C.EXE, choose "properties", choose "screen", and click on "full screen" and apply, or game may not start.

Note - I was able to run the newly patched version of this game on a network for over 3 hours and it ran perfect on both

voodoo2-equipped systems - in other words, the "unsupported"patch works very well!

Croc: Install normally, then remove ALL Glide related files from game directory.

Descent 2 - Reported to work with beta voodoo2 patch.

Dungeon Keeper - Download d3d patch. NOTE: disable SLI and limit texture memory must be done in some cases. Also,

BE PATIENT: it has been known to take almost a half minute to initialize. NEW:"If your playing Dungeon Keeper Direct

3D patch with the gold drivers from 3Dfx then you might have some graphic problems like out of place textures, but don't

you worry I found a fix for that problem.

first you need the 3Dfx V2 RC2 drivers,unzip "3dfx32v2.dll" from the RC2 driver zip file, copy the file into your dungeon

keeper dir & bingo, problem fixed." (Chris Jennings)

Extreme Assault - Voodoo2 patch now available! Requires installation of previous patch as well - check out

http://www.bluebyte.com/us/products/extreme/p_updates.htm. (Franciscus Tolhuizen)

F22 ADF - Patch available for download. "The Webupdate.exe file can be downloaded from Steve's website at

http://student-www.uchicago.edu/users/sjchmura." - "...an undocumented feature to turn onanti-aliasing in the Glide

version. Just use the key combo of "alt + 7" . This must be done each time you start the game." (Dale Rector)

FA-18 korea: Download BETA patch that supports voodoo2. Note: this game is annoyingly STUCK at 20fps.

FIFA 98 Road To World Cup: Download voodoo2 patch from EASports.com. (Goetz Scheuermann)

Flying Corps Gold - "Empire has released a new patch for Flying Corps which fixes some of the Voodoo2 problems.

Flying Corps V1 and V2 owners: If you have never upgraded before, you must download and install the Base files

(FC_111A.ZIP) and the update (FC_111Y.ZIP). If you have already upgraded to v1.11a, then you only need to download

the FC_111Y.ZIP file. Flying Corps Gold owners:You only need to download the Update (FC_111Y.ZIP)." (Operation

3dfx)

Flying Saucer Demo - Download patch that fixes voodoo2 bug.

Formula 1: Patch available at Operation 3dfx.

Formula 1 '97 - Download voodoo2 patch to clear up any bugs.

Frontline Fighters: (This includes 3dfx versions of Hind, Apache, and iF-16) Voodoo2 patches now available at Digital

Integration's website.

Gex 2 - Simply disable all advanced features, such as triple buffering, to elimate the black box problem. Patch available

to help speed issues as well.

Grand Theft Auto - As posted by Steve Schoenecker: "It will work but you have to do some tinkering. Look in the folder

that you installed the 3dfx version of GTA to and search for a file called something like glide.ovl. That file is the problem.

You need to replace this file with the one (same name newer version) located on your Creative V2 installation disk. Once

you do that the game will look for the V2 card

and run properly." NOTE: GTA works fine with no problems for others, and this may not be neccesary.

Hyperblade - "Uncheck the DirectDraw hardware acceleration checkbox in dxtool.exe in the Direct X folder. You should

also make sure the checkbox for Enable Direct3D Hardware Acceleration remains checked in DXSETUP." (Cyrus

Naderi)

iF-22 - Newest drivers needed. Use SST batch file if it crashes.

International Rally Championship - "New patch for International Racing Championship. The Patch adds Voodoo2

Support as well as a multitude of other fixes."(voodooextreme.com) "For Monster 3D II users, just get the latest drivers

from diamond multimedia, the patch is not required. Note: May not work with other atches, so leave it unpatched, and

may only work if running from the DOS Prompt in full screen mode."

Jet Moto - "Download latest patch, select v2 dx5 driver. Plays fine at 800x600." (Brian Troha)

Joint Strike Fighter: Download Voodoo2 patch. NOTE: Installing JSF erases glide 2.5, forcing you to reinstall the

voodoo2 glide drivers.

Lands of Lore 2 - "Install 3dfx patch...start game..press ESC..choose secondary card..may need a reboot for the game to

detect the card." (Frode)

Montezuma's Revenge - Patched by developer.

MotoRacer: New voodoo2 patch now available - reported to work. Get version 3.22.

Myth: Download latest patch from bungie.net.

Nascar 2 - Download 3dfx patch. It now looks incredible and runs flawlessly with full detail on and 39 cars in front of

you.

NBA Live 98: During the install, answer "Yes" when asked if you want to install a desktop shortcut. Once the game is

installed, add " 3DFX" to the end of the command line of the desktop shortcut (or the Start Menu shortcut). e.g. Right

click on the desktop shortcut icon to bring up its properties. In the 'Shortcut' tab, in the 'Target' edit box, you should see

(assuming you installed to the default directory, if not adjust instructions accordingly):

"C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\NBA Live 98\nbawin.exe".

After adding the "3DFX", the 'Target' box should read (including the quotes):

"C:\Program Files\EA SPORTS\NBA Live 98\nbawin.exe" 3DFX

Need For Speed II SE: These instructions assume that you have installed NFS II SE to the default directory (if this is not

the case, adjust instructions accordingly). During the install, answer "Yes" when asked if you want to install a desktop

shortcut. Once the game is installed, open the Windows Explorer and view the contents of the NFS II SE CD-ROM. In the

root directory, you will see a file called nfs2ea.exe. Copy this file from the CD-ROM to the install directory (the default

directory is C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed II SE). Next make a copy of the desktop shortcut. To do

this, right click on the NFS II SE desktop icon and drag it to another spot on the desktop. When you let go of the right

mouse button, you should get a pop-up menu with the options "Move Here, Copy Here, Create Shortcut(s) Here and

Cancel". Choose "Copy Here". You should have another desktop icon called "Copy of NFSIISE". Right click on this new

icon to bring up its properties. In the 'Shortcut' tab, in the 'Target' edit box, you should see:

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed II\nfs2sen.exe"

Change it to read:

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Need For Speed II\nfs2sea.exe"

Also, you may rename the icon from "Copy of NFSIISE" to "NFSIISE for 3Dfx"

NHL 98: Once the game is installed, check to make sure that the "3D Acceleration" option in the "Options" menu is set to

"On".

Nuclear Strike - Gold drivers needed. Looks like its running at a much higher resolution automatically. NOTE: You may

also need the latest patch as well, which addresses the voodoo2 problems.

Outlaws - (taken from newsgroup) "Outlaws will work. Version 1.0 doesn't have Glide support, so you need Version 1.1.

Version 1.1 will not work because it's using Glide 2.41 (looking for LECGLIDE.DLL so it won't use Glide 2.5). You also

need to download the missions (5.4 MB patch, Version 2.0). This will give you the option to use Glide 2.43 in the

troubleshooting/video options screen and will work just fine with the V2's."

Pandemonium - Download Voodoo2 patch.

POD: For complete details, visit http://members.aol.com/redline808/pod/REDZONE.HTM, and take a gander at the POD

FAQ page at http://members.aol.com/redline808/pod/HFAQ.HTM. (Simon Knight)

Robo Rumble - Use Direct 3D Mode.

Screamer Rally/2 - "Screamer Rally Voodoo 2 patch. Tested with no problems. Screamer 2 3dfx patch also on way."

(Damion David) "After copying the patch to the rally directory, overwrite the glide2x.dll too by copying the same file from

windows directory into the rally directory. Result? The colors are more beautiful, less washed out." (Yan Tee Karn)

Sega Tour Car Championship - Download Direct 3D patch.

Shadows Of The Empire FIX: Download Latest Patch, and be sure to run new SHADOWS.EXE file, not SOTE.EXE

Streets of Sim City - Remove glide2x.dll and fxmemmap.vxd from game directory.

Tex Murphy: Overseer - Download D3D patch. "Note: the mouse cursor is disappearing. Access said that they will find

Test Drive 4 - "...download the patch of Accolade's web site. The patch said that it makes the game work with Voodoo

Rush but it also works with the Voodoo2."

Tigershark - ...from Shawn Leaf of N-Space... "Get the 1.31 patch at

www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_temp.asp?patch=tshark ....Since the V2 has so much horsepower, make sure you give the

anti-aliasing a try. You can toggle it from the main menu or the pause menu by typing n[space bar]aa. You should get a

confirmation beep and an on/off message."

X-Wing Versus Tie fighter - Newest direct3d patch from Lucasarts seems to work

The following games have been tested with, or were reported to work with, the special "SST" settings, which limit the

voodoo2 to make it act as an older voodoo card. To do so, Basically create a batchfile, (example: Oldglide.bat) and edit

these lines in it:

set SST_GRXCLK=90

set SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4

set SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6

set SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6

set SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1

set SST_VOUT_CLKDEL=0x0

set SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2

When you want to play these old glide games, run the batchfile, then run the game normally. A fellow Voodoo2er named

"Sergey" pointed out the "out of environment space" problem people may have when attemping to use this batchfile.

Rather than trying to reiterate what he said, i'll steal his words directly:

"Running out of environment space when setting these variable? If that happens, some of them won't be set. Use my

directions below to create a shortcut to the batch file with increased environment space or put them in your autoexec.bat

file and increase the environment space for it if needed. To use the variables in your C:\autoexec.bat file: Put the

variables in your C:\autoexec.bat file. Add the line (minus quotes) to your C:\config.sys file: "shell=c:\command.com

/e:nnnnn" where nnnnn is a number from 160-32768. If this line is not in C:\config.sys, the default value of 256 bytes is

used. If nnnnn is less than 160 or greater than 32768, the default value of 256 bytes will again be used. Example in your

C:\config.sys file (again minus the quotes): "shell=c:\command.com /e:512" allocates 512 bytes of memory to environment

space. Use the comaptibility variables in a batch file written for the particular game you want to run. To make a batch file

from win95, Explore over to your game's folder, right-click on the contents of the folder, select "new", then "text

document" and rename the file to somthing like "game.bat". Click "yes" on the dialog box that pops up. Then right-click

on the file you just made and "edit" it. Enter the set commands that you need (see the example below) and save the file. To

find out if you run out of environment space (which -may- happen and some of the "set" commands won't be registered)

temporarily remove the "rem" before the pause. This will pause the batch file at a point where you can read any error

messages, just before the program is executed. If you run out of environment space, an error message "out of

environment space" will be displayed. If you get this message, you'll have toincrease the allocated environment space for

the batch file. To do this, right-click on the batch file, select "create shortcut", right-click on the shortcut and select

"properties". Then under the "memory" tab, change the "initial environment" from "auto", to say "512". Experiment with

this number and when you find the lowest one that allows the batch file to run without the "out of environment space"

error, go ahead and stick with that one. If you add more set commands, you may need to increase the number. Click "ok"

to save your changes and double-click on the shortcut to run the game."

GAMES SST BATCHFILE WORKS ON:

Battle Arena Toshinden - Reported to work.

EF2000 2.0 - Most report no problems after using batchfile.

Mechwarrior2 3dfx edition - "In addition to the bat file, you need to copy the Glide divers from the Voodoo1 (Glide.dll

and Sst1init.dll) to the Mech2 dir. Everything should work fine."

Screamer 2 - I received this bit more advice on how to get this one working: "I had success with Screamer 2 using the

same variables but had to manually copy the new V2 glide drivers along with fxmemmap.vxd, not sure if the latter was

needed, but put it there anyway."

Tomb Raider/Tomb Raider - Unfinished Business - works with latest glide patch and the preceding SST batchfile. Here's

a more detailed one:
