[quote]Oooh, Egon - I’d like to try and make it work on a Voodoo2 actually. Got any more details of its failure to do so?

The first thing you have to do, is to copy the Voodoo2 OpenGL-driver (either the one supplied by 3dfx or the WickedGL-driver from Metabyte) into the LWJGL-dir. Otherwise, LWJGL seems to try to do OpenGL on the primary card (in this case: an ATI Mach64 PCI…not a good idea at all…). The problem is, that is does work…you just don’t see anything. It’s all black. But you can exit normally, if you are lucky, so i assume that the menu itself is working. I once managed to get into the game (judging from the sounds) but even there, everything was black. No idea why. Then again, this is an ancient card. I don’t think that supporting it is important.

Ancient and common. Not to mention the Voodoo3 and 5 cards (was there a 4?) I bet if I get it to work on one card it’ll work on them all. So I’m wondering exactly what bit it doesn’t like.

Cas :slight_smile:

was there a 4?

yes.

v4 had one “vsa 100” chip. v5 had two or four (two models) “vsa 100” chips. these 2 cards r basically the same :slight_smile:

v2 is different it’s an addon not a standalone card.

v2.5(banshee) is basically a v2 with a 2d card (=standalone) but only one texture unit.

v3 is just a better version of the v2.

yea… it’s that easy :>

No, it’s not ;D. The V3 was basically a Banshee with a second texture unit (i.e. multitexturing). The rest (including the image quality and the fact that they were “normal” 2d/3d graphics cards) was the same. The V3 was no add-on card like the V2. I should know…i’ve had them all (including the “famous” Voodoo Rush, which is missing from your list)… :wink:

All this and you lot miss out my venerable 4MB 3Dfx Voodoo Graphics, still going after all these years and still able to play Quake 2 like a dream and Quake 3 Arena at a push.

I don’t know, kids these days… ;D

pheck! i know that. just mixed summin up there (“that easy” ad absurdum) :>

(:
