Jabo GFX crash with banshee

[Hacktarux]

Here's my problem: I have a celeron 333 with a voodoo banshee video card and 350 Mb of RAM. I know it's far under the specs, but i don't expect to run any games at full speed, i just want to test some stuff with my emu. Whatever the emu i use and with every roms, it starts, it shows graphics and after approximately 5 seconds it crashes compleatly the computer.

I see two possible reason, first, it is because the processor doesnt support sse instructions. Second is because of the banshee card (in which case i can eventually replace it with a TNT2 i have arrange somewhere i can't remember).

One last thing, i have tried with 1.4 dx6 & dx7 and with 1.3 plug-in.

Is there someone who have succesfully launched a games with a config similar to mine.

well i remember, when i had my old celeron aat 333mhz and an intel graphics chip, the only emu that i could run was nemu64. It was not playable though due to graphics bugs and so forth

Hacktarux, did you try to disable advance AGP w/ Direct control?

What's your OS? The default Banshee drivers in Win2k suck bad, at first I couldn't get any Glide or D3D stuff running, so you'll probably need at least the latest 3dfx beta drivers or better even a 3rd party compile installed.

Win 98 should be pretty much the same, tho the drivers are supposed to be more stable. Haven't touched it in a while though.

In any case Jabo's looks like ass on a Banshee, so no big loss ;)

Maybe the crashing problem is DX related, I mean, you should get at least _one_ emu running on your comp :)

I haven't tried to disable advance AGP w/ Direct control, i will try this night.
My OS is win98 and the directx version is 8.x.

I think it can be said in a generalized sense that if the problem with your setup was lack of SSE/MMX/3DNow instructions on your processor causing the crash, more people would have that problem.

That said, there is a ton of banshee drivers, your best bet is to try multiple ones, I don't know of any specific crashing issues on them, so that is the only thing I can say, hope this helps.
