Addicted to Glide

Technically Voodoo(any version) doesn't support the neccessary blend modes for even OpenGL 1.2.



Claiming to have OpenGL 1.3 doesn't mean much, when most of the features are not supported.

I don't really know but all listed extensions are suported in MesaFX (of course there's some software emulation )
And how about screenshot of UT2K3 @ 1024x768x32 w/ 4xFSAA running without any bugs on V5 6000 and minimal FPS is 25
UT2K3 can't run with OGL 1.1 and afaik 1.2...

Colourless(GlideXP author) himself has said that VSA-100 lacks the necessary blends for OpenGL 1.2. Having dot product 3 texture blending and 3d textures in software doesn't get you much anyway...

Can a voodo 5 pci be used as a glide add-in card? I've also heard people talk about using dual voodoo2s for splitting scanline operations or something. Does anyone know about this?

i still prefer playing descent 3 with a voodoo card, the game supports glide3x, opengl & directx7 but it still feels weird with the last two api's...
really miss my dead voodoo2

got a voodoo3 though...

A Voodoo3/4/5 can be used as a Glide only card, but you would need a second monitor, or a video switchbox to switch to when you activate a Glide game.

A Voodoo2's can be used at the same time with a cable that links the 2 boards. It's called SLI(scan line interleave) as each card renders each other scan line, effectively making it twice as fast.

its not just talk, i have mine set up like that

you really don't need a KVM switch OR second monitor, just go back there and switch the wire or use DVI for your main video card and VGA for the Voodoo, its what i am doing when i get ma new PC

Clements, what drivers for a voodoo2 would you recommend? I've had a couple lying around for a couple years and I only recently put one in. Most of the drivers I've tried from voodoofiles have only resulted in serious problems in XP, which made me have to format. I know that I can't have Direct3D support, but I'm really not looking for that anyway. Just something that'll look good with gl64, PSX emulation ect. ect. Thanks.

Heh heh. Yeah, found that not too long after I posted this. Had to regester at a couple places to get one freaking link, but I finally found that place, and and currently using the 4.0 Gold Drivers. Workin' pretty damn well, though the 4 half moons/suns in Zelda is kinda weird.
