3dfx Glide vs. OpenGL problem

Hi,

All over the internet I see wrappers to trick NON-3dfx cards into thinking that they are. What I need is to trick my Voodoo3 pci 16MB card into thinking it is an OpenGL card. Are there any wrappers for this? and if so, what is the fastest one?

Thnx.

Voodoo3 has a full OpenGL driver. Just make sure you have the newest drivers.

Sorry, I'm still new at posting so I guess I'm not being very clear :p .
I do have the latest driver for my card, but it's an early version of Voodoo3 and it's NOT an AGP card....its a PCI card. I need something to trick it into working with Quake3 type programs. At any rate, no Quake3 programs will work with my card at the moment. I always get the error "Failed to initialize OpenGL subsystem". I have heard that other people have been able to use something called a wrapper to make such programs work, but I'm not THAT entirely good at computers.

Thnx again.

In Quake 3 there is an option to use the 3DFX MiniGL as far as I can remember anyway.

The relevance of PCI to AGP when talking about a Voodoo 3 and it's features is nill.

In the program I'm using (Jedi Outcast) there is no setting for that. I'm afraid that I don't know what MiniGL is. :ermm:

I'm sorry, like I said I'm not very good at computers (older ones anyway).

Almost all Q3 engine games will work with (latest) Opengl ICD (played JK2, Jedi Academy, ST Voy: Elite Force, Alice, Heavy Metal: FAKK2, RTCW) but it's much better to use WickedGL for these games.

Go to http://falconfly.de/voodoo3.htm and grab the latest drivers (AmigaSport 3.0) for your card, then get MesaFX 6.1.0.4 from here. That should work near-perfect for all Quake3 based games. Pretty much the only thing WickedGL does better these days is S3TC textures, since Mesa doesn't have an S3TC license and can't add support.
