Friend's Graphics Card Help

[thepreserver]

Hello. My friend wants to know if there's a way to play Nintendo 64 on his computer. Its his graphics card. It's an NVidia Vanta 16MB. It doesn't support Direct3D, since I looked it up in the DirectX Diagnosis Utility. I told him to get a new card, but I don't think he can since its onboard. Do you think there's a perfect graphics plugin for him that doesn't use Direct3D, or maybe a Direct3D software renderer or something? Help would be appreciated.

The Vanta does support D3D - albeit it's dog slow (near TNT2 quality I think).

Jabos D3D6 may work ok for him, albeit with some glitches and probably slowness to be expected. If D3D apps don't work, then I suggest he update his drivers (to something old, ie don't download the latest ones).

If he doesn't have an AGP slot, then depending on the speed of his computer it may be ok to pick up a cheap PCI card, like a FX5200 or even a Voodoo 3/4/5.

Ok, thanks for your help. I'll tell him that. And maybe find the drivers,lol.
