Did anyone with a Diamond Monster V2 8mb card, or the SLI combination,
get it working in GP3? And... h-o-w ?
Thanks,
Andre
Did you try the SLI flag as described in the readme?
Well I didn't have to, it recognized my 12MB V2 immediately.
The resolution is limited to 800x600 though. They apparently
have no clue.
Blaze
Yes, I did that, but after that it still didn't reckognize my V2 card.
Just to test it I then removed the SLI flag again, and turned SLI off.
Still not working... :(
What brand is your card btw?

I forgot an 's', that's two Diamond Monster2's here.
Therefor my remark about the resolution; with 12MB SLI it
should allow for 1024x768. Just in case, the drivers report
as D3D Driver Version 4.12.01.1151.

I'm that other guy.
My 2 Voodoo2's are:
1 STB BlackMagic and 1 3Dfx Voodoo 2000. I know, I know -- I'm lucky that I got
2 different manufacturer's cards to work together, but the STB card was
supposedly the one least "modified" by other manufacturers. As I reacll, I
originally ahd problems setting them up together, but once I got things ironed
out, I've had no problems since with any game. (Knock Wood). BTW, even with
this set up, GP3 only runs in 800x600 max, but runs smoothly. (after doing the
card.txt thing.)
I'm using the latest (at least I think they are) reference drivers and DirectX
7a.
If you need more specific info let me know, but please be specific as to where I
can find it (ie - exact driver versions etc.).
Wish that I could be more help to you.
Good Luck.

I think I may have found the problem... when I go to my Directx setup,
I saw that I had an older D3D version 3.11.something.
When I read the readme file from the 3dfx reference drivers, it says
that it will install the D3D 3.12.something version.
Yet, after I install the 3dfx ref drivers, I still have D3D
3.11.something.
When I go to my window properties I have two menus for my Monster SLI:
One from Diamond and one from 3DFX V2-1000.
I think that the Diamond drivers may conflict.
There is afaik no uninstall option for those diamond drivers.
Does anyone know how I can completely uninstall those diamond drivers,
so that the diamond menu isn't in my properties menu anymore, and that
all diamond registry entries will be gone?
Bert, just to make sure, what is your D3D version?
Go to Program Files -> DirectX -> Setup -> DXDiag -> go to the menu
which mentions the Voodoo 2 DirectX 7 driver -> on the right side of
that screen is the version (for me it's 4.11.01.1151, it should be
4.12.something)
Andre
PS: Just downloaded the ISO (full cd version), it's exactly 100% the
same at the warez version, except the ISO has an intro movie.
No other car sounds, no split axis...

Yes, that's the one that are installed with the driver package from
3dfx. Pretty funny, since I'm using the 27 Jan 2000 driver as well.
I've just doublechecked but no typo, it says 4.12. ... here.
