GPL demo problems

Thought I'd give this a whirl, but ran into some *** problems.

First, the Voodoo5 is not recognized, when choosing '3dfx' the
game just won't start. I did get the D3D patch to work but that
looks rather ugly. I tried to apply the official game patch in hope
for an updated rast3dfx.dll, but for obvious reasons I couldn't
apply it. Is there such an updated DLL available somewhere?

Secondly, the sound is all distorted. In the options, all the check-
boxes for the sample rates are greyed out, and it does sound like
2bit/4KHz. Is there a way to force the use of a certain sample rate
through any of the INI files? Mind you, the soundcard works great
in other games (F12K, GP3, EECH ...).

Thanks,   Jan

How big was the demo ...?

It should be 18mb and from www.papy.com

there are two others floating about of about 12mb each that wouldn't work
for me.
