Hi, I've tried to play GP3 on a Pentium 233mmx/72 MB (don't have the money yet to buy me a new PC) and with all details off it is running wonderly well! Looks like GP2 back in '96 on stero�ds :-) However, it still runs in the 3D software rendering mode though I have a 3dfx Voodoo installed. The game recognizes it but it is grayed out in the graphic-options menu. I've tried to edit "gconfig.txt" in the GP3-root but the problem is: what to fill in? It looks like this: ;gp3 generated file - do not edit [Software 3d] good 1 8192 3 8192 [S3 ViRGE-DX/GX PCI (375/385)] unavailable 0 0 0 0 [Voodoo Graphics 3D Accelerator] unavailable 0 0 0 0 In the "gp3Readme.txt"-file nothing is said about this "prehistoric" 3D-accelerator. But I can't imagine it can't be used for GP3. Any suggestions? With the help of this card I must be able to increase details/framerate for GP3. Regards, Arthur Barhorst [email hidden]
V1 is only a 4 or 6 Mb card. GP3 need at least 8Mb of Gfx mem.

Gp3 requires a card that has at least 8mb of video ram and the voodoo1 only has 4mb. I don't think there is any way to get it to work with the voodoo1
