Me too... I hope the original boxed copy which should be dropping through my letter box this Friday does work! If not, I think it's time for a new graphics card... On the brighter side, even with my ancient ATI Mach 64 (2Mb PCI 2D graphics card), in software mode it's every bit as quick as GP2 is. No slow down, even at Monaco. This is with an Intel Celeron 500Mhz. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:8lm98a$6eo$[email hidden]...

Even though you may not have 2 Voodoo2 cards, have you tried editing the cards.txt file per the readme file? Instead of setting the value of slivoodoo2 to 1, try setting it to 0. That might be enough to at least get your card recognized. It's worth a try. If not, try the latest reference drivers from 3Dfx. My Voodoo 2 SLI set-up runs GP3 just fine. [email hidden] wrote:

Andre, I posted this before as well. I have 2 Voodoo2's, each is 12 Megs. 1 is an STB Blackmagic. The other is a 3Dfx V2-1000. Bert Andre Warringa wrote:

Do you have to create cards.txt yourself ? With my single 8Mb Diamond V2, I have no cards.txt and in the the other .txt file (can't remember the name - the one that looks like it lists teh results of the calib test), I have entries for sofware mode, my main card, and my V2, but my both entries other than than s/ware have "unavailable" against them Anyone have any luck with a single 8Mb V2 ?

Thomas This registry entry does indeed make GP3 allow my Diamond 8Mb V2 card to be selected in the graphics options - so well done, indeed !! For me however, it gives corrupted and missing textures and so on (latest 3dfx drivers, Dx 7.0), so I'm still in s/ware mode. But congrats on finding this anyway !

I checked this on my Voodoo2 12Mb in SLI. Nope. Still Voodoo2 looks like software mode with greater CPU hit. Anybody knows a solution.
