Toca and F1RS on Voodoo2!!!

Well, I have been loading up all kinds of stuff on my 12meg V2 card and a few of them are absolutely incredible! If you've seen Ubisofts SubCulture on a Monster3d card, just wait till you see it on a Voodoo2 board. The way the ocean 'rolls ancks' above you and the sea bed are awesome. But know for the biggies. CPR did run a little faster with the new card and the recent demo(better framerates) and the colors are smoothed out quit a bit, looks a little prettier. I got roughly 40-45 fps down the backstretch at Laguna with the 'no' dash and full details on my P200/32edo/12mg-V2 combo. TOCA, well there is a little better framerates there but nothing to jumpp up and down about. F1RS does not recognize my V2 board when trying to install, we're waiting for a workaround on this from Ubi........... Till later.............. Tony Gaylord

On the F1RS install issue. 3dfx has said that several game manufacturers look for a range of 3dfx cards and then fail if one of those cards is not found. NBA Live 98 also had this problem. I assume that if you already had the game installed (if you had a Voodoo1), then there would be no problem. 3dfx said the game companies would have to update their installers to fix this problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This space intentionally left blank

So, what you're saying is that if we go out and buy new V2 cards, then we might have trouble installing any of the many games out there that were developed originally for the V1? I'm not surprised at this, but it's going to be more than a bit of a pain! -- Doug Gordon (Remove "nospam." from e-mail address) >> Well, I have been loading up all kinds of stuff on my 12meg V2 >>card and a few of them are absolutely incredible!

That p200 a mmx? In any case I must say it does not sound impressive at all :( -- We are the Hosh! You will be assimilated! Lower your defences and surrender!

Correct. if you already had the game installed, then the only problem is to make sure to delete any local copies of GLIDE2X.DLL in the game directory. If you don't, then the game uses the old version of GLIDE that does not support the Voodoo2. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This space intentionally left blank

You probably just need sstinit.dll & glide.dll ? > On the F1RS install issue. 3dfx has said that several game > manufacturers look for a range of 3dfx cards and then fail if one of > those cards is not found. NBA Live 98 also had this problem.
