Rendition ICR2 on Voodoo2?

I am wondering if there is any way to get the rendition version of ICR2 to run on a Voodoo2 card. I've got both versions of the sim. When I bought a new computer I chose the Diamond Monster Fusion Banshee for my 2d/3d card (16MB) and put in a Canopus Pure 3d2 accelerator. The rest of my system is a P2 450 w/128 MB of RAM. All of my other games that has support for 3dfx look and perform great. I just wish I could get the rendition version of ICR2 to run on it. Any help is appreciated, Tom Marshall

Just a quick question, why did you buy a banshee card and a voodoo2 card?

The banshee is a 2d/3d combo with the voodoo2 handling just 3d. Plus the Canopus Pure 3d2 voodoo2 card has TV-out. I've ran the system without the pure 3d2 card in and while the frame rate didn't suffer much, the quality of the 3d effects did.

No! Not the 3d Rendition version. The reason it is called the "Rendition" version is that it works with video cards based on the Rendition chipset. While both 3dfx and Rendition provide 3d capabilities, they go about it in totally different ways, any product designed for either chipset will not work with the other. Even getting ICR2 to run with a 2nd gen Rendition card is a struggle. dave henrie

Is there perhaps a patch to run the game in 3Dfx? D3D? Even OpenGl, so that us Voodoo II users can get some pretty spee and graphics?! Adam

True, but then again, isn't Doom at least that old, and there's a 3Dfx patch for that!

Fair enough. :-)
