Just got a new system with a voodoo 3 2000 card I copied GPL from my old HD. I changed the rasturizer.dll in the INI file to the 3dfx vers. When I load the game I get the 3dfx logo and then it boots me back to winblows.!! HELP please!!!

Try reinstalling GPL on the new machine then copy over top of it with the one from the old drive. Jason.

I tried that but it seems the CD doesn't work anymore. How can I get GPL working without the CD now? Is there a glide file that I have to put into the GPL directory?

Oh, I forgot: Download and install the GPL patch from www.papy.com / /

Make sure there is not an old glide2x.dll in your GPL directory. Get the latest voodoo3 drivers from www.3dfx.com Disable the voodoo3 logo (control panel-display-settings-advanced-3dfx tweaks-disable the splash screen) Get GPL Fix from http://www.the-fastlane.com/patches.htm Here's the description: Apparently, the game's installer actually adds some system services to your registry (that's what those .SYS files were), and special registry entries have to be made to force the services to load. The appropriate registry entries will be created, and the two system services (PAPYCPU.SYS and PAPYJOY.SYS) will be copied to the proper location. The Fast Lane also has a no-cd patch. Good Luck! / / Rolf

I believe that transfering the game from one hard drive to a new one will not work. I think you need to do a new installation of the game to allow the setup process to make changes to your system files. Then you can transfer your old cars, sound, setups, etc. to the new install. I just upgraded to a P3 - 600 with Voodoo 3 and everything is fine. Do not forget to install the patch or else your GPL screens will be a mess! I think you said in another post that you "lost" your cd. Try to borrow one or go buy a new one. I hope this helps you.
