I made the inevitable move to windows XP, and now I no longer have access to the 3dfx "Glide" mode and OpenGL.

Can someone help?

btw -- voodoo3 2000 pci :(

Failing that, get a new card...

In your situation, preferably an ATI...

I already tried looking through there. Amigamerlin screwed up my glide mode so I had to install 3dhq over it to fix. :(

Also, I don't have $$ at the moment to get an ATI card or nVidia at the moment.. but I need something that meets these specs:

i don't think that there's any suport for Glide in winXP, voodoo graphics cards are just too old and nvidia does what it can to burry all of 3dfx existence.

Aight, I'll check that out.

edit: I still don't get Glide. Now I just get a black screen, but I can alt-tab out of it.

Also, I get a few "Couldn't register module" errors.

Just a small update.. I did manage to get another non-Quake app to run under Glide, but I just get a black screen (more like vis. purple) when I start fuhquake. Perhaps my computer hates me.

If that's the case, I'll be redirecting my bug-reporting focus to software mode.

Try to get a Geforce 2 mx original or mx400, they're pretty decent (my old one snagged me 100+fps in fuh with 32bit textures, in 1024x768 16bit or 800x600 32bit, it had 32mb ram)

Either that or dualboot win9x.. Glide support in XP is horrible.

How much for the MX400? And, where? I have the $$$, I don't know where to get one though.

The MX200 was a "Verto" one. My opinion... don't trust Verto.

Around here you can buy GF4MX440 cards (which are roughly 2.5x faster than GF2MX400 cards) for like $60 CAD, which is like $40 usd or something, this is more than enough to run fuhquake in 1280x960 with maxed out quality. Just make sure it's not a MX440SE.. then it'll pretty much max out your system. Since GF2MX cards are only like $10 cheaper I don't think it's worth it, but then again $10 step up from a GF4MX will get you something much better.. and $10 step above that will get something even better, if you only play quake the GF4MX440 is more than enough though.

I got a 733MHz Celeron, not a 1.5GHz Pentium 4! :D

Anyhow, I'll check it out. I may go back to the shops soon to see if I can't get it, otherwise I'll just look online.

End of topic.

for €60 you can easily get a GFFX 5200, you will be able to play most of the games around so why buy a miserable gf4mx ?
