****ed up i need some help or suggestions or something

... some1 do something plz i battled with this pos Drivers/tweaks

for days .. im fresh out of ideas
 
yes i have been to voodoofiles.com

and no all their drivers are bullsh*t they are full of bugs (cuz they are all 3rd party and BETA) and to top it off ... they all give u errors with the 3dfx tools ... i hate this Bullsh*t ... they should just hire a new set of programmers to do this.... BTW THE MAIN PROBLEM IS THAT WINDOWS THINKS MY CARD IS PCI WHEN ITS AGP >>> DX8.1 thinks this and wont let me use AGP settings
 
Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and WinXP

Hey Pal, I'm owner of a Voodoo 3 3000 AGP and have XP Pro running on my box.
I've looking through voodoofiles.com and all that junk, and finally found a Driver that works fine.
I mean, with XP Driver, I could not play MOHAA or games like that (Some Glide Errors appears), but with this drivers I'm "Up and Running again".
Look voodoofiles.com for "Amigamerlin 2.1" Drivers on 3rd Party Drivers.
Is the only driver that works for me (I'm AMD T-Bird Owner with an EpoX 8KTA3-Pro Board).
Hope this help you.
Good Luck!
 
And just so you know Voodoo's ARE AGP cards...but they do not use sideband addressing for AGP texture acceleration...in fact a few cards don't use it cause alot fo stuff isn't programmed to take advantage of it

3dfx took some flax for not including support at all but too late to fix that...so yes it is a AGP card, but no you will not have AGP texture acceleration no matter what the driver sorry man.
 
Thank you!

Thanks to Aixman.
Tose VooDoo drivers totally fixed my sons computer.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
