Or get them from http://seldzar.dhs.org they aren't going anywhere from that site anytime soon =)

Well considering I have an ABIT BP6 I'll hold off on the Asus bios upgrade =) But I will look into an ABIT bios upgrade.

You may want to try the 3dsetup file from Fifa2000 that works in Win2k Rc2 for me but alas Nhl2k and Fifa2k both generate errors when I attempt to play them. =( [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited 19 October 1999).]

Yes I got it working with the drivers on the website mentioned above. However, attempting to load a saved game immediately brings you right back to your desktop. Might not happen for you but who knows =)

The SMP support in the Mx300 drivers is absolute ****! Turning down the hardware acceleration helps a little with 2114, however in rc2 a duel cpu situation with those Mx300 drivers causes a VERY unstable system. In my experience with a Bp6 and duel 366's with rc2 was that after about 1 explorer click and one icq uh-oh the sound would die and anything accessing directsound would crash. It ran fine with 1 cpu but adding the second one was downgrading my system performance due to instability.

Perhaps you may wish to try these voodoo3 drivers http://seldzar.dhs.org I haven't tried Rollarcoaster Tycoon, but i will give it a shot right now! Update: works fine for me =) [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited 18 October 1999).]

Ok heres the problem, i'm assuming your using the newest nvida drivers for your TNT. If this is the case then the reason AOE2 is not working is cause direct draw is disabled. Games like AOE2 do not use D3D or OpenGL or Glide to draw the game on your screen. Any games that don't use the 3 3D API's use Direct Draw. With Direct draw being disabled, it's not gonna work =(. Direct Draw is not disabled in voodoo3's therefore that is why voodoo3 owners don't have any problems(like myself). Rc3 should fix these issues. P.S. In regards to the Duel CPU and Mx300, I had an mx300 and it crashed win2k more than win98 ever crashed. Th solution? I sold my Mx300 and got an sblive. =) [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited 17 October 1999).] [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited 19 October 1999).]

Hey, don't know if this is any help but I did grab a MS Sidewinder game pad pro USB and it works in Motocross madness fine. How ever there are a few funky bugs. I played a national that wasn't compiled properly and instead of booting me to the menu or out of the game it restarted the pc. Also I won my first race with the new gamepad and it rebooted my pc. =) Kinda wierd, i'm sure it's not sidewinder related but amusing none the less.

I've managed to have my voodoo3 3000 clocked fairly high(183) with the standard voodoo3 overclocker, however i did experience a few viual "anomolies" If you want to try it out grab it from http://home.istar.ca/~jha_tam It's places it in your display properties/settings tab/advanced. Good luck.

SMP doesn't work with q3 and a voodoo3 cause your using a opengl ICD for windows 9x so it has no SMP support.

You know its really not nice to insult the moderator of the forum your searching for information from. If you even managed to get your voodoo3 working well in win2k with that inf you should thank SHS for all his hard work in making it. But I'm sure you'd rather remain ignorant and assume that english is the primary language of all the world. It's not nice being insulted is it? However, sometimes some people desrve it.

Steveman09 what kinda crack are you smoking?? I am running the EXACT same setup(except a Voodoo3 3000 and a IBM deskstar GXP 14.4) If you believe any of what you say, man are you in trouble. Let's start with Stingrays first problem. The ATA/66 controller simply needs to be setup properly. The boot sequence, in your bios, must be set to EXT(for external). Then where it says "EXT means or stands for"(or something to that effect, I'm not exactly in my bios right now) this must be set to your ATA66 controller. With that your drive will be checked as the first boot device. The present fix for your voodoo3 involes using the build 2114 voodoo3.dll/sys drivers. You can download the complete Zip from http://home.istar.ca/~jha_tam Start by clearing out all drivers you have put in and reinstall the files in the zip from within device manager. I am currently running glide/d3d/opengl FINE with my duel celerons, which are overclocked to 528mhz each. Please think before you respond, to a common problem on this message board, with your uninformed ridiculous babble. Microsoft has stated they have no issues with duel celerons and why should they? They are in the software business not the cpu business. Windows master my ass, go back to school. [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited October 11, 1999).]

I'd say go with the voodoo3 cause if a game doesn't work in opengl or d3d it may have a glide option. As well as the fact that the voodoo3 seems to be the card that works best in win2k.

I've tried both, it doesn't work under plug & play OS or non plug and play OS. One thing i noticed is that win2k does notice my tablet on the com port in device manager but the driver isntallation doesn't detect it. [This message has been edited by Seldzar (edited October 10, 1999).]

I have had the same kinda problems, my wacom penparter worked fine in 2072 and 2114 but as soon as installed rc2 it now will not detect it =( The resources in my bios are the same as assigned to my com ports but it just don't get recognized when i attempt to install the drivers.

I know there are win2k drivers for your hollywood+, I got them from http://www.dvdutils.com. Check it out, it should be under sept 28th. If you can't find them I will update my win2k files page with them. http://home.istar.ca/~jha_tam

Excellent!! I was begining to wonder what was going on here =)

Thank you, simple and concise. I didn't think it supported smp.

You still didn't tell me what color depth your desktop was in when you tried to play the game. Make sure its in 16 bit color.

yes i am running build 2128 and you seemed to have missed the most important step you didn't delete the OLD voodoo3.sys and dll. You see windows will recognize that the drivers are newer and won't install the new(old 2114) ones........uninstall your card from within device manager and then reboot into safe mode and follow the directions exactly....

what color depth was your desktop in?.......and how did you install the fix?

Did you read my previous post? DOWNLOAD the file tited voodoo3 drivers for win2k at the above URL. Unzip the file to a temporary directory. Reboot into safe mode. Delete voodoo3.sys and voodoo3.dll thats in your x:\winnt\sytem32 and x:\winnt\system32\drivers directories. Go to device manager (right click my computer, select the hardware tab and then click device manager) In device manager get the properties of you voodoo 3 under Display Adapters and select the driver tab. In the driver tab select update driver and select display a list of known drivers. Click the have disk button and point it to your temp folder which has the contents of the zip file you downloaded from the above URL. The rest is quite simple, finish the install and reboot.

Go here: http://home.istar.ca/~jha_tam Get the Voodoo3 drivers and reboot into safe mode then delete you voodoo3.sys and .dll Then reinstall the voodoo3 drivers in the zip file through device manager. Reboot and your done!

What i wnat to know is where did this unreal supports smp come from? I would actually like to see some proof of that as well as how to enable it.

Anyone had any sucess with the Wacom Penpartner? In 2114 I had it working fine with the latest win9x drivers, however as soon as I formatted and put in rc2 it won't detect it on either com1 or com2. Both com ports are detected by windows and seem to be installed fine. The pad works fine in Win98.
