Ok a friend of mine who lives with me, has a voodoo 4 4500, he wants to play Max Payne and No One Lives Forever 2, However we can't seem to find a way to play it tried the Armiglaion(sp) drivers and the Dozer drivers Can't seem to get anything to let us Play either of these games someone please help us out here im getting extremly pissed off.
Have you tried these?
3dfx Underground 1.09 Beta 4 Drivers for Windows XP/2K/98 (Voodoo 4/5)
You can also try the drivers from www.omegacorner.com.
What operating system is he using? On my old system, I used to have a Voodoo4 4500 PCI on Windows 98 and Max Payne worked for me (despite having piss-poor framerates) I was using the reference drivers that came with the video card, too. Maybe try installing those...ya never know.
I know for a fact that the Omega 1.03b drivers work for Max Payne. It even improves performance significantly for Max Payne to make it playable. Omegadrivers can be found at www.omegacorner.com
Why doesn't he just buy a new VGA? You can get one for $50 that will stomp a V4 and play those games?
you really are quite the anti-3dfx fellow :pQuote:

I'm not anti-3dfx or something like that. In fact, I'm a loyal 3dfx user. Obviously, you can tell that I'm still using Voodoo5 5500 and it's my primary rig. So don't get me wrong.
Honestly, if you're intended to use Voodoo for games. I think either you should change your mind or not have a high expectation. The driver is a really big issue here.
Son its time for that talk-no, not about the facts of life, but about upgrading.
LOL SBP -
As great as the 4500 (wasn't) in it's day, you are right, it's time for a new VGA.

Well, that's for GAMERS. As a university student who only uses it for school research and assignment like me, I feel there is no need for any upgrade.
sbp was talking about the guy with the Voodoo4500 - try reading the title of his post.Quote:

Whoops, I did forget to say what os. Sleep deprivation gets to you after a while.
Its on XP when he wakes up today Ill have him try, the omega drivers. Ill go have a look at them now. Thanks for you're help I will let everyone know how it goes. As for him getting a new card, its underway he just has to get the cash for one.
3dfx Underground 1.09 Beta 4 Drivers for Windows XP/2K/98 The links are down on these one's however im sure ill find a link. Im just going to get them on my HD so I can send em to em when he wakes up.
People are still using 3DFX cards? I got a couple of those laying aroundlol, although I lovec them in the past isnt using one of those kinda like trying to Polish a Turd?
I totally agree, why would anyone want to use a 3dfx card now? Its just pointless to much hassle for what? I'v given him the lecture already.
BTW- your life is probably worth more than a VGA that has a value of about $15 these days...
I just installed the Dozer 1.0 drivers on my Voodoo5 5500, PIII 500,WinXP machine. I was surprised to fire up Day of Defeat and play at the usual 70 + fps. I tried the Amigamerlin drivers and had alot of problems with other games. I'm super impressed with how well these drivers work. Squeezing a little more life out of my two year old investment.:) I'm happy.
