Has anyone considered 3Dfx voodoo 1/2 S3 fix for PCem?

Post by RetroGIG94 »

You know I was looking around 3Dfx tools on this website http://falconfly.de/tools.htm

And I found something of interest for the next release for PCem. And it was a "Voodoo1/2 S3 Fix". http://www.falconfly.de/downloads/s3fixv2.zip



I was reading something on here http://falconfly.de/info/readme-s3fixv2.txt and the descrition said "this kit will remap a Voodoo
Graphics or Voodoo2 board to a memory range that will not conflict with
a video board using S3 968/868 video chips."

And while I was testing "Lego Creator" I realized that it only uses the primary video card which is the 2D card (Mach64gx) which is making it slow. (Or maybe it's the 4mb limit of why the game is says it's on Hardware mode due to the voodoo 4MB framebuffer memory limit.)

Anyways I will make a post in "development" about if the devs are thinking about emulating a S3 968/868 card on PCem and ask them if "Voodoo 1/2 S3 fix" is any use for better gameplay for Lego creator on PCem.

I don't get it... do you want PCem to have a new 2D card (968/868) in order to apply the fix so you can play a game?
Why don't you simply choose another 2D card, there are plenty
