----------- ** flash ?  news **------------

 

 

3DFX {voodoo1 api} is contained in the  GF3 NVIDIA graphics chipset !!

 

Tomb Raider 1 {Blue and Gold 1 CD's}

or the

Tomb Raider 1 {Gold Cd 2}  Unfinished Business/Shadow of the Cat (UB levels) {free for the download}

 

work fine with the Hercules 3D Prophet III geforce 3 {Guillemot} and have a graphics quality almost comparing to Tomb Raider II !

 

 


Tomb Raider 1 - Shadow of the Cat - Unfinished Business


 

particulars on getting the GF3 to run 3dfx games: NOT using GLIDOS with this GF3/3dfx setup

 

 

use:

3dfx tomb.exe and 3dfx tombub.exe

do not use the " RUSH " Tomb.exe"

 

3dfx tomb.exe  {1.08 meg}

3dfx tombub.exe {847 k}

 

use:  listed batch files  with 3dfx tomb.exe and tombub.exe

 

I start Tomb.exe and Tombub.exe by double clicking the batch file associated with each program in windows explorer opened to the Tombraid folder.

 

-OS:  Windows 98 sr2  4.10.2222A

 

-Herc: driver version:  3D Prophet III  4-20-2001  Nvidia Corporation 4.13.01.1241

 

- GF3 settings:

 1024x768x32 @85hz

 FSAA:  Quincunx Antialiasing

 display / colour correction gamma .9 {on OS startup}

 digital vibrance set up one notch from far left.

 

use {run} setup located in tombraid folder

sound card: sblive - legacy drivers installed/ original from cdrom install.

used awe-32 in Tomb setup.

** make sure your setup.exe located in the Tombraid folder will run and config your Tomb Raider 1 and UB ** this is an important step to verify your sound card will work properly.

3dfx savegames work fine !

 

3Dfx Jane's F15 works excellently !!
