1) Where did you pickup your caps Oscar?

2) Yes I did try that with no luck (no opengl found), I'm sure there are some parameters that have to be set to get it running I think looking at some notes.

Next step is trying a D3D glide/opengl wrapper, I tried one years ago that was very good and need to remember which one it was.

P.S. Anyone know how to fool Windows into reporting that the graphics card is DX compliant?

Try setting the brightness:


The DAC dongle inverts the signal and voltage. Set the brightness to a negative level (at least in theory).

I've got another idea to boost the image. Open the UT console by pressing tab/tilde, type preferences and hit enter. A menu named Advanced Options should open. Head to the section Rendering and then Direct3D Support. There is an option that is called UseGammaCorrection. By default this is set to True, you should set it to False.



The contrast is bad, so this might help.

Did you try renaming 3dfxogl.dll to opengl32.dll? This should work for some games e.g. Quake3 engine based.

Ok.

I will send you some test-patterns to see how the voltage output is.

Old screen shots.






New screen shots using "print screen" keys in game,

Now I'm baffled again.

Looking back at some old screen shots I clearly had some access to 3dfx tools, now I don't no matter what nor will 3dmark99max load and give any information.

Something with the different driver I'll have to explore further.

Changing gamma in Unreal or UT had no effect- Slide the slider to the left it gets dark, slight to the right maximum brightness. I tried setting gamma correction to false with no effect. Even tried changing gamma values directly but I guess 1.0000 is as high as the engine allows.

Tried the following games:

Nglide wrapper- works (assume any glide title below run with this wrapper)

Turok- No device detected till wrapper was installed and then detects 3dfx, starts to load and fails.

Tomb Raider demo- Works (but looks like blocky poo, 320 x 240 I think)

Tomb Raider II- Only detects software mode, D3D greyed out.

NFL Blitz- Fails glide or D3D mode

Decent 3- No D3D detected, glide launch fails with opengl error.

MDK- When launching D3D version, warning "no device detected" pops up. Software test runs stupid fast though.

3D Analyzer: only works to fool game into thinking there is a TnL engine, still needs opengl to operate.

GLQuake and Quake III were no go with wrapper, but I tried.

Did timedemo 1 in Unreal, screen to dark/blurred to make out any numbers.

GPU-z crashes out, Everest just reports what is in the inf file I think.

1) I'll have to fool about with that, I didn't have any luck last night.

2) I thought that too, but some of the games and demos I tired don't have a software engine (Like the Quantum3D OpenGVS or Half Life or the D3D tunnel test) Unreal clearly shows Direct3D is the rendering engine being used. Just rough drivers would be my guess.

You can check if V-Control is runnig. The fsaa can be set with this too
