i got a voodoo 3, wicked GL drivers.
heres the go, i downloaed the newest drivers for my card, then installed the Wicked GL drivers, and it says when i try load CS that my card does not support openGL mode or something like that

Sif dark ages, that was the good ages :)

Assuming that you have made sure you selected the wickedgl driver setting in the opengl drivers/res settings for CS, my only suggestion would be to get different drivers. Odyssey is the one to ask as he has a Voodoo 3 and 2 5's and knows alot about them :)

VooDoo files

Also got the driver disk from when I had my VooDoo3 awhile ago, but that site will have newer drivers.

Also try getting other drivers from here:
http://www.x3dfx.com/

I get mine from here cos their made by a company on the side and the drivers have some really good features :)

They even have drivers so if i buy a Mac, i can flash the bios on my voodoo 5 and run it in MacOS :D *begins to scrimp and scrape every little dollar*

If you ever want new ones get the 3dfx Underground 1.09 drivers. I'm currently using the 1.09.04 beta and they are very good with lots-o-features. They can be used for V3, 4 & 5 and there is Win 98/ME, 2K and XP drivers available.
BTW these drivers allow you to enable/disable the Voodoo3 software AA that was previously fixed to 'ON', in all original drivers (that's if you want to :shock: ).
