Title: WO2097 demo and Warp3D problems
Post by: balrogsoft on July 23, 2006, 12:26:23 AM

Hi, i have problems with the Demo of Wipeout 2097 from Aminet,   i installed WarpOS and Warp3D, but WO2097 setup window have disabled the hardware driver button, on Warp3D guide mentions that if you are using Warp3D with Picasso96, you must put P96Patch somewhere on startup-sequence or user-startup, but i can't find this patch, i searched on google and i didn't got any link, what is this patch? Warp3D mentions also some env variables, this env variables are text files found on sys:env-archive/prefs? because when i set Virge for the gfxcard then WO2097 don't start only open a empty window. Somebody can help me to configure Warp3D?

My computer specs are:
A1200 Blizzard PPC 603e/240mhz/060/50mhz
Mediator 1200 with a S3 Virge 2mb.
Workbench 3.9 / WarpOS 4.0 / Warp3D 3.0

Thanks in advance.

Can you get the PPC 'Gears' demos to work?  I can only get them to work on the 68K side.

what i can remember from the days when i used a mediator with a voodoo 3 card is that the combination of mediator/w3d was a seriously flawed solution in terms of drivers and compatibility
Eventually i returned to my blizz ppc/bvisionppc+cgx combo.

Did Wipeout want to play on 15bit?

@Zipper

on the bvision with cgx 4 it worked fine on my system, the voodoo 3 does ofcourse not support 15 bit mode(s)

@balrogsoft

why use a S3 Virge ? confusing coz i see you also have a voodoo 3 card according to your signature,wich is lots faster then a crummy s3 virge card.

Had probs with both my A4000 and A1200 mediator equipped but Elbox told me to use an older voodoo.card driver which solved my problems..one of the problems was that 15/16 bit screenmodes didn't work properly

I can confirm that. There are known problems with version 4.26 of the voodoo.card drivers. I immediately changed back to version 4.23 which works like a charm.
