Title: Warp3D, WarpUP P96, prometheus, Voodoo 3 2000 etc etc
Post by: redrumloa on February 28, 2004, 04:32:16 AM

I am trying to get Warp3D up and running on my setup.

Currently:
A4k w/CSPPC
96MB Fast
Prommy w/voodoo3 2000
WarpUp 5
Warp3D 4.2
Basic OS3.9


Somethings not right, not even the Warptest demo works. It just exits. 68K gears demo crashes and ppc gears demo gives me an empty box.

Ideas?

Is there a warp3D version for the prommy? Didnt know there was if so. On the mediator I just install from the installer script and all is good. You didnt just install the aminet version did you? Need to make sure its built for your system.

Do you have the Promupdate installed? :-)

Don't make me slap you 2 :-P

Yes there is a Warp3D driver for Prommy(Voodoo3) and yes the prommy/voodoo is installed.

Still no luck, weirdness. I have an ultra basic OS3.9 setup. This must be something simple because it simply isn't working at all.

Ideas?

Do you have the archive from the Prometheus support page? I can't remember if there was a special version or not.

Also, did you somehow rename the screenmodes? Warp3D uses the screenmode name ("Prometheus") to find out what card it is running on.

Other than that, unless you have some patches installed that might interfere, I don't see any reasons why this shouldn't work.

@Rogue

Thanks for the response, I figured it out yesterday. I somehow must have gotten confused and installed an older version of P96. I also needed to manually change the env settings.

I must say, your games I have tried so far on this setup is extremely impressive. Quake II, Freespace and Heretic II(Demo) absolutely fly.

So you got it working then? Good to hear if so. Try payback with WarpOS and hardware mode! Its a huge speedup for me! I dont like Freespace, but quake does work well when I  had it installed. I was thinking of putting it back again.
