I guess you won't be running any Warp3D stuff then...

Because the Voodoo card needs to be sitting in the PCI slot closest to the PCI/Zorro bridge, in order to get the PPC demos of the Ward3D package to run. Took me quite some time of testing to find this out, but that is how it is on my system anyway.

If you aren't installing a PPC board you might not experience problems though.

Order of PCI cards do matter, no matter what ELBOX claims.

The Voodoo still works, I have never claimed anything else. You just can't get the PPC demos of Warp3D package to work, or at least I can't.

Feel free to correct me on this one, I wouldn't mind moving my Voodoo card to a different slot.

@Brian

Are you sure you saw the PPC demos running and not only the 68k ones?

@Thomas

Ok, so you say that the PPC demo of Gears work?

Please post your ENVARC for Mediator, PowerPC and Warp3D and the versions of the Picasso96 libraries. And if possible, also your jumper settings for the Mediator bridge board.

As for WipeOut, can you run it in full screen, or are you limited to a window? I always get corrupted graphics on the first screens :-(

Thanks, hopefully I will be able to get it running in my top PCI slot as well.

May I ask which Picasso96 archive you have used? I was told not to use the one included on the OS3.9 CD. And what about the Warp3D drivers? Taken from the MMCD?

Hmm, I guess it is just me then. I tend to avoid using the install scripts on the MMCD as it sometimes installs the wrong libraries, and MedConfig seems to always smash my whole config up so nothing at all is running as it should. That could be a problem with my ppc settings though. I will have to dig into it later.

Did any of you have a PCI soundcard installed? Or TV card?
