This get me to discovery another problem, the matay prometheus web site don't work any more and i have lost the prometheus drivers cd.

A: where i can get the prometheus software drivers and picasso96

B: How i can configure the voodoo 4 4500 ?.



A: http://web.archive.org/web/20041205134655/www.matay.pl/developer/en/
but P96 2.1b has been removed long time ago.
B: You have to change the gfxaddress, it isn't the same in 4500 as in 2000/3000.

It should happen automatically during the install process, don't remember the value. PrmScan/PromInfo should show it .

Have you done the Prometheus update 2.5 and installed the latest Voodoo update, both from Wayback/Matay?

As they both (3000 and 4500) have the same default clock, they are equally fast - except 4500 is slower on 2D as the driver doesn't support hardware acceleration on 4500, at least not on all functions where 3000 is supported. It's principally written for 3000 and just happens to work with 4500 - probably after some tweaking. On very big game screens (principally unplayable) 4500 may give ½-1 fps more.
