Thanks guys, but I think you misunderstood my question

What I was hoping to find out is that whenever Glide emulator can co-exist with physical, actual 3dfx Voodoo card(s) on the same system without conflicts.

And was also hoping to hear your experiences regarding virtual, emulated 3dfx cards. Since I can't seem to find the Voodoo5, I was thinking of emulating one using GeForce4 4200 (or better?) card, under Win98. According to their website only XP (and newer) OS are supported, however someone recently pointed out (don't remember who, it might have been someone on YouTube) how nGlide will work perfectly OK under 98SE, as long as the hardware has enough muscle to drive the entire thing.

As for your input regarding OpenGL and Glide @stinger608 , I suppose it's all down to personal taste & choice. For me Glide holds a special & sentimental value but only because of what it represents. And also because it brings back memories of my childhood, otherwise I would probably go with OpenGL myself. I can't really speak from the programmer's point of view, but it felt more reliable & compatible with various hardware brands, while the Glide was exclusive & only reserved for 3dfx.

Besides nGlide how about Glidos? The website might still be a useful resource. http://www.glidos.net/

 

[Trekkie4]

Thanks, I might give it a try!

However, judging from their website, only several titles are being officially supported, while nGlide is almost universal, for hundreds of Glide-powered games from back in a day. Games like Unreal, Deus Ex, Carmageddon 2, NFS2 SE, etc.

Had a heatsink retention bracket fail on a A64 system so thought I would picture it

Donor board is all original and works fine, the K8NXP-9 has been pretty much completely recappped with Panasonic FR series. The DPS module has too been recapped and southbridge fan bearing oiled.

This system came out of some horrible lot I got off someone who lived in some sort of cat ridden cesspit, its pretty clean now but not perfect despite everything being stripped down and scrubbed in soapy water.

3500+ @ 2.4Ghz
2GB Geil PC3200
7800GTX
160Gb Sata Drive

PSU inspected as fine but I will recap it at some point.

Empty bay is from a Live Drive that didn't have the correct card or cables, will possible resurrect that at some point.

And heres my Voodoo 3 2000 which I think is the bit of hardware that is responsible for my hardware addiction, still works as good as it did when new and likes its new home in the Dell.

Cheers

Not super nostalgic, but a matching pair of MSi 6800's in my pc part bin.

Oh, and this guy. ATI X1300 Pro mint condition lol

 

[stinger608]

Okay, so I posted this in the video card section but wanted to see if any of my fellow nostalgic system members would know the answer to this:

Okay, building an old nostalgic liquid cooling system using a pair of BFG's 8800 GTX water cooled cards.

One of the blocks are leaking due to a bad seal. They are not regular o'rings otherwise, I could find them locally.

These were a Danger Den water block. Of course, Danger Den is no longer in business so I'm not sure where in the heck to find these seals!

These are the cards for reference:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143079


Been doing some research and am not finding anything!

Anyone know where a person could possibly find the seals? They are almost like a square o'ring but there are some specialized designs to the seals.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Stinger, If you don't find it, you can make your own seal, buy the cord http://www.theoringstore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=117_119 , cut it to size and use Cyanoacrylate (instant glue) to fix the ends, with a buna 70 I think you can make it.

Welcome to TPU @deflipe !!! Glad you found us here.

 

[MaxiPro800]

Got a Xbox for real cheap.

Had a FUBAR EEPROM (ring was flashing red) and a missing HDD. Thankfully, I had a dead donor board and its matching HDD (a 10GB Seagate ST310211A) and so I could bring it to life. As for the old case,it's in the trash now. The case in here was made from both a dead 1.0 and a dead 1.6b. The PCB (along with the PSU and DVD-ROM) is a v1.4. (Winbond TSOP,Focus chip and Samsung SDG-605B DVD-ROM)

Does anyone else than me think the case quite matches my pants' color?

Amen to that, the 6000 model is considered to be holy grail in the terms of 3dfx!! @Artex

Not to mention being worth a small fortune.

 

[Artex]

Thanks all! Definitely my favorite piece of hardware in my collection and took a while to find!

 

[stinger608]

and took a while to find!

Oh man, I'll bet that right!!!!

 

[Boatvan]

A gift I made for my boss (super late Christmas gift). Vacuum tubes, floppy's, old mouse, an old calculator, and a mix of used and unused punch cards.

 

[hertz9753]

I have some stuff.

 

[AsRock]

I have some stuff.

Remember those, i had a PR150 which ran 120Mhz, dam now they were HOT! chips haha.

 

[deflipe]

Buy it for 25dls in "Persa Bio Bio, Santiago, Chile" working perfectly and with a control series A. Its appearance is wonderful, it is added to my collection.
