It works! A little more involved than your usual driver install, but if you follow the directions, it should work:

I even have my gamma, tv, etc tabs in the advanced display settings!
Haven't benched anything, but seems to be normal perfomance, haven't noticed any problems!

Thanks isaacg, those drivers work great!
 
I was pulling my hair out over the default XP Voodoo 3 drivers - just like going back in time to Windows 2000 - but these work great!
 
Thanks man!

So, the Voodoo 3 is *fully* functional in XP? Like it runs in D3D, OpenGL, and Glide w/o any errors using the G.O.D drivers?

I haven't done a lot of testing, but Q3A, Counter Strike, UT & Max Payne all seem to work just fine.

To any Voodoo 4 users who have gotten these drivers to work:
 
Did you do something special to get these drivers running?! I've installed them several times only to get the same error... something about conflicting .inf and .ini files. When the installation finishes, I get an error from XP saying that the device could not start. Has anyone had a similar problem? Please let me know how to fix this.

Ok, i use V3 2000, and a lot of games. Both with GOD and other (don't remember exactly driver's set author) drivers i try - OGL and Glide games work perfect, but D3D games - especially Red Faction and Arcanium DROPS TO BLUE SCREEN after about 3-5 min of gameplay.
 
Diagnosis is "endless loop in 3dfxvs.dll detected".
 
Microsoft and mWare drivers for w2k don't have such problem... as well as OGL and Glide support.

i got a V5 5500 and it works great
but NOT with the original drivers!
i use version 1.01 beta for windows 2000 and the voodootools out of version 1.04
and that works great
the original drivers and also version 1.04 gives you errors in some games, 1 of the games is deltaforce LW
1 big problem, the drivers arn't anywhere (as far i know) avalible for downloading, if anyone want them, lat me know, i got them heheh

hi, i made drivers for the voodoo 3500
that makes the TV work!!!
i spent 4 hours on it!
get it at my yahoo briefcase,
feel free to give it to other 3500 users :):).
 
address:
http://briefcase.yahoo.com/iceteaal
 
once you go to the briefcase,
go to folder "my documents" then download both the files
there,
unrar, read the instructions.txt file.
 
don't forget to uninstall all the drivers (the voodoo 3 one)
and the tv drivers which is called: 3dfx Voodoo3TV WDM
and is in "sound, video and game controllers", and
also 3dfx tools. restart after the uninstall. then install my drivers.
