Download the certified Voodoo 4/5 drivers for DX8. Run the setup, it will ***** about no INF, but let it go. Reboot and manually change the driver in Device Manager to 3dfx Voodoo Series. Reboot, install Directx8 and you are flying. Works AMAZINGLY.

Device Manager > Display adapters > 3dfx interactive,Inc. Voodoo series driver > Driver(tab)>Driver details...
Compare the installed driver(for ogl,glie2x,...)versions with the ones from the readme.txt list,they are the
same.

I have a VooDoo 3 3000 and I installed the drivers and it seemed to have made my games more choppy. I am shure I am doing it right but it was worth a try. either get more preformace or I dont..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the antialiase options doesn't do anything for the v3 right? Because the v3 doesn't support antialiase. Or is it a DirectX function?

Creative screwed up their stupid drivers.
YOU HAVE TO SET BASIC Acceleration for the Audio to completely work but if you try to use some EAX your speakers will crackle..
ALl the video problems were fixed by that..
WTF!!!
Anyways My computer crashes after about an hour of gameplay of either Homeworld, homeworld cataclyst and RED ALERT 2...
IF I use voodoo 4/5 drivers they will make it crash in 2 mins!!
