Hi,

I have problems with POD and NFS2 that don't recognize that I have a Banshee
Glide card.

Until now I had a Voodoo1 and after only removing the old drivers and
installing Banshee drivers NFS2 ran VERY FAST.
But I now reinstalled the whole PC and on a fresh install of NFS2 and POD
they don't recognize the Banshee or Glide, they only offer me DirectX :-(((

This is REALLY shit as I bought the Banshee instead of TNT to be able to run
the old games with Glide !
As someone stated in another mail, OpenGL and DirectX seem to be much better
standards !

Anyone know if Banshee patches are available for POD and NFS2 ??

Just solved the problem with NFS2.

Just need to copy the file nfs2sea.exe from the CD to the directory where
NFS2 is installed. Besides that you now need to start NFS2 by executing THIS
file

Besides that you need Glide 2.5 or higher. Also the "limit TMU memory "
settings must be set, however Diamond does not have this setting and it
worked fine with me.

Hey I also just bought a banshee because of Voodoo1 being so great and i to
am feeling the sting of NO EA games (Andretti, NFS2SE, Live98, and NFS3) but
all the other games i have like Unreal and FF7 run great! I think this is
all EA's mess.
