Voodoo 2 Color Pallette Wrong

[DJM...@axnet.com]

I purchased a Creative Labs Voodoo 2 12MB Card. Whenever I try to run old
DOS 3DFX games, like Tomb Raider and Screamer 2, I get these awful color
schemes of pruple and green, and what looks like interference on the screen.
Has anybody else noticed this? Does anybody know how to solve the problem?
If anybody has seen this or knows how to solve it, I would appreciate a
resonse. I think it has something to do with the AUTOEXEC.BAT Strings that
used to exist with the old voodoo cards and were needed to run the dos 3dfx
games. But the CL Voodoo 2 card does not insert them. If anybody can tell
me anything more about this, I would appreciate it. If I find a solution I
will post it. I am working on it presently. Thanks

Use this as a bat file (TombV2.bat for example)
--------------------------
@ECHO OFF
CLS
SET SST_GRXCLK=90
SET SST_FT_CLK_DEL=0x4
SET SST_TF0_CLK_DEL=0x6
SET SST_TF1_CLK_DEL=0x6
SET SST_VIN_CLKDEL=0x1
SET SST_VOUT_CLKDEL=0x0
SET SST_TMUMEM_SIZE=2
SET SST_SCREENREFRESH=60
SET SSTV2_FASTMEM=1
SET SSTV2_FASTPCIRD=1
SET FX_GLIDE_ALLOC_COLOR=3
tomb.exe
--------------------------
This will make Tomb Raider think it's using a Voodoo1.
I don't know if this helps Screamer 2, though.
Gee, I haven't even TOUCHED Screamer 2 since I got a V2... :)
I think I'll go play it again and see if it screws up the colors.
Copy the .bat file to your S2 directory and see if it helps. (replacing tomb.exe with
s2_3dfx.exe)
If you have Screamer Rally, there's a patch that fixes the lock-ups and wrong colors.
You can get it (if you need it) at:
ftp.op3dfx.com/pub/game_patches/screamer_rally/Sr3dfx2.exe
or:
ftp.cdrom.com/.21/3dfxmania/patches2/sr3dfx2.exe

Yup, I got exactly those green and purple blues from my Monster II when
running GLQuake. bit of a bugger, isn't it?
