There are some known issues with some games not detecting Voodoo2 with
their installers. (some games actually check for cards that are
available and compare them to a list of known cards, commonly ones that
the game developer has QA'd and supports) Many of these types of
problems can be overcome by simply forcing the 3dfx version to install,
or drag-copying the 3dfx version into the directory.

We are working with these developers to get them to upgrade their
installers so you won't have to do this.

I believe the game contains its own version of the glide drivers in
the game's directory. Try renaming those glide drivers and using the
ones that came with the board.

The version I had installed with my previous card works great. No slowdowns with
all options at the highest levels - absolutely stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do you get the damn thing to install 3dfx version in the first place? or
what files do you copy?

The 3Dfx version is automatically installed, even if you don't have a 3Dfx
card (or it doesn't find it...) To run it, you need to run "nbawin.exe
3DFX" from a shortcut (or the command line...). It runs great and looks even
better.
