NextGL is using OpenGL and Voodoos are crap along with OpenGL.
But...more than 3FPS should be possible. MiniGL-Driver installed correctly?

I think Voodoo5 uses OpenGL, not miniGL like old 3dfx cards(although the OpenGL support is not very good).

These are instructions on how to get opengl working, I copied them directly from pete's OGL readme. (I used to have a voodoo2 and this is how I got opengl to work...however D3D is much better for high-end voodoo cards).


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have a 3DFX add-on card (I have a Riva TNT/GeForce and a Voodoo II/III,
so I could test both) and you want to use OpenGL with it, you should place the
3DFX "opengl32.dll" from the 3DFX OpenGL SDK in your PSEmu Pro directory, don't
overwrite the original Microsoft dll in your System directory! You can get
that SDK from the 3DFX server (www.3dfx.com), just search for "OpenGL SDK".
Hint: Rename the "3dfxopengl.dll" into "opengl32.dll".
Don't use a MiniGL driver

I dont get it...I found my opengl32.dll..so I just copy and paste it on my ePSXe folder?

[liquid]

yes, just place the renamed 3dfxopengl.dll into the same folder as the epsxe.exe.
Btw...those instructions were written before ePSXe came out, you can find them at the bottom of every OpenGL readme by pete. Sadly 3dfx never came out with a proper openGL ICD before their demise so these instructions are still good to this day.

I have found that Petes ogl gpu works rather well with my voodoo 5.. It's not as fast as D3d or GLide but it's not as slow as Next GL.. I am using some new hacked XP drivers though.. UPdated 3dfx drivers have better OGL support.. Imagine if 3dfx didnt' die, they could've made OGL support on voodoo 5's even better.. :(

[ToM_E]

still 2 and 3 fps...that sucks.

liquid, these instructions you mentioned are for 3DFX add-on cards only(it's written there). Voodoo5 is a main card, not an add-on one, so this should not be the case. This trick only work for Voodoo1/2 or any Voodoo PCI cards.
