29 years ago today, Orchid Technology announced the first 3Dfx Voodoo-based card, the Orchid Righteous 3D. It reached retail shelves in October. https://dfarq.homeip.net/the-first-3dfx-card-orchid-righteous-3d/ #3DFX #GamingHistory #RetroGaming #GraphicsCard #TechAnniversary #VideoGameMilestone #PCGaming #Nostalgia #RetroComputing

Ok... THIS is the last addition to this build then 
Graphics cards didn’t always handle 3D rendering. Early computers relied on the CPU for graphics, but that changed with the IBM 8514/A in 1987—the first graphics accelerator. It offloaded 2D tasks like line drawing and fills, freeing up the CPU.
As demand for better visuals grew, companies like Tseng Labs and S3 improved GUI acceleration in the late '80s and early '90s. But it was 3dfx’s Voodoo (1996) that truly revolutionized gaming, introducing hardware-accelerated 3D rendering and real-time texture mapping, setting the stage for modern GPUs.
#QEMU is becoming one of my favorite #FOSS projects. Some reasons why:
- it's a de-facto reference tool for #linux VM framework (KVM), making it essential for cloud development and even deployment
- you can plug in a debugger and debug OS kernels with it
- it's cross-arch capable - you can run software for different CPUs with it
- it can run #windows98 with good performance and with patches it can even run #3dfx games
- it has fully featured Sound Blaster 16 for some reason
- many more
My 3dfx adventure went an unusual path...
The Fastvoodoo2 drivers detected my two mismatched brand Voodoo 2 cards in SLI, but not the added memory of the 2nd card. Had me concerned.
Randomly installed the PC game Sacrifice and it confirmed all the memory was there 
So, Sacrifice, the new 3dfx diagnostic tool! 
Enjoying some Serious Sam: The First Encounter on Windows 98 and two 3dfx Voodoo 2 3D cards in SLI.
My retro Windows 98 computer is complete.
Finished off with an Iomega 250mb zip drive.
AMD Athlon 2000+
512MB RAM
128GB IDE to Micro SD
2x Voodoo 12mb SLI graphics cards
Matrox Mystique 220 (2D/3D)

It's been a really fun build!
Beige is beautiful!
@jameswoodcock everything #3dfx has a very special place in my heart
!
There is something wonderfully magical when you add a second 3dfx Voodoo 2 card to make SLI.
This is the late 90s inspired retro PC build I've been working on and it's nearly complete! (I keep adding stuff, so never quite finished!)
I have one more addition in mind, watch this space!
All these noobs who simp for an RTX 5090 have no idea what's good.
I already got a Voodoo 5500!
Higher number = more better.
It even got TWO graphic chips! Get rekt.

Right, I have my retro PC setup with what would have been my rig back in the 90s...
- Windows 98
- Matrox Mystique 220 (with Rainbow Runner)
- 2x 3dfx Voodoo 2 in SLI
- SoundBlaster Live
What should I play after Unreal and Unreal Tournament that will make use of those lovely Voodoo 2 cards?
Let's share some nostalgia!
90s Retro PCs with vswitchzero Interview - Game & Gadget Podcast #39
I interview Mike from @vswitchzero
who has a fascinating YouTube channel dedicated to 90s retro PC hardware and gaming.
We had a great discussion regarding 90s retro computing including the fabulous impact of the 3dfx Voodoo 3D accelerators on the PC platform and us.

A person who takes their job very seriously in Shogo Mobile Armor Division.
Originally released in 1998, having a blast from the past on my 3dfx Voodoo 2 and Windows 98.
I did work on #DOjS today, too.
I found libsmacker which can decode Smacker Video files produced by RAD Game Tools.
https://libsmacker.sourceforge.net/
I got it working as a plugin, video and audio decoding works with the test files I could find.
