We have just added to our 3dfx Software Repository a driver release for Voodoo2 and Obsidian2 cards named "Koolsmoky Voodoo2 and Obsidian2 Glide Driver Kit @ 21/02/2010". This software until now was downloadable only visiting a thread at the enboard. While, starting from now, it is part of our repository, and so it's available for all. The file's descriptions in both english and italian language, and then release notes and download link follow.
Latest Voodoo2 and Obsidian2 Glide Driver Kit released and published by Koolsmoky at 3dfxzone.it english forums. This package is basically a driver for 3dfx Voodoo2 graphics accelerators as well as for Quantum3D Obsidian2 graphics cards. It includes the latest builds of 3dfx glide2x (2.57.0.6528) and glide3x (3.4.0.6528) libraries, developed by http://glide.sourceforge.net/, and new 32-bit miniport drivers, named fxgpio.sys (4.3.0.1105) and fxptl.sys (4.3.0.1105), for the Operating Systems Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. This Voodoo2 and Obsidian2 Glide Driver Kit has been optimized for instructions 3DNow! and MMX, and supports Voodoo2 configurations based on mismatched SLI. Furthermore, for optiomal performance with OpenGL based games, we suggest to use also MesaFX for 3dfx Glide or Metabyte WickedGL or 3dfx MiniGL. This driver supports Microsoft Operating Systems Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Vista. Windows 9x/ME users have first to install the latest reference driver for these OSes and then to copy glide2x.dll and glide3x.dll files from the zipped file downloaded from 3dfxzone.it to local folder C:\windows\system.

Versione più recente del Glide Driver Kit per gli acceleratori grafici 3dfx Voodoo2 e Quantum3D Obsidian2, rilasciata e pubblicata da Koolsmoky attraverso il forum in lingua inglese di 3dfxzone.it. Questo package include le versioni più recenti delle librerie glide2x.dll (2.57.0.6528) e glide3x.dll (3.4.0.6528), provenienti dagli sviluppatori di http://glide.sourceforge.net/, e inoltre dei miniport fxgpio.sys (4.3.0.1105) e fxptl.sys (4.3.0.1105). Questo Glide Driver Kit introduce anche delle ottimizzazioni per le istruzioni 3DNow! e MMX, e supporta le configurazioni Voodoo2 di tipo mismatched SLI (le due video card utilizzate sono realizzate da maker differenti e quindi implementano un design del PBC differente). In merito alla esecuzione dei game in OpenGL, Koolsmoky consiglia l'abbinamento di questo driver a una libreria grafica MesaFX oppure Metabyte WickedGL oppure 3dfx MiniGL. Questo Glide Driver Kit supporta i Sistemi Operativi Microsoft Windows 9x, Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP e Windows Vista. Per l'utilizzo di questo software in ambiente Windows 9x/ME è necessario e sufficiente effettuare prima l'installazione del driver reference più recente per tali OS e, successivamente, copiare le librerie glide2x.dll e glide3x.dll, contenute nel file compresso scaricato da 3dfxzone.it, nella directory C:\windows\system.
