Need for Speed Porche 2000 problem

[GFORCE100]

Hi there,


Does anyone know why I can't select 1024x768 in Need for Speed Porche 2000 when using 2 Voodoo2's in SLI (12MB)? I got it to work once in the demo but since then I've forgotten so I know it's possible somehow. I've changed all the drivers I have. The maximum resolution it lets me select is 800x600 and the car detail is corrupted (not like it once was using he same cards). It's annoying playing it at a lower resolution when it works fine at a higher one. If anyone can help please post youe hints/suggestions here.

Many thanks

Need for Speed 5: Porsche Unleashed (Electronic Arts)


Received the follow messages:
1) Works fine
2) I loads te first screen uses up about 900mb memory and then crashes i have a dual pii 400 with a tnt2 card using the 3.81 drivers. I deleted a file called
gimme.dll and now it works fine, which make me wonder what that file does.
3) It runs fine with high textures and detail in 1024x768x32 on PII400 with 128Meg ram and ATI Rage Fury. It will not run past first screen on my other
system with TNT2 using any driver version I can find.
4) At first won't even install, so I kinda gave up... A week later, new drivers for GeForce (Detonator513) and A3D (5.10.2500) came out, I installed both,
they worked ok, so I decided to give NFS another shot and it worked!
5) System#1 - WORKS PERFECT WITH - Abit BP6, 128MB Crucial PC133 ram, 2 366MHz Celerons O/C to 550MHz each @100MHz bus, SBLIVE
X-Gamer, 2.1GB 7200rpm Seagate SCSI HD, SCSI 5.2GB DVDRAM w/ DXR2 PCI decoder, 3com 10/100 PCI NIC, Voodoo3 3000 AGP, Adaptec 2940UW
card, standard 1.44MB floppy. Win2KPro.
system#2 - WORKS PERFECT WITH - Asus P2B-LS, 256MB Crucial PC133 ram, 1 366MHz Celeron O/C tO 567MHz @103MHz bus, SBLIVE X-Gamer,
18.2GB 10000rpm Seagate Ultra2 SCSI HD, 8X Plextor SCSI CDR, Intel 10/100 NIC, Voodoo3 3500TV AGP, Adaptec 2940U2W SCSI PCI card, IDE
LS120 Floppy. Win2KPro.
system#3 - WORKS PERFECT WITH - Abit BX6R2, 128MB Crucial PC133 ram, 1 366MHz Celeron O/C to 458MHz @83MHz bus, SBLIVE X-Gamer, 9.1
7,200rpm
Seagate IDE HD, 6X Creative Labs IDE DVD w/DXR3 PCI decoder, 3com 10MB
NIC, Creative Labs TNT2 Ultra, standard 1.44MB floppy. Win2kPro.
System#4 - DID NOT WORK WITH -Abit BP6, 256MB Crucial PC133 ram, 2 366MHz Celerons O/C to 550MHz each @100MHz bus, SBLIVE X-Gamer,
20.5GB 7,200rpm IBM IDE HD, Toshiba 48X IDE CDROM, Linksys 10/100 PCI NIC, Voodoo3 3000 AGP, standard 1.44MB floppy. My system#4 kept
getting an error that used up 900MB of memory and then would crash. I rebooted, ran defrag, then set the initial paging file size to 256, and the
maximum to 500, rebooted again, and it works PERFECT now! Although it fixed this problem, I dont know what other problems it may create from
adjusting the paging file to this particular size on a system with 256MB of ram. Probably none.
6) 3dsetup won't detect the Voodoo2s even if you modify the 3dsetup.ini. It must be changed in the registry. To get this working, got into registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Electronic Arts\Need for Speed - Porsche Unleashed
Set entry "Group" to "Glide"
Set entry "Trash driver" to "Voodoo2"
Works just great with my SLI!
