Trick Windows 98? voodoo2 12mb to 16mb?

Hi,
I just borrowed Medal of Honor : Allied Assault off of my brother, but I only have a 12mb Voodoo2 (running between 120mhz and 150mhz), but a 16mb card is required. Can I trick Win98 into believing that it is a 16mb card?

My card is running @ 125 - 160% of a 12mb card, so would this work?

Thanks
 
So just load it up and try it.

If it works, fine. If not, at least it won't break anything! 😀
 
even if u do get it to work, u'll need a fast processor to get a decent frame rate

i got a k6-2 450mhz, 128mb ram, voodoo 3, and the game crawls, with everything turned lowest or off at the lowest resolution

good luck
 
i have already loaded it. it says it wants a card that supports multi-texturing. is there anything i can do?
 
If the V2 doesn't support multi-texturing, it seems you will need to get a card
that does to run that game.

As already asked, what processor do you have?

Keep in mind, even systems that meet the posted "minimum requirements"
may not run a programme properly, or at all.
 
The V2 does support multi-texturing. One of the first consumer level cards to do so. The problem is that you need a 16mb card. This is not just some silly administrative rule to side track the game, it's a hardware requirement. The V2 only has 8mg of texture memory to work with (even with SLI). If the game requires more than that just to initialize, then you're stuck.

One thing you could try is to configure all the texture settings to low, and then try to run the game using a 3rd party miniGL (like Wicked3d's) that was meant for Q3A. It'd still probably fail, but it's also probably your best shot.
 
thanks people. Guess I'll have to stop being a skin flint huh! I'll get a new card and processor (I have a P2 350mhz)

Thanks anyway
 
You should definitally give the Wicked3d drivers a try. Jedi Knight 2 also requires a 16mb video card that supports OpenGL, it even says in the manual that 3dfx Voodoo2 cards ARE NOT supported, and yet...

My bro is playing Jedi Knight 2 on my 12mb Voodoo2 2 computers away from me... 🙂
