General

I have released new "hacked" Banshee drivers again.
Issues fixed/resolved in them:
- The portal, the clipping, the swapping textures and the brightness slider all work or have been fixed in Q3Test
- 256 Color mode now works.
These drivers are made from 3dfx's Q3 compatible driver set. There is files mixed and matched from 3dfx's updated Q3 compatible Voodoo 3 driver set and 3dfx's Banshee reference drivers.
The download is around 2.3 Megs.
You can get the file here: xeno-banshee-5-23.zip
Please be sure to e-mail me with feedback, or to make me aware of any problems you have with these drivers.
Again, I feel like I am doing the job of 3dfx.

Have a Banshee and want to try out Windows 2000?
Get the Windows 2000 Banshee INF file HERE!
Just get the NT4 reference drivers, extract them to a temp folder, then copy the Win2k Banshee.inf file over top the old one. Install the drivers like normal and you should be up and running! (I have not tried this since I do not have Windows 2000 yet).
The INF file was not made by me, but has been altered by me (cosmetic changes to the INF file). You can get the original file, plus the INF file for a Voodoo 3 under Windows 2000 at http://www.ntgamepalace.iscool.net/.

If you have a Diamond Monster Fusion, and have tried to get 3dfx's NT4 reference drivers to work, try my NT4 INF file for the Fusion.

xeno-banshee-5-13.zip - 2.2 Megs
*MY* version of the new Q3Compatible Voodoo Banshee drivers.
Includes the updated OpenGL ICD and Glide drivers found in the newest Voodoo 3 drivers.
Fixes some graphic errors in Quake 3 including the messed up portal and some clipping.
Just use these until 3dfx release newer Banshee drivers. (Why is it I can release newer drivers before them when they made the darn chipset?)

But wait! There's more!
Already downloaded the Q3Compatible Banshee drivers?
Then get this file and extract it into your \Windows directory, making sure you keep the path intact when you extract it.
xeno-q3update-5-13.zip - 657 K
It is just the updated OpenGL ICD and Glide files. Just unzip them over your old ones to get the same fixed graphics in Quake 3 as the full drivers offer.

I have added a message forum for 3dfx Banshee users. Please check my forum.

Well, the Gold release of Internet Explorer 5 was a big disappointment to me. It contained the same annoying bugs that beta 2 did. Things like the "Windows 98" text disappearing off the Start Menu if you had less than seven times on it, and the constant flickering on the Task Bar when I have more than two programs open and I move the mouse around on the Start Menu's programs.
