Glide™

> 3dfx's Glide™ API offers developers the most direct, high performance access to 3dfx's award winning Voodoo based 3D accelerators.

> PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS SOFTWARE COMES WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY OR SUPPORT, EITHER FROM 3DFX OR FROM OMNI.

> More information about this software can be obtained on Omni Development's Glide™ page.

Requirements

> This software requires Mac OS X Server for PowerPC and a Voodoo2 3D accelerator. This port has been tested with older G3 machines and with new Blue&White machines. Other hardware might work, but hasn't been tested.

Installation

> You must install the Glide™ package as the system administrator (root), since it installs system drivers to talk to your Voodoo2 card. To install, unpack the .tar file to create a Glide.mpkg package (this happens automatically if you have OpenUp installed), then double-click on the package to install it.

> Once you have finished the installation, reboot your machine.

Resources

> You can send feedback about this Glide™ port to Omni at glide-port@omnigroup.com, but once again, please note that there is absolutely no support for this driver.
