You have to download the Voodoo OpenGL Beta 2.1. Not the miniGL. Copy the
file 3dfxopengl.dll to the quake3 main dir. Rename it to opengl32.dll. Then
start the game. If everything is ok it'll pass and you'll get the main menu.
Go to system settings, video options, and set fullscreen on. If it's already
on then still go to this screen and press enter else for some reason it
quits with the message OpenGL subsystem not found. After pressing enter you
can play a game. This was all told to me by a friend, ofcourse.

this will not work for the banshee, you can try this though

goto http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Lakes/7220/mesa.html
and download the mesa3dll.zip file, and use the opengl32.dll in your quake3
directory. I got it working with my banshee although it does seem a bit slow
probally because its not a 3dfx file

 Really? Would that be why it works fine on my Banshee?

300a
bh6
64 pc100
raven

best thing I can get is if I take the 1.47 mini and rename it to
opengl.dll or voodoogl.dll, then  I just get the sky when it starts,
have tried many many dll's and that's the best I can get

 Well I just pointed the q3config.cfg file at the 3dfx beta and it ran okay.
Sometimes it will start and stop complaining that there is no gl subsystem,
but it works fine on the second attempt.
