God, what an idiot. Using a Voodoo2 with any of the high end cards of
today is like having a little kid with a slingshot ride on top of a
tank. Last time I made this argument someone made the same point about
old glide games but there's no way you're gonna tell me that a V2 will
run a game faster that a gf2 ultra with a glide wrapper. I've used glide
wrappers in the past (for UltraHLE on my girlfriends ati xpert128) and
it didnt run much slower on an ati xpert128 so you cant tell me it wont
be perfect on a gf2 ultra.
