NeoLojik Posted May 2, 2003 Share Posted May 2, 2003 Well, its happened, although it was released to the net about 3 weeks ago (but not posted publically)... Nu Angel from the x3dfx community forums has released the 3dfx driver / BIOS source to the world. Its spreadign like wildfire and would allow the community to build new drivers for their aging hardware. The legallity of this is questionable. I had been trying to contact the companies in question (nVidia, Quantum3D, Elpin) regarding releasing the source openly and was bashed by several members on the x3dfx community forums. Lets hope Nu Angel hasn't made the wrong choice...
