Installation instructions[1]
  1. Download the latest version of dgVoodoo 2 and extract the archive.
  2. Open the MS\x86 folder and copy D3D8.dll, D3DImm.dll and DDraw.dll files to the installation directory of sfa3d.exe.
  3. Paste the files into the game installation folder where the game executable is.
  4. Run the included dgVoodooCpl program and configure the following settings.
    • General
      • Fullscreen or Windowed
    • DirectX
      • Videocard: ATI Radeon 8500 (best results - no corrupted nebulars)
      • Filtering: Desired anisotropic filtering
      • Resolution: Desired output resolution
        Note: Widescreen resolutions cause the game to appear stretched.
      • Antialiasing: Desired AA level
      • Fast video memory access: Checked (the game has z-buffer issues unless this is enabled)
  5. Save the dgVoodoo config file to the installation directory of sfa3d.exe.
  6. Launch sfa3d.exe instead of sfa.exe. The latter uses software rendering.
