Additional Information and Questions
What if I want to just extract the files?
Extracting the files is unnecessary for the vast number of users. We
recommend you let the installer software do the work for you. If you
want to extract the files follow these steps.
Start the installer.
Check the second radio button down.
Click on Next. It will then ask you for a folder. If you dont know
what to do, choose “Desktop.”
The installer then creates a folder on your desktop named “3dfx MiniGL”,
extracts files into it, and opens the folder. Inside the folder will
be the readme and one folder for each game supported. The correctly
named miniport is in each game directory. For instance, for Sin, you
would open the “Sin” folder and place the file(s) from there into the
place Sin is installed on your hard drive.
