Nice. But there's no information about it... has the development been progressed enough for it to be playable?

I like to think people can follow the narrative in the sequence of screens presented, which shows my ass coining up, starting a game, and playing. Obviously I aimed too high :P
It's kinda slow though, no PC will run it 100%, you know the drill.

Good news. But I've seen some games emulated where it boots up and the attract mode runs fine and all... but there's elements missing from the game that makes it unplayable... whether it be missing controls or graphics. So I just wanted to be sure before I got my hopes up.

Congrats.
And the hardware was only wishful thinking by someone on emuchat thread just five months ago. Time to find the other pcbs with roms missing and get that part resolved.
Out of the games from that hardware, Virtual Pool is the one I want to see.

Damn is this guy is good. A major success story as far as MAME contributors go, too - just appeared out of the blue a month ago with a partially-working IT Eagle driver, and a month later has it playable. This dude is a fricking driver-writing machine.

Well, hopefully if the DU has one someone will dump it now that there's a driver and stuff. Smit?

Wow. Did he also submit improvements to the Voodoo Banshee driver? Because that shot of the green looks pretty damn clean. Apologies, I haven't kept up with development much, but I recall the Voodoo / 3DFX stuff being usable but somewhat broken (due to unemulated features) in the past.

*chains Ted to a desk and forces him to work on Tobe Polystars and Seibu Cup Soccer*
(The above is a joke and not meant to be taken seriously).
Regardless, great job on Golden Tee, Ted.

Having looked at his commits, I don't see anything having to do with the Banshee other than some minor glue logic, so I suspect it's one of those things that just happens to work. I'm not terribly surprised, as I'd always been under the impression that the Voodoo Banshee was an incremental revision from the Voodoo 2, otherwise it would have been called the Voodoo 3.

The Banshee was apparently created with only parts of a Voodoo 2's 3D stuff, and some 2D stuff tacked on, so it would be a... sidevision? Heh. Sorry. I mean, it worked well, but wasn't as powerful as a Voodoo 2, at least not in the 3D stuff.
My source is Wikipedia so as usual, grain of salt and stuff.

That's correct.
The Voodoo 1 and 2 were 3D-only add-on cards. You still needed to have a separate 2D video card. The Banshee was 3dfx's attempt at an all-in-one 2D/3D card. I think they deliberately made it less powerful than a Voodoo 2 so as not to eat into their Voodoo 2 market share.

This is showing great promise, and that's coming from a GT Complete owner. It's great to see that the security checks appear to be emulated (or defeated), which I thought would be the biggest hurdle (knowing that the security chip is game-specific and is matched to PCB it's in).

IT's security has always been a joke, and we have dumps of several of the PICs.

Yup. Maybe soon the GT boards that aren't completes could be upgraded more easily (or that any version would work). The only two courses I've not played are the two that are only in the original version. Could be dreaming, but anything's possible.

There's somebody on the BYOAC forums that can upgrade GT Fore boards to complete.

If you wouldn't mind, can you give the percentage on your system?
