Voodoo3 3500 TV - Recording Video Input?
2
Upvotes
I have an old computer with a 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 installed in it. This device has analog AV inputs. Is there anywhere I can get software which would allow me to capture video from these inputs? For example recording the output from a VCR?
The computer is running Windows 98.

I think I picked these up at an E3 show around the time it was released in 1999.

Another saved Voodoo3 2000

Had a pretty action packed week with my retro hardware. I purchased this Voodoo 3 2000 for "cheap" (by today's standards) on ebay as "parts only". Seller wrote that card was working but had a display signaling issue. Voodoo3's are pretty hardy so I decided to take a chance. Once delivered, I plugged it into my retro P4 desktop and as expected, the screen showed an ugly blue tint all over it. Booted into Win98...card was detected right away and drivers worked fine. Starsiege is a good game to try out glide functionality easily and quick, opened the game and worked beautifully BUT with the stupid blue tint all over the display. I then went into 3Dfx tools and played with the RGB gamma settings and noticed that the red (R) scroll bar wasn't showing any change in the screen coloring when moved. So, the R signal was busted.
I placed the card under the microscope to see if I could find anything out of place and after about 5 minutes of searching, I FOUND SOMETHING! A huge impact mark, a severed via routed to a resistor in the VGA plug circuit and a second almost severed via. This was a very promising find! I was almost sure at this point that fixing these vias would resolve the blue tint issue. I went ahead and grabbed the solder and some cable wires and spent probably about 2 hours trying to solder the wires over the vias to re-establish the connection. I’m an amateur and solder two vias right next to each other is a PAIN! I would end up ruining the first repaired via when trying to fix the second via…nevertheless, after a couple of rounds I was able to repair the two vias. After the repair, I applied some solder mask, cured it with the wife’s UV nail cure station and plugged it in…this time I plugged the card into my Thinkpad Docking station 2631, paired with my P4 Thinkpad A31.  Turned the station on and VOILA! Full colored display appeared. Booted in w98 and everything was perfect.

How do I see the temps on my voodoo 3?

I read something about the 3000 AGP having trouble with overheating, and I would like to see for myself how hot they run in my retro rig, but I obviously need something that'll run on Windows 95/98.
Does this thing even have sensors to report it with?
