Can Witchery find the fault of this 3Dfx Voodoo 2?

Welcome to a time before high-speed internet, when the hum of a mechanical hard drive was the sound of pure potential. I grew up during the golden age of PC computing - the era of Windows 3.11, chunky Slot 1 Pentiums, and the game-changing power of Voodoo accelerator cards. Back then, I spent my time poring over PC magazines, dreaming of hardware I couldn't afford. 25 years later, I’m finally building those dream machines. Join me as I explore retro hardware, tackle odd projects, and relive the glory days of DIY computing. Hit subscribe and let’s head back to the '90s! Advertiser Permit Number: 6650298

Video Description
A viewer needs my help with his Voodoo 2! This card is detected under Windows, but after the driver installation, the device shows up with a yellow exclamation mark. Needless to say, no 3D application is working. Today, I will use an updated version of Witchery - the ultimate 3Dfx debugging utility for Voodoo 2 cards. Let's see if the tool can figure out what is wrong. Maksim, the autor of Witchery, also has a YouTube channel (link below).
