### Notes

- If you want 3Dfx fullscreen support and download the "MD2ViewerXX.zip", you can copy your Mesa Drivers into the MD2 Viewer directory and rename them to "mesagl.dll" and "mesaglu.dll".
- If for some reason the MD2 viewer starts in 3Dfx mode, kill its task with Ctrl+Alt+Del and start the "MD2 Viewer Safe Mode" (md2_sm.exe).
