How's that possible? :shock:
There was a bug in configurator long time ago, but it has been fixed. Maybe try to reinstall 1.02...

1) Have installed Quake 1.01 in DOSBox.
2) Have installed GLQuake 0.97.
3) Have added nGlide 1.02 glide2x.dll to the quake directory.
4) All settings are default (by app/fit to screen/by app/on/1.0/on).
5) The logo is ok in all others 3dfx games.
6) No logo in GLQuake.
7) There IS a logo with a real Voodoo2.
8) I have reinstalled the game from the WinXp command prompt. Now the logo is ok. WtF?

And where did you put 3dfxSpl2.dll?

I have a real Voodoo2 and the W2k 1.02.00 drivers installed. So - all glide files are in %windows%\system32 directory. 3dfxSpl2.dll and 3dfxSpl3.dll included.
To run any game with nGlide - I just copy glide2x.dll or glide3x.dll in the game directory. NGlide configurator may be anywhere, because .dll is configured through registry.
Several games aren't working good if the PC isn't rebooted after this operation. There are several games with "I see only glide*.dll in the %windows%\system32" behavior. But 99% games are working ok.
So - 5) The logo is ok in all others 3dfx games.
And then again, 8) I have reinstalled the game from the WinXp command prompt. Now the logo is ok. WtF?

*Censored*... I have moved my Quake installation "w/o logo" from D:\DOSBOX\QUAKE to D:\Quake. The logo is appeared. WtF? By the way, file system is FAT32 so access rights isn't the cause...

Found the bug! Currently nGlide searches for "dosbox" string in a process filepath to avoid displaying splash logo with DOSBox for the second time (as you know Gulikoza's patch renders splash logo on its own).

The problem is, it should search for the string only in process filename instead of searching it in the whole path.
I'll fix this in the next release.

Return Fire II:
Color bug is fixed.
Still wrong drawing... Mission start - all is ok. 1st using of the lift - lift "copy" and missing trees. 2nd using of the lift - models are missing. http://www.4shared.com/video/YhYycYmJ/ReturnFireII.html

Return to Castle Wolfenstein - the game is working perfectly with 3dfxvgl + nGlide 1.02 + 1024x768+. 1024x768 and above are broken with openglv3.dll and openglv5.dll...
Unfortunatedly my Voodoo2 setup isn't SLI so I can't test 1024x768 resolution with openglv5.dll and a hardware Voodoo card...

I have found a copy of San Francisco Rush: the Rock - Alcatraz Edition. AFAIK this game was released as OEM only and was bundled with a Quantum3d Raven videocard.
But this copy isn't working with nGlide/Voodoo2 because of hardware check.
So - "rush640 -U" isn't working.
Any suggestions?

The hardware lock can easily be disabled by modifying executables:
