Title: Warp3D Software Renderer on A4000 without 3D hardware
Post by: doctorj on February 06, 2006, 04:15:19 PM

Here is the letter I attempted to email to the author of the W3D_CPU_PPC.library, but the email address on the site is not valid.

Has anyone successfully done this?

Stéphane,

I am trying to use your Warp 3D software renderer driver (W3D_CPU_PPC.library) without a 3D video card.

I have an A4000 desktop with a Cyberstorm PPC and a 4MB CV64 (non-3D).  RAM is maxed out at 146MB.

I own OS3.9, WarpOS 5.1, Warp3D 4.2a, CGX 4, Picasso96, all of the latest software.

I installed Warp3D as if I had a CV64/3D.  I placed the W3D_CPU_PPC.library in the HWDrivers of Warp3D.

When I run WarpTest, it says that the Virge driver is available, and Error: No ModeID found!

If I remove the W3D_Virge#? Drivers from HWDrivers, I get Panic! No Hardware Driver found

Is it possible to run the Warp3D software renderer in this configuration?  Any idea what I am missing?

Do I need to set WarpOS gfxaddr and force in this configuration?

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

-Jeff

Hi,
Have you well setted your system ?
Can you play Payback's demo without 3D acceleration ?

Payback's Demo works fine.  Both 68K and WOS.  I am running it right now.

Am I to understand that noone has successfully used the software Warp3D renderer without actual 3D hardware present?
