Instead of having SAGA why don't we start porting old games to 24-bit compatibilty?
What would be involved with that?

How many actual games would take advantage of chunky mode?

I just read about the BoXer and I had no idea how many times the goal got changed. Future this, future that.

It's unlikely it would have ever been finished.

I don't think an old computer is meant to have several levels of upgrades to do modern tasks. You could have a G3 with PCI slots, but that is almost a second computer getting shoved in.
There must be a number of things that cause real slow downs. Even PCI is getting old now.
A4000 is the faster computer from 20 years ago.

p.s I don't require PowerPC cards either. I don't think there is anybody who could make one at the moment anyway.

edit:
Oh Okay. I should read the post properly. Could have PowerPC. It sounded like "we should have a PowerPC card for it"

If you could have a PowerPC it would cost $2000. Plus a year or two in the prototype phase. More likely.
ask Jens, he got all the phase 5 IP?
