Anybody working on a Warp3D/miniGL version for PPC accelerators on classic? :cry:

[billchase]

Someone mentioned about that on aw.net.  First off,
the memory requirement is too step for classic (even
though the blizzard can use 256MB, I frankly don't
think it has the horsepower).  Secondly, the 3D
driver requirement is also an issue currently with
the classic machines.  I sure the MorphOS experts
around here can be more specific.

The windows version used to do fine with less than that.  I remember running it on my K6-2 with 64MB or maybe 128MB at the most.  The lack of bandwidth between the processor and video card on Mediator/Prometheus systems could be a bit of a problem though.

I agree, but for some reason, the MorphOS version is
stating a 256MB requirement.  Since I can't test it
myself, maybe it is a recommended memory that is
being stated vs a min to run requirement.

Morphos don't have any virtual memory so i can understand if quake3 requires quite a lot of memory

The Sega Dreamcast version of Quake 3:Arena runs at 60fps, 640x480 online with keyboard/mouse, 16-players firing at you in 16MB of total system memory and a 200Mhz processor.

I think the PowerVR is 3x more powerful than the Permedia 2 in the BVision but still...  16MB of TOTAL system memory?
