"This is a software driver for Warp3D, which enables:
using Warp3D applications, demos and games with PPC Amigas not equipped with a 3D GFx board, or not equiped with a GFx board at all (but requires P96 or CGX) [and] using Warp3D applications, demos and games not compatible with a 3D Gfx board (example : WipeOut and CGx4/Voodoo3)."

Warp3D software render driver : Comment 101 of 158 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Bill Hoggett on 21-Feb-2002 13:07 GMT | In reply to Comment 98 (David Scheibler): That particular issue is, as Ben Yoris put it, pathetic.
I think Harald meant that he has an exclusive license for P96 v3 (I don't know if that is the case) rather than him actually defining what P96 v3 is. Gremlins in the translation process.
However, even if VMC have an exclusive license for P96 v3, it doesn't mean the P96 team can't then release a P96 v4 - which might be virtually identical to v3 - which would fall outside that exclusivity clause.
Conversely, it doesn't mean P96 v4 could not work with Amithlon, unless Hyperion in turn paid P96 for an exclusive clause.
Either way, the exclusive trend in the Amiga market is farcical. Wouldn't it be wonderful if co-operation and API convengence was to break out all of a sudden, so that developers could concentrate on producing new stuff, rather than duplicating each other's drivers ad nauseam?
But hey, I'm dreaming again. This is the AMIGA scene, right? |
