"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 40 of 158 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Kay Are Ulvestad on 20-Feb-2002 11:03 GMT | In reply to Comment 37 (Bernd Meyer): >Isn't it obvious? You don't have *any* hardware that anyone paid a Warp3D >licence for....
It IS obvious. The only Amiga hardware Amithlon users have is emulated. So if someone is to pay a license, it should be the people who are selling the emulator.
>Sorry, it's been a long and crappy day, and it's going to be a much longer and >crappier night. And this whole stupidity really gets up my nose!
If it is any comfort, rest assured that Hyperion has to put up with a lot more stupidity than you do. Every time they are mentioned here on ANN, some mud-for-brains with no regard to facts start flaming them.
>I don't have a problem with Hyperion saying "If you don't have any licensed >hardware, you can't use Warp3D". That's cool, it's their decision, and while I >personally doubt it's a wise one, that really doesn't matter.
>What shits me is that Hyperion is now saying "You are welcome to use Warp3D if >you have bought licenced hardware, *or* if you happen to own a PPC card, but >not, repeat not, if you dare to run your Amiga on an x86". Someone please >explain to me the difference between people with PPC accellerators and people >with x86 accellerators, as far as Warp3D is concerned! That makes the >whole "We don't oppose x86" stuff seem really really hollow....
It is their call. If they don't want to make a software renderer for a dead processor range that's their choice.
