And good thing the Nvidia GPU never showed up because the PowerVR replacement was fantastic. The Deamcast's failure had nothing to do with its technology.

powervr did go on to be the company that licenses gpu designs to everyone including apple. then again that might be why apple's 3d api is so weird

DroidDeck, the app that runs Steam games on Android, now supports Mali, PowerVR and Xclipse GPUs. More Pixel and Galaxy phones can try it, though support is still initial.

DroidDeck ondersteunt nu ook Mali-, PowerVR- en Xclipse-gpu's. De ontwikkelaars hebben de ondersteuning toegevoegd in versie 0.7.0. Daardoor werkt de app ook op recente Google Pixel- en Samsung-telefoons.

I miss the mid to late 90's, we seemed to have more choice in a way back then.
Choice of GPU's, 3dfx, rendition, virge3d, STB, Matrox, ATI, Nvidia, Powervr.
And then consoles lol. And then the internet was just more cherished back then, wasn't so loud.

as someone who pretty much evangelized powervr cards a decade+ ago on the internet i absolutely detest the two vibed ass wrappers. imgtec didn't release the series-1 code for that shit

I feel like people already didn't see coding as a type of art and now it's really clear to me they don't. Everyone just wants an end product.

The tell is usually one file in. A PowerVR wrapper that never names a register, or a MechWarrior map viewer with no commit that shows someone opened the format. You can smell the missing afternoon of reverse engineering before you even run it.

All the ARM SOC manufacturers keep many generations of CPU and GPU in production at once, plus there are a ton of graphics vendors. Should only Adreno be targeted? Mali, IMG/PowerVR, XClipse, Mali/Immortalis and Tegra/RTX are all players. There's so much to think about. Appreciate the discussion!

i'm gonna say 3D Prophet 4000 (PowerVR KYRO) because i'm butt
but also if there's another PCI slot open, there could be a Matrox M3D (PowerVR PCX2) put in there, so you could have one of those funny double generation of powervr computers no one thinks about
