NFSFAN checked out the source code to that.

This is a quote from NFSFAN "The calls being made are addressed directly to the framebuffer. Linux doesn't have D3D, it has OpenGL. The same idea wouldn't really work in WinCE"

So DZO's fix doesn't work for windows. I've pm'd chainfire and a few of the others who did the work getting drivers for the Polaris, Kaiser and Nike but their response was none of them own qvga devices anymore and are not interested in helping develop new drivers. At least we have a talented guy like NFSFAN still helping us. Those guys can say what they wannt about him, at least he is still developing for a device he no longer uses.......to me that says alot.

Hopefully we can find someone capable of breaking through the remaining hurdles, or NFSFAN has a mea culpa moment (i'm betting on the latter, not stopping me from pm'ing every one I can though at XDA!!!!!!!)

With the new Opera 9.7 using OpenGL, newer games for ppc that actually rival the main mobile gaming platforms, not just gba etc, etc etc this would make a huge difference in our Vogues. (Not even mentioning TF3d).
