Pocket Midtown Madness

My 300MHz PC with Voodoo 1 ran the first Midtown Madness just fine. I had to bring down the detail, but it was definitely more than playable. However current pocketpc's are capable of that graphical detail. AFAIK, they have no floating point unit, no usefaul graphics acceleration for games, or even sound acceleration.

The Rasterization stage of a 3d pipeline is a big burden for todays CPUs. In particular if you want to do perspective correct texture mapping (i am not even taliking bilinear here).
I'd say without some form of 3d acceleration it is out of question.

ps. I guess most 3d engines today on PPC dont use perspective correct texture mapping. Maybe few texel are correct with linear interpolation in between.

this is truely a fake. in the video his thumb is coverd and anyone could take the vid and play it in full screen then move there thumb to act like they are playing it

Your thumb can move the joystick and press a button too, that's why he sucked on the video.
And with the other hand he held the camera.
But I still think it's a fake too.
