Ati's TruForm for Radeon 8500

[Zerthr]

Is it possible for the emulators (psx, n64 etc) to use the truform technology? probably is possible but is it hard to do for the developers?

I thought the polygon subdivision stuff was all automatic. If that's true (I think that's how it works) then any plugin that passes scene information through hardware will be able to benefit from it.

[Zerthr]

no i've heard the developers of the game has to enable it. Like i saw u need a patch for counter-strike to get the effect going

[NickK]

I read something in MaxPC or something a while ago that "old games will be able to benefit from it." ATi could have changed it, but I don't have a Radeon or enough information to confirm this.

it said it need a patch to enable it

[Zerthr]

Do u have to enable it for each 3d model or somthing? If that's so that would be hard for emulation. Would it not?

[NickK]

Someone could just try to dump the whole scene and see what happens :)

i just wanna see how good psx and n64 games look wit the truform tech. hope it would be possible in the future.
