well GBA must support some 3D because there is Doom 1 and 2 for it

Well put Liazon, doubt i could've explained it better myself

. Game gear screen res. was 160x146, Gameboy was 160x144, the TI-89's is 160x100 and the Ti 83 family's res.(for comparison) is 96x 64

Yep... Without built-in 3D support, you need raw CPU horsepower along with as many "shortcuts" (aka look up tables and fixed point arithmetic) as you can muster.

Doubt it would be very fast or pretty either. :knight:

sorry, but the hardest ones to do are going to be the raptors and the mavericks, I think. So those will probably be last.

Speaking of Doom II for the GBA, did you all know that that is like a rare game I guess. Heh, I knew it was tough to find in stores around me...i have a mint complete with box and instruction GBA doom 2 sitting around here. My advice is to keep it, it will only be worth more if you have it!

didn't even realize Doom2 was made for GBA. who knew.

too bad raycasting = no pointing up and down.

QUOTE (DJ Omnimaga @ 15 Oct, 2007, 20:49)

what is a GPU and what does it do and what does it make it different than a CPU? (since acronyms looks almost similar)

and halifax i think you missed madskillz sprites and the rest of the posts before the one you quoted

No I didn't miss his sprites. I have talked to him in private about matters with the sprites(nothing bad

all good)

And yes basically a GPU is no different from a CPU except that it is meant to take the load off of the CPU, and it is multicore. This is why the CELL is generally compared to being a GPU. Speaking of that, check out this cool link. *Halifax
