@YodasRaytracing@richgel999 Not sure why he would get angry, but there's something nice and pure about software rendering. It's not scientific, just a feeling I guess. lol
@falco_girgis@ninjadynamics some games actually do use it though. I don't have a list or anything (ask the pcsx2 team lol). Try jak and daxter and pay close attention to the cutscenes. ;)
@falco_girgis@ninjadynamics I think.. well I'm not really a hardware guy so I can't say for sure. Maybe because the dedi. vram/framebuffer is pretty small and they didn't want to keep extra data per pixel? That's how MSAA works right? Afaik PS2 calculates coverage and blends right as polygons are drawn.
Realization: lightweight is a marketing term used to fool you into thinking a software product is high performance without claiming anything concrete. A bit like HP smart.
