I found this pacakge on Aminet that allows use of warp 3d on 68k systems. Would this work on Vampire and FEMU?

Interesting.  If I had a Vampire to test this, I'd do so but I'm holding out for the standalone version.

Why I have the feeling your holding out for the standalone version. I could be wrong.

I already have an A1200 with an 030 accelerator installed and want to minimize its use because it's a collector's item now.  I'm almost afraid that the magic smoke will escape from its chips whenever I turn it on.  I'd prefer to play with new hardware that also has more capabilities than my A1200.  I sold off or gave away all my other classic systems over the years so I can't use the existing Vampires. My budget won't allow for adding a Vampire AND fragile old classic A500's or A600's that could fail at any time to my collection.  I'm content to wait for a standalone solution.

Bullshift... The A500 is immortal and still quite available and effordable on secondhand market. Unlike A600 the A500 Vampire is connected very well to the 68k socket a there is no problem from the hardware side.

Thanks Jesus, we have discussed it, works but not so good.
Tellier (author) is here at OpenGL thread, and I am usually the one
pushing we need Warp3D - either as compatibile chip in FPGA, or as half FPGA instructions half soft emu (like they did with FPU on v2)

Please get a better handle on English before making profane comments such as this.  I know A500's are available.  I don't have the money to buy an A500 AND a Vampire.  That's why I wait for the standalone.  I also don't want to buy any secondhand hardware for obvious reasons.  I stated the same sentiments above but obviously you didn't understand  me.

Yep I was in on the chat as Crom in the IRC. Very informative!

I'm sure performance would improve dramatically if Alain were to update his code for AMMX.
