Tried contacting the devs of Chankast? Maybe some of the Katana emulating code will be appropriate.

no, because Chankast is dead

Garroffi and his team aren't. The chanka.org domain is still up too.

yes
When Unreal first shipped, it only had a Software driver, a Glide driver and an SGL driver (for PowerVR cards)
Later patches and UE1 engine revisions nerf the SGL support because they believe it is obsolete, though the games still ship with a working SGL driver that the engine ignores anyway (Deus Ex, Rune and Undying even have the SGL driver, though their .int lines have been commented out to avoid being selected but they wont' work with an actual PowerVR PCX2 anyway)

While we're on the subject how about an S3 MeTaL renderer/wrapper too? Then you'd have access to the high res textures disc/feature of UT.

There's already a DX9 and OGL renderer out there that can use those.

is there a reason to use sgl ?
