If this is a project you are offering, then by all means go for it if it is meaningful to YOU. Aside from the Diamond S220 (which is starting to climb up there) original Rendition cards are becoming highly-collectible and how tight the niche is especially manifests for games which exhibit quirks (some major) on a V2x00 card because they were made strictly for V1000. I have considered no longer bothering with a Rendition card once I came to realize there are only one or two games of my interest that do not likewise support 3dfx (and I am not THAT big into them anyway), but with an emulation option at least the experiential prospect would remain open.

But here's a question I'd like to ask...
Would it be of any use to most people, and if not would anyone here, or anyone you know be interested in said emulation?

Thanks.

There's interest and interest. There's a lot that are generally interested, and would play with it if it were "around". Then in the retro community there are a ton of people always doing the "someone oughta remake x" where x is some piece of hardware that's gone over $50 in price. What they mean by that is that they don't want to pay even half that for a reproduction, assuming it will be dirt cheap. So do a meticulous recreation of something that can still be picked up on eBay for under $100 and need to charge $200 for it and your sales will be zero, apart from maybe one or two guys who have built motherboards from scratch to have "all new" old systems. Software solutions will have even lower price expectations than that.

Anyway, all I'm saying is passion projects are well regarded, and ppl will show interest. "Gauging interest" for product will bite you in the ass, because nobody actually going to pay much. There's 10,000 rabbit holes to go down in retro, the one with a toll booth won't get much traffic.
