I’ve had this weird fascination for all things PowerVR Series 1 for some time now. I’m just happy to be able to contribute in some way!

Congratulations on finishing the game and thank you for documenting rare PowerVR games. You've made me want to buy A-Train!

Oh, BTW JustJulião, if you don’t want to go spending on the bay I do have a link to a backup in the A5 opening video description.
Let me know if there is an issue with this and I’ll revise accordingly.

I downloaded it from your link a while ago but I’m waiting until I finish my final PowerVR rig before I play it. Thanks for uploading it. I’ll still track down the original game because I like collecting physical copies, but it’s great to be able to play it in the meantime.

Very nice video. It made me want to try a few games that run a bit slowly on a stock card on my 90MHz PCX2. Probably games with the PowerVR2 in mind.

Could anyone help on trying to run some newly discovered PowerVR PowerSGL API games:

Just tested A2 racer. It works and it's smooth enough to be enjoyable. It's D3D though.
There is a minor graphical issue (green triangles) but it's less annoying in person than on the photo.
PowerVR compatibility doesn't seem to have been in mind: no mention anywhere, no drivers. The game CD has S3, Trident (2D), Tseng and Voodoo drivers. There is also a Matrox folder but I only found Mystique and MGA drivers in it.

Thread cleanup.
Unless I'm missing something this thread was created for PowerVR hardware not emulators or wrappers.

i have started a separate thread for our new powervr wrapper here:
PowerVR-SGL-Wrapper v0.1.0 BETA for Windows
so you can continue your talk with ralonsoj about his project there
without the need to post in this hardware only thread 😉
