Just wondering, do the Radeon 8500 demos run on non 8500 cards. I have a Radeon 1 and on all demos but treasure chest I get a some none Radeon 8500 error. Mainly, believe that the Radeon demos and mabe the Geforce 4 demos require specific Radeon or Geforece hardware detected to run. If I am wrong plese correct me, and if possible help me run the radeon demos on my system, something like emulate the 8500 even if it runs very slow.

Thanks

99% of Nvidia demos are written in OpenGL, taking advantage of Nvidia extensions. They will not run on other cards.

Emultating pixel shader in software results in "seconds per frame" speed :)
Vertex shaders can be done in software with decent speed, however.
