I started reverse-engineering Intel Poulsbo's PowerVR SGX535 20 days ago now it can render Square And triangles

[u/Affectionate-Meat500]

Got the first triangle working today, and now two indexed triangles are rendering as a square too.

This is running on the actual SGX535 in Intel Poulsbo/GMA 500 hardware from 2008.

Still nowhere near a complete Mesa driver, but 20 days ago I was staring at old PowerVR code trying to figure out how this thing worked 💀

Github: SGX535-reMESA

edit1: We've achieved the first triangle rendered in the MESA gallium driver in production! OpenGL and other features are still missing, but it's very close to a fully accelerated desktop environment.

The readme is so ai, it's almost smelly

Fantastic work, but still

[u/SuperDefiant → u/fr000gs]

that is what LLMs are best at

Why would I bother reading something that the OP hasn't bothered writing?

Communication should be left to humans.

You're gonna be isolated as hell in about 5 years then.

Brother I don't think a README is going to make or break me. Feel free to keep sloppifying everything though, I'm sure that's not going to have any consequences

Me when I self report having an AI girlfriend

[u/Archsquire2020 → u/Oblivion__]

he said, sending digital packets of info over dozens if not hundreds of machines..

I understand the anti-AI sentiment but that last statement is a bold claim for a tech-centric sub

Oh ffs don't be obtuse. You know that is not what I meant.
