The 3DFX Voodoo Lives Again In An FPGA

The 3DFX Voodoo was not the first dedicated 3D graphics chipset by any means, but it became the favourite for gamers among the early mass-market GPUs. It would be found on a 3D-processing-only PCI …

🌗 使用現代 RTL 工具構建 FPGA 版 3dfx Voodoo
➤ 從硬體設計到精準還原：重現 90 年代圖形渲染的神話
✤ https://noquiche.fyi/voodoo
本文記錄了作者如何利用現代硬體描述語言（HDL）工具，成功在 FPGA 上重新實現經典的 3dfx Voodoo 1 顯示晶片。與現代可程式化 GPU 不同，Voodoo 依靠大量的固定功能硬體來處理繁雜的圖形渲染任務，如紋理採樣、深度測試與模糊處理。作者指出，這項工程最困難的部分在於精準還原硬體行為，特別是解決管線（Pipeline）中的暫存器寫入同步問題。透過 SpinalHDL 及其 `RegIf` 抽象層，作者將暫存器的複雜語意封裝在單一程式碼區塊中，有效管理了管線狀態的一致性，並實現了更高效的除錯流程。
+ 這種將暫存器語意直接寫入硬體描述層的做法太聰明瞭！以前寫 Verilog 時，這些同步邏輯總是散落在各處，導致維護起來像惡夢一樣。
+ 很有啟發性。我一直以為 Voodoo 只是簡單的加速器，沒想

Gerade bei #boemermann im #zdf royal gesehen: ein Bootscreen von einer #3dfx #voodoo5_6000 ...
Danach waren andere Dinge zu sehen ...

Por mí actividad aquí, creo que se nota, y se va a seguir notando, que tengo un fin de semana tranquilo, pudiendo dedicar tiempo a mis aficiones.

Hoy he empezado a leer un libro que compré en #RetroParla hace casi 2 años, directamente en el puesto que tenía montado su autor, Martín Gamero. Quizas en el próximo evento pueda decirle que ya me lo he leído 😅. Fantástica persona, por cierto, y siempre nos echamos unas buenas charlas.

No lo he dicho, el libro es "El legado de 3dfx".

Hat jemand ganz zufällig ein Handbuch für die Creative Labs 3D Blaster Voodoo 2 über? Hab nach langem Suchen endlich die Box gefunden und jetzt alles bis auf das Handbuch zusammen, damit meine Voodoo2 wieder komplett ist. 🙂

Edit: ist immer noch aktuell...

Grand Theft Auto (1997) is the trailblazing action-adventure game that introduced open-world chaos and criminal freedom to gaming. Developed by DMA Design, it lets you rise through the underworld in three fictional cities. The ECTS Competition demo is a 3Dfx-exclusive slice of gaming history, offering a modified, streamlined mission and a rare look at the game’s pre-release evolution.
