11/10 - With the release of the 2D driver and also a rom dump of the long-awaited Toshiba G810 rom - We are temporarily suspending further development and discussion of the 3D driver whilst we pursue our other ambition of bringng better 2D capabilities to our devices.

Please see the Poilaris 2D Driver development thread here:

Thank you - we will continue the 3D driver improvement discussions shortly.

8/10 - Today, The P3D team are proud to announce the release of the P3D Polaris 3D driver in an installable (and uninstallable!) cab form through its partnership with the htcclassaction.org website. Our thanks to Chainfire and the Kaiser team for the creation and distribution of the cab file via its website and enabling the p3D team to concentrate on further development and improvement to the driver.

We wish them all the best :)

The link to the cab can be found on this page: http://www.htcclassaction.org/driverprogress.php#update_20081009_1

2/10 - Distributed new set of drivers that are compatible with the Polaris ddi to all rom chefs to test and integrate into their roms.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

30/9 - Initial feedback from Itje's rom is encouraging - users express faster speeds with a few exceptions. NuShrike has success making the original Polaris ddi,dll work with the 3D driver - tested and confirmed working with improved results.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

28/9 - Asked rom chefs to assist with testing with their own roms with the drivers cooked in - ije released a new version with 3D drivers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

27/9 - Testing continues with some impressive benchmarks from NikMels rom which has the files cooked in.

25/9 - NuShrike and Rogro82, our developers on this project had a breakthorough to fix the scrolling. Neos2007 created a cab which will be posted out to all testers on this project.

An updated video from Neos2007 of the non scrolling 3D acceleration can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58PFxhIVeE0

A Cab file has been generated by Neos2007 for testing FOR the team - we will release a Public Beta after some testing.

PLEASE DO NOT POST REQUESTS FOR THE CAB!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23/9 - After trying every angle to fix the scrolling we are now looking at help from NuShrike, a veteran from the CA Kaiser driver who has agreed to help us in porting the CA driver to the Polaris.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE: After much research and some interesting development work, NikMel has posted a rom which shows hardware acceleration working in concept! - you can see a few youtube videos here:
