Yes. PowerVR chipsets work great for OpenArena, the only real performance killer is bloom (since it's tile-based, bloom and tile renderers do not mix) PowerVR chipsets support 8 multitexture (so vertex light would not be a performance advantage excuse, and r_detailTextures 1 would be lossless in fps), and there's a 600mhz cpu in there, which is more than enough for the game (OA can run well on 290mhz Pentium II klamaths).

The Pandora couldn't run XDFort though, as powervr chips suck in darkplaces for various glitches.

I haven't looked into the Pandora much. Is it x86?

asking when OA3 will be done won't get OA3 done.
Progress of OA3 currently occurs behind closed doors alone

I do not provide technical support either.

That is cool, never heard of Pandora before. Couldn't you just compile OA on the handheld? If you send me one I will port it for you Smiley Smiley Smiley Smiley
