Nvidia emulation journey, part 1: RIVA 128/NV3 architecture history and overview (86box.net)
Editor’s Note: This is the first in a series of guest posts by starfrost013 going over the architecture of NVIDIA’s first commercially-successful product, and the ongoing effort to get it emulated on 86Box. It gets more technical than all our previous posts, but there is little detailed information out there on this chip that helped launch NVIDIA into success, so we’ve decided to publish this saga here.
