    Warp3D and Wazp3D aren't the same.

    Warp3D is a driver/API for hardware accelerated 3D graphics and it originated from classic Amiga, and it requires that the used 3D graphics hardware is supported by it. It's obsolete on MorphOS and all new software is using TinyGL instead. Warp3D compatibility has been for old Amiga software and it seems that MorphOS team hasn't seen it worth updating for newer cards anymore.

    Wazp3D, on the other hand, is a software implementation of Warp3D and it does not require 3D hardware support. So, Wazp3D should work on any card, even if cards don't have real 3D acceleration. To my understanding, Wazp3D should work on all possible cards on MorphOS, and it kind of emulates the hardware acceleration provided by Warp3D. It's probably slower and might not look as pretty as real 3D acceleration, but with it you'd be able to run Warp3D software on systems/cards without the real Warp3D support.
