Pixel and Vertex Shader Emulator

I searching a Pixel and Vertex Shader Emulator for Riva TNT 2. I want to run Morrowind with nice water.

Is it even possible to emulate those? If so, then it would in my oppinion be logical that it would require alot of CPU time.

ive never heard of anything like that. the closest to that which i have seen is a 3dfx glide wrapper, but those are pointless in modern games.

i'm surprised you can run morrowind well on a tnt2, it ran like a pig on my 5200

Not possible to emulate at all...

I checked the internet a bit and it seems like there are emulators for those, but I don't think they work too well in games. According to a forum I read they got a leaked alpha of Doom 3 to work on a GeForce 2 card by using NVemulator. Without the program D3 didn't work.

hmmm, never heard to nvemulator, either way like the 3dfx emulators it'll be a real processor hog, its not gonna make for playable frame rates in my opinion if there is such a thing anyway
