Bmax, (Unlike Baulders gate), uses 3d acceleration for all graphics. So if you graphics gard isnt 3d accelerated you endup using software emulation of the 3d chipset.
So things of the Baulders gate era used the 2d acceleration to achieve (say), sprites. Bmax is using 3d software emulation of 3d acceleration to use 3d textures to fake 2d sprites.
If you need your program to run on low end machines, then you need to find a 2d Engine that uses real 2d accleration. The only one I can think of atm is "Ion 2D", which is the cobra 2d command set for Bmax. However I dont think its available, just in the pipe line.
Possibly you could try Dreamotion, which may or may not have 2d acceleration.
This was of more importance when BMax first came out, but people seem to mention it less and less as time went by, so I imagine that the number of 2d only accelerated stuff is less and less. However with talk of Bmax for Moble phones and Handheld Pc I imagine that the people in the Know are going to do something about it.
