It is kind of weird that most developers do not know about the existance of the TEV


LOL I am pretty sure that they know about the TEV. but although this may allow for some of the effects that are normally provided by shaders its not the same.

a)Its apparently pretty limited so you have to do quite a few pre-computations on CPU,
b) its most likely not even close as powerful and
c) its a completely different programming model to what everyone else is using and has therefore similar problems as the CELL processor of the PS3. Devs don't use it if they can get away without using it.

Well, developers may know it exists, but they don't know what its capabilities are. That's saddening. But I think it's completely Nintendo's fault.
