Well, I've known about Renderware for quite some time, but today I discovered something new.

Apparently there's an ATRAC3 decoder middleware, called "S-Force". I noticed it during the credits for Arc the Lad: Twilight of the Spirits (PS2). I've never heard anything about it before, has it been used in other games?

And do you have any further examples of middleware created for this gen?

Hey, what about AV-X...AD-X something...the logo is seen in several Sega games. Is it some kind of movie compression technique?

ADX is a sound middleware developed by CRI and largely used by Sega. Their video middleware Sofdec kicks so much ass, crystal clear video at great speeds.
