Well, just one that my mother plays, Hong Kong Mahjong Pro. It only works on Trident or Tseng Labs chips. Also Populous 2 that I remember.

Yes, I know it tries to emulate a S3 card, but my point was do you think down the line you could try to emulate other specific cards, since as I said, many old games featured SVGA support only on specific chipsets.
