Full hardware acceleration isn't about how they look, it's about how fast they run.
With Namco stuff it's not so important these days since the 2500k became available.
But if you ever want Naomi and other 3d arcade systems to run at full speed within our lifetimes, well, it aint gonna happen without using GPU's.
But the devs have neither the motivation (or maybe the capability) to bother with it.
So people should stop hoping for it to avoid inevitable disappointment.
