I'm lightly involved in xboxmod's TF3Dv2 port. My contributions have mainly been patches to background images/rendering, aside from the obvious of CFC compression being used.
From the thread on XDA-Developers:

The Raphael Elite Project ROM is the Touch Pro version of the well know "Project" series. This series is aimed at providing a professional ROM for advanced users, with all the things you need out-of-the-box.
While originally porting TF3D to QVGA - as partner to the Kaiser D3D/OpenGL Drivers project - I had to make some heavy modifications to the OpenGL interface TF3D used. I also needed to convert the VGA imagery to QVGA.
The original show-off app for the Kaiser D3D/OpenGL Drivers project. Heavy porting and hacking was involved to create this, and many Kaiser ROMs include it these days. Created in co-operation with the HTC Class Action website.
WMRegOptimizer is a small tool that tries to optimize registry access - "defrag" it, if you will. It doesn't perfectly defrag it, but it goes a long way. This results in somewhat faster registry access for applications where this is the bottle-neck.
FireROM was a prestege thing: the first custom ROM available for the GSM Touch Pro (Raphael). It was basically a stock ROM, cleaned up, tweaked, and adding a couple of very handy programs I personally like to use.
We all know about the driver issues on HTC drivers. In co-operation with the HTC Class Action website and a few other hackers we ported D3D and OpenGL drivers to the HTC Kaiser (TyTN II).
ROMCompare as a tool originally written to detect slight differences between ROMs. With having people test cutting edge things on their devices it is a handy tool for when problems occur and often makes tracking down the problem simple and fast.
