Ah yes, I did some RPi hacking back in the day. Here is a link to a thread about a port I made of the darkplaces game engine to the pi. I did quite a bit of tweaking to optimize performance and enable the compiled shader feature on the gpu. Among other things it was used for testing overclocking because nothing else heated up the pi like this game engine:

Hi all,
This is some little thing I do every third Sunday. Now hosted at SudoRoom since I became a member.
Anyways, Just a little group to hang around and work on Pi projects or whatever.
Maybe like a Sunday afternoon edition of Hardware Hack.

So I have a couple of the PI 5 and just received some nvme hats. Going to see if I can get the Pi to boot off nvme. Also if there is time maybe see if can connect pcie devices to the m.2 port.

All are welcome to come by. Pi or no Pi.

Also I would like to plan for the February meetup. I want to do something special. Because 12 years ago on Feb 29th the first Raspberry Pi was released and here we are at another leap year.
My idea is to submit an official event to the Raspberry Pi foundation (They call this a Pi Jam)
We would be listed on their webpage (seen by people all over the world) and maybe get some swag out of it. I expect at least 2 or 3 Pi 5 kits.
Also we would likely have a few new people come by and see the space.
I think a Meetup event page would bring 10 or so new people.
Maybe you have something you'd like to show off or demo.
I welcome ideas.

Thanks, Thomas
