Software is pretty darn good now:

It does have the "water wave effect" over the entire screen though. The bug in hardware works a bit differently - the "wave" effect only affects the area of the screen where the water at one point was displayed. Here, it's just the entire screen no matter what.
Anyway, using hardware now (GE to textures on), the "wave" effect is unchanged but now the background is not rendered - it's just black now.

Better with GE to textures off, but now the water is not rendered and that area simply displays the background.

Also, I noticed a huge speed hit (full speed > half speed) in 3rd Birthday going from r2476 to r2482. Not good. Any ideas what happened there?
