Are you sure it looks any different? My experience is that
W3D_GetTexFmtInfo() returns FAST for A1R5G5B5 but not for R5G6B5 on
Permedia2. I.e, Warp3D does not support 16bit textures in hardware on
Permedia2. You can select a 16bit screen mode and you can render to
all 16 bits with conventional 2D functions, but only 15bit 3D textures
can be used.
