Yeah Photex engine was definitely advanced for its time but also an incredible spaghetti code. Partly it is also the fault of coding standards back then, they had to do a lot of workarounds to get stuff working and those workarounds add another layer of difficulty in porting the code over to newer render software.

That looks quite promising. I hope he reads this, we're all willing to help!
Terminal Fury. Hmm.. bring backs memories, I called my TV windows port using the Fury3 engine the same way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DI4EQ43HeA

Been wanting to reply to this for a while now. Funnily enough, TerminalFury actually has some shared origins with your project.

Before I got the source code to Terminal Velocity/Fury3/Hellbender, it started as a reverse-engineered patch of Terminal Fury, done in IDA Pro, to bump it up to 640x480 resolution, and add support for higher sample rate sound effects. Then, once I got the source, I applied those same changes to the actual source in a modified version of the Fury3 codebase. Then eventually, I ported Hellbender back into Fury3's CyberUI interface (since the Hellbender MFC one is a spaghetti code nightmare that's hard to compile), and the name just kind of stuck, because it fits considering it supports all of Terminal Velocity, and the Fury series (Fury3/Hellbender aka. Fury6 in code).

Also, I am definitely looking for some help, because I'm currently stuck with some things, main thing is getting everything ported over to OpenGL world space and getting the rotation/translation/scale all working on the GPU instead of having Photex handle that all before uploading to the GPU polygon by polygon (which is incredibly slow).

Nice timing! I was using terminalFury (the classic one) yesterday to debug JTraxx TV/F3 level support. So you took F3 code and basically added ground box support. Makes me wonder how much of a mess is the HB code.

To give you an idea... there's some legacy HB code inside the MTM2 code

Took me forever to understand it doesn't apply to MTM. I kept wondering what is the purpose of it until I finally realized it belongs to a different game.
