RouteFree was founded by Chinese-American entrepreneur Dr. Wei Yen, who previously worked at [[Silicon Graphics]] on the Nintendo 64 development team. He then started [[ArtX]] to develop graphics hardware for PC motherboard chipsets, and was asked by Nintendo to assist with the development of the GameCube; after ArtX was bought out by [[ATI]], he formed RouteFree to assist with Nintendo's future projects.
