Quake II on a 68060 @ 50Mhz?
« on: June 14, 2003, 09:26:18 PM »
I was just browsing on the formatt homepage in the UK and I clicked on Quake II in the software section and I was suprised to read the system requirements as follows:

PPC equipped Amiga (WarpOS) or 68060/50MHZ with 64MB

I might be wishing here, but can someone confirm, does Quake II run on a 68060 @ 50Mhz???

Yes, it does run on a 68060 and in fact faster than the original Quake from Clickboom.

It will run on 060, but you'll be much happier if you have a BVision and can run in 3D hardware accelerated mode. Otherwise, you won't have much fun.

The 060 version requires a Warp3D-supported graphics card. You can select the software renderer, but I wouldn't recomment that.
Look out, I\'ve got a gun

How about under WinUAE? Clickboom's Amiga Quake runs like lightning on my 2.5ghz P4  :-)

Why not just play the Linux or Windows version on natively?

Indeed. Q2 isn't very pretty without 3D acceleration, and UAE will never get that, and Q2 on Windows budget label is far cheaper than Amiga Q2, so why bother? Seems silly to me.

To be able to use Warp3D software on UAE, Hyperion (or anyone else) must release a 68k software renderer... (I know a PPC software renderer already exists)

Or we may dream of a Warp3D<->Direct3D wrapper ;))

It's not quite that simple. Even the software renderer is card specific (for example, it doesn't work on my Pegasos). And it even if it was, it would be REAL slow and still would look no better than the built in software renderer of Q2 - in fact, it would probably look worse. It doesn't support fog, antialiasing, coloured lighting, alpha, mipmapping, blending or any of that stuff.

I think that previledge is better left in the hands of the people who pay considerable amounts of cash and/or development time for A1 systems. I still don't see why UAE users can't just use Windows equivalents of the software.

Can anyone tell me how QuakeII would run on a Cyberstorm MKIII 68060 66Mhz, CybervisionPPC and 128Mb RAM????

Nicely, I would expect.

The only feature you wouldn't get is coloured lighting, which is due to the lack of chromatic blending on the permedia 2.

Is the coloured lighting noticable at all? Would Quake II still look descent enough using the CybervisionPPC (DCE Version) ?

Well I wouldnt notice the loss of coloured lighting  much being as I'm colour blind :-)

It should look fine on the CVPPC. You still get bilinear filtering, transparency and other effects. Perhaps it's slightly less atmospheric with monochromatic lighting, but I expect not many people ever noticed!

Compared to software mode the quality (and speed) on the CVPPC is superb.
