Quake

Ok, so I managed to get Quake, and just installed it.

My setup is an A2500 with a Blizzard 060 card, 32mb of ram, a Picasso II+ vid card and OS 3.9.

Quake runs ok but is really only playable at 320x240.

My question - I also have a Picasso 4. How much more would it improve things? Ie. would I be able to play at 640x480?

I got 6.4 FPS....I'll swap in the Pic4 and see what I get tomorrow.

Tell us your quake fps with that system? I belive that Picasso 4 is one of the best cards made for amiga. It is proven that it doesn't give any performance increase compared to zorro 2 vs. zorro 3

Sorry, I didn't get around to testing. I'll get to it this week sometime. That said, based on I read here there's no way in hell I'll get to play it a decent resolution. Which sucks. But still, the fact that it was even released for the Amiga is pretty cool IMO.

Maybe Steam will port Portal for the Amiga

Which would be good because it keeps crashing on my PC

Ok, so I installed my Pic IV, ran the same timerefresh demo I did with my Pic II+

...and....

It was barely faster with 6.8fps vs. 6.4fps.

Sigh.
