For the best frame rate (depending the type of cpu) you can install some patches to your system and you can look the speed up of all, system, games, demos etc

best set up is this:

1- Install blizkick with all modules
2- if you have mediator & voodoo, put the mediator in mmu mode and the voodoo to 172mhz
3- Install MMUlibs and his tools
4- Install oxypatcher too
5- Install MCP 1.41 or similar version
6- -Only for AGA-, install FBLIT

With all the system is a lot of extra speed (requires 68030/040/060 with mmu & fpu)

and now, play doom =)

Good tip there DaNi, i will follow them :-)

 I have 128Mb of RAM in my CD32, but it ran just fine when I had 32Mb.

 I believe it was DoomAttack that I used...........I cant get it to run anymore............not sure why.............maybe due to OS3.9.

hmmmmmm I should try running WADs from RAM, then I will really fly :-)

I guess that mostly did the trick
I tried running Doom on a 486DX, 66Mhz, with 4Mb, and it was kinda too slow (but I'm not easily satisfied)

If CGX v3 was much faster than Picasso96, why not use it instead?

Worked fine on my old A1200 030/40. I managed to get 15 - 20 FPS full screen with low detail by using a couple of shell commands before running it. I can't remember what they were but I do remember reading about them in a copy of AF that had a guide on how to make Quake faster. It was something like open cache... maybe someone else can remember.
