Adoom recommended specs
« on: October 24, 2012, 09:04:17 AM »
So what does everyone recommend?

My plan is the following, A500 Plus / 68030 40Mhz / 2MB Chip / 8MB Fast / 4MB (Hopefully 8MB) RAM on the accelerator / Kick 3.1 / Workbench 3.1 / 2GB CF Card / Indivision ECS.

Should be playable?

Have most of it, waiting for the 68030 CPU to turn up and the accelerator and indi to be fixed. Not sure whats wrong with the extra 4MB but will have to wait for it to arrive back to test.

But my end goal would be at least Doom, maybe DOTT/Full Throttle... Might be pushing it to run Quake LOL But always fun to see what one can achieve with a humble A500 :-)

80386 class CPU, 4 MB RAM are the PC specs, doesn't mention Mhz. Will be interesting have watched a few youtube videos about the A600.

Should be playable with indivision ECS. You need to use Picasso driver OR ehb mode.

Quake is out of range, it woun't be even nealy playable, just slideshow. Quake also requires FPU


Thanks utri007. Thought so about Quake, but would be amazing to see Adoom running. Will hopefully wont have much longer to wait and I can put it to the test, post some videos hopefully.

Not nearly enough on Youtube.

To think I switched to a 486sx25 (no math co boohoo) with a Sound blaster 16 back in the day to play Doom :-) Cost me a small fortune LOL

Does Doom attack use the Indi modes?

Good advice, well  hopefully in the next couple of weeks will be able to post some video's :-)

Had a thought that full throttle would be a problem, just fun trying these things out. Amazing what a Amiga can do.
