Quake 3 on OS4 Classic

[Crumb]

Hello sirs! I have a funny subject that is bound to cause some controversy. Or at least thats what I hope, coz I cant get answers anywhere else.. Here we go:
 
Is it possible to run Quake 3 on an Classic Amiga running OS4.0 classic?
 
I mean, I tried.. but it crashed. and before I dive into OS4 (have barely touched it since I have this machine) I need to know whether it can be done at all.
 
What do I need for this to work? (Obviously Q3 + patch, as stated in the readme, but I've got those)

I ran it on the slowest BlizzardPPC with Voodoo3 and it was very very slow even on post stamp size. I remember 2fps :-D Perhaps it's slightly faster with G-Rex on MorphOS but I wouldn't expect any miracle.

Also, waiting for the game to load over my motherboard IDE was not great

Perhaps it's time to hack 53c710 scsi driver to work on BlizzardPPC? Radoslaw Kujawa already added support for both scsi and g-rex and perhaps he could give you some hints, you can even check out BSD sources  :-)

Drivers may possibly need to improve as one user posted a difference in benchmark between morphOS & OS4.x but I am no programmer so maybe someone can explain the difference in benchmark figures.

You could test MorphOS 1.4.5 in your machine. It's no longer possible to register but since demo is limited to 2 hours you'll have enough time to test stuff. OWB 1.16 works on MorphOS PowerUp :-) If you need help I did a small guide (I tested it quite a lot with A3000/A4000 and not so much with A1200):

Then you could install a more or less recent MUI4 beta and an updated Ambient (more similar to 2.x ones). Change MUI menu delay to 0seconds too. IIRC there was also a default font that wasn't available and with default config it worked slower than it should.

Now that RoadShow is available you could also install RoadShow.
