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)

Dosbox AmigaOS 4 or MorphOS. Do you have gfx card and lots of FAST RAM?

Quake3 is something I would have above 160Mhz G2 class PPC.

huh this thread's a year old, had it running a few days later :)

240Mhz, gfx card, fast RAM, not too bad :-))))))

What is fastest solution, and what do you believe I could expect
when trying the same on SAM460ex with software Warp3D on Radeon4000 HD .... that is 1Ghz, 1Ghz RAM, 256MB VRAM but somewhat not as good as it should be (G3 class CPU, downclocked less CL time, only half of VRAM visible and no hardware 3D)

There is a video on youtube showing this game with permedia 2,whatever the limitation permedia 2 has it does not seem to affect performance.

Do a search Permedia 2 Quake 3 on youtube (on a PC).

From my point of view Bvision should be able to do this given it has a fast enough bus.

Parmedia wasnt really a popular chip on PC gfx cards

Well result is its possible, but even in Windowed mode, hardware is too weak. Why not Quake or Quake 2?
