Title: Selecting a high screen resolution in Quake running on WinUAE
Post by: StevenJGore on May 21, 2003, 04:45:36 PM
Hi,

I just installed Quake on my WinUAE 0.8.22 R6 setup, but I can't select a uaegfx screen resolution higher than "480x360 16Bit PC".

I know that the Picasso96 and RTGMaster software is installed and configured correctly, because the prefs Screenmode selector, Genetic Species, Gloom 3, Trapped 2, etc. all let me select "1024x768 32Bit PC" and these games run fine at this resolution.

Anybody else have this problem with Quake?
Any suggestions?

BTW, ClickBoom have done a fantastic job with the conversion!

..and I'd just like to add that I appreciate the irony (if that's the right word!) of Quake for the PC being converted to run on Amigas, but because my A1200 with 50Mhz 030 is not fast enough to run Quake, I have to run it on a PC in an Amiga emulation environment!  :-D

Thanks!
Steve.

Trying to run quake on a Windoze PC is hell... for me anyway... Linux and amiga is much easier.

Other than not being able to select a screenmode higher than 480x360, Quake runs perfectly in WinUAE on my PC (controls, compatibility, audio, etc. ) and runs lightning fast too.

It's something in your WinUAE settings I'd bet. I can use 800-600 here no problem. The only problem I've seen here is a few screwed up colors and textures, but almost perfect.

Quake shows only a few screen modes on one page. You can scroll through pages using the left and right cursor keys.

Bye,
Thomas

Already found that! (although admittedly it took me a while because it isn't immediately obvious!)

It's when I try and select a higher resolution, such as "1024x768 32Bit PC" (which is the one I want!), that Quake just does nothing. It ignores the keypress. Pressing 'D' to make it the default does nothing either.

Quake doesn't support 32 bit.
