AmiQuake 2 AGA and Apollo 1260 32 MB of RAM

[Lurch]

I looked at the ribbon idea, ribbon cable soldered to the apollo and then to a SIMM socket. Problem would be the length you could go with it.

It would need to run to the left and then back, wouldn't want it covering the fan of the apollo.

Was going to get it done but was told a 100 euro.... my soldering abilities I wouldn't attempt it myself, wouldnt want to damage the apollo.

The other option I was playing with his virtual memory, which I've managed to get working quite well. But breaks my WHDLoad with it running, haven't had a chance to test it with much, but avail command and sysinfo report the extra VM RAM running.

Tried a couple of demo's which also worked, where before I was getting not enough RAM messages. But haven't really tested it further.

If someone is willing to try the ribbon idea for a reasonable price I'd be keen. :-)

Can't put a flat SIMM on mine due to the CPU fan, even though it's a very flat fan, unless I'm missing a trick there?

AmiQuake 2 aga runs really well on an 060@80MHz going by Nova's video.

TBH I'm not sure it's worth spending any more on my 1200, I can play Doom and SCUMMVM at full speed and that's all I really wanted :-)

There are only a couple of demo's that need more than 32MB. I haven't had much of a performance hit using VM memory but then again I'm using a FastATA which gives good seek times :-)

Will be even faster once I ditch the CFCard and go back to a standard 2.5" HDD.

I was going to buy a case from Loriano but can't afford it anymore. Sent him an email as I was backing it before the kickstarter started. Never got a reply back, felt bad I had to pull out :-(

Might see if I can get the cash before the kickstarter finishes :-(

Quake 2 is never going to be 'fast' on AGA, I'm just trying to get it playable

latest BETA

Looks okay to me, okay it's not as smooth as on a PC. But still playable :-)
