Quake III on MorphOS (details turned up = slow down)
« on: September 27, 2010, 08:49:23 PM »
I'm running Quake III on an eMac under MorphOS, but when I turn all the details on, it slows down horribly.

Why would this be? I thought this game was old and could run without any issues on hardware that came out around the eMac era...
-----------------------
System requirements:

3D graphics accelerator with full OpenGL support, Pentium II 233 MHz or AMD 350 MHz K6-2 processor or Athlon processor, 64 MB RAM, 8 MB video card, 500 MB of free hard drive space, 100% DirectX 3.0 or higher compatible sound card, CD-ROM drive (600 kB/s sustained transfer rate)

I'm pretty sure I more than have that covered right?

Always the GFX RAM. Damn! :/

I just noticed that, it looks like the minimum system ram is 64Mb not the GFX RAM. If that's the case, Quake III should be a happy camper on my eMac.

I'm really starting to wish I'd never bought the eMac and would have held out for better hardware in future versions of MorphOS.

Now if I want to experience MorphOS in all it's glory I have to buy new hardware and a new key file.

I was thinking in classic Amiga terms, thinking anything above 2Mb or GFX RAM would carry me through the day. I never expected this. :/

Like I'm really going to install Mac OS on my Mac. :)

Can't wait for that port of Wolfenstein btw!
