Great work as usual :)

Sadly I still only have a low performance Amiga, so cant use Quake.

Out of curiosity, I assume this require FPU for good performace.
Is it possible to compile without FPU requirement? The reason why I ask is because Im soon a Vampire owner, like many. And for now there isnt a FPU included in the FPGA (will probarly change eventually).

@Cosmos and Xebec

Thanks for reply! And sounds promising. Quake 1 is my favourite other than Quake Arena.

It seems it's now time to try it on Vampire II ;)

:) we shouldnt get carried away. Its afterall in its development phase.
Last report I heard regarding the FPU, it only worked with SYSINFO, but thats been the case with everything.

They will squash bugs and add missing instructions. So eventually it will be working with Quake (I hope).
From what has been said, ATLEAST 4 weeks until they are done with the FPU support.
