Doom on Amiga Forever with 6 core AMD

[smerf]

Hi,

Just want you all to know I just loaded up Doom on Cloanto's Amiga Forever.
I am running it at 1280 by 1020 at about 60 fps, with sound. Not bad for an emulator.
Plays Megaball great, and  Soliton plays real nice while Aminet mods play in the background. Still trying to set up my WorkBench to make it look and feel like I want it.

Yeah, sort of puts the old A4000 to shame, but then you have to remember Amiga Forever is being run by the latest and greatest hardware for gaming.

CUSA = bah humbug, they are trying to sell a mini board. Let them get down to brass tacks, my setup only cost around $700.  

OK

$730 with monitor, a gateway vx900t, 20 inch. Have a 24 inch LCD on my Intel Quad Core but have to go to the 6 core in my computer room upstairs because the wife wants to sleep.

Wow, I totally agree.

As someone who used WinUAE for years and THEN bought AmigaForever I think I can see the difference.

It's mostly about convenience. I can instantly try out an Amiga1000 ! (which I haven't seen in a dogs age)
I can use my A3.9 OS programs. When i had my WinUAE I had to spend a long time setting it up. With AF, it's almost instant.
I can try out AmiKit (although mine got borked for some unknown reason), and AmigaOS. Which is great because these are ready made setups.

PLus, the Premium Edition has historic videos and images. I am one of these people that believes in keeping History alive.

Plus, the updates are automatic - assuming your system is online, of course.

contrary to what some may think my money was well spent and I like my AF.

Hi,

I totally agree  with you, I like winuae and have bought every edition that they have brought out since 2005 basically for their support and to keep them going. I believe that good programming effort deserves to be supported. I am not cheap, and basically do not expect anything for nothing. I would be sending money for registration for IDEfix97 if the place where I was going to send the money was still open.

Yeah, your observation that uae is free, I know this from using Ubuntu Linux and use it on there, but I miss the major attractions of Amiga Forever.

The best thing I like about using AF is that I am saving my Amiga silicon, I don't have to worry about burning something up in my classics. So all of you can act Karlos like and say why are you spending money on something that is free?

(What does it take to yank this guys chain)

I think you mean Doom on WinUAE  Cloanto didn't write any part of that code there. Amiga Forever is just WinUAE + free crap @ arse raping 30 euros :roflmao:

Hi,
