Gloom Amiga 2000

I'm no Gloom expert but you probably need to specify that you want to run it in ECS mode by a Tooltype or command line switch because it's an AGA/RTG game (I think!).

Your problem may be lack of CHIPRAM, apparently GLOOM needs more that the standard amount.

Have you thought about adding an RTG card to your set up?   If you want to stick with ECS then you could still upgrade it with an Indivision ECS and 2MB CHIPRAM.

I was not really planning to upgrade the A2000 mostly because that stuff is more expensive then shipping an A1200 to Canada would be, and that would solve most of my issues.  Also I ordered a ACA 500 recently and I can get an accelerator for that as well if I want to.

How about ADOOM is it fast enough to run that? I tried it a week ago and all I get is a black screen with some sound from the game.

Hiya,

No OCS/ECS aren't really fast enough for DOOM and that style of game, you really need AGA or RTG to run it well.

Even the ACA with a PPC struggles to run DOOM using ECS

There is a special build for ADOOM that supports the Indivision ECS's chunky mode but it's still pretty slow.


Go for a A1200 and a fast accelerator or an A3000 with a fast RTG card for super speed!

Showconfig shows:

CUSTOM CHIPS: Normal NTSC Agnus (id=$0010), Normal Denise (id=$00FF)

I am not sure what to do now.

Thanks

Easy answer, sell it and buy an A1200

@Novacoder
Did your Wolfenstein port works on ECS?

Apparently it does....
