ADoomPPC (run with the ppclibemu) runs fine on my 603e card / bvision. It's lightning fast in the default 320x200 and comfortbly so in 320x400. 640x400 is noticably slower but still playable. You need to use directcgx and double / triple buffering for the best performance.

Pity the 603/604 cards had no L2 (hardly feasable given they share the memory with the 680x0 of course) cache - that would have helped enormously.

@Lando

That's pretty odd. In the default resolution, ADoomPPC hits the refresh rate of my monitor on the 603e :-/

Were you using directcgx?

On the whole, the lack of L2 cache is one of the biggest problems
