Don't you mean where is the X1000?

I imagine it would need to be completed first.

I never thought I'd see the day when someone would be willing to pay nearly $3000 to play DOOM 3. :)

Not meant to troll in the negative sense.  I'm just concerned that the doom3 gift  went
unmentioned. In the glory days of Amiga gaming, when shelves
were stocked with A1200 accelerators, and Aminet servers needed water-cooling, the
announcement of a major game codebase being released would have acted on.
(perhaps this one is, but I have not heard?) I would love to see new mods like a
Genetic Species clone using the d3 engine, running on Sam 460, G4 Morphos,
X1000, and any Amiga system that could handle it.
Cheers

:)Ann.lu:) fond memories, wish the price of coffee was the same as back then!

A 17" G4 powerbook sure would make a nice gaming console!

Seriously, i'd like to know from a coder what would be the playability of Doom 3 on a Sam460?    Is it worth porting?

According to the Wikipedia page on id Tech 4, it needs a card of the GeForce 3/Radeon 8500 generation with a minimum of 64MB, and the recommended card is more like a 128MB Radeon 9700. Sounds like CPU horsepower is a lot less significant than I remember hearing at the time of release, but the alleged requirement is a 1.5GHz CPU (x86,) so there's your basis for comparison.

I'd say its portable and could be well playable for speed requirements but I have no clue if the 3d drivers are evolved enough on OS4...

I remember my 3.4 GHz lappie with 128 MB go5700 ran it pretty choppy so probably the minimum cards mentioned don't do it too well.

24 fps 800X600 medium quality on old Powerbook G4s

If Sams bus/memory architecture is better than Powerbook,
it may be very playable. :)

Ugh...D3 was a friggin' slideshow on my P4/GF5950.  'course that whole setup had issues (not enough RAM, 4x AGP max, etc. etc.)  Needless to say my current machine can handle it a tad better (Athlon II x2, 4gb RAM, GF550ti, etc. etc. :) )

Okay, so who's going to do the port to Aros/Morphos/AOS/Amithlon? :)
