anyone ever tried running quake(dos version of course) on 386 machines? i tried but it simply failed to load, with only one line of error message:
OMPT=: cannot open
the main components are:
amd386dx-40
cyrix fastmath 83d87-40
16mb dram
tseng et3000 256kb vga card
does anyone know whats the cause of the failure?
is quake simply incompatible with 386+387 cpus or something? i did run it on 486 many years ago, and there isn't major difference other than speed between 386 and 486. but then, the official duke3d executable also fails to run on 386 and one needs to hack it.
