I've used XP64 for years since 2005 so ... the big problem was the lazy companies (like nVidia) not rolling out 64-bit drivers and software firewalls soon enough. :( That's mostly solved by 2007 though and of course, the usual ntvdm not doing dos16/win16 thing you'd come to expect on newer 64-bit …

There was a "QDOS" port that might or might not do this. i forget As for adding streaming music into quake, good luck. Usually the problem is trying to paint consistently into quake's wacky sound buffer code. I wanted Engoo's DOS version to have DUMB's mod playback and ogg playback at one point. Was …

that's really more subjective and you'll likely be comparing the results of DACs.

No I don't and in fact I avoided them like the plague when they were new. Now their dotbomb-era awfulness is a guilty pleasure these days and I wish I had their iMac knockoff, though it's probably a non-upgradeable and likely not so durable 😀

Would be nice to make the allegro setup program it ships with to read from a WAD for the background/samples as well for consistency with say......alternative iwads. it would make it more Free at the same time 😀

If you build yourself the new version from the repository there's extended joystick support that was just committed several days ago, allowing four joysticks and could be configured to be an 8-button joystick or a sidewinder pad

It's possible the Gog versions think they're smart enough to slip in a Glide wrapper, so find a glide2x/3x.dll in Deus Ex/System and eliminate them. it then should use your real voodoo card

meh, feels like a bioshock in a system shock throwback theme, has low fov and bad modern game tropes (ugh the arm animations and the hitboxes), not optimistic we'll see. hopefully it doesn't become Interceptor "quality" when finished *shudder*

it wasn't until Q3 that id released something that did use SIMD (both MMX and SSE used) What Quake does for the pentium are the assembly functions for the span driver to handle more pixels at once, and the lightmap building routine (which is always called whenever there's a dynamic light happening). …

Another to mention that modern hardware sometimes doesn't report compiled vertex array extensions properly to idtech3 games like Q3 so it won't use the fastest drawing path automatically. You may need to force r_primitives 2 on every card you test
