cl_drawviewmodel 0 also I think MDK2 should join the testing since that has a checkbox for using HW T&L, see if that makes a difference 😀

1152x864x32@75Hz desktop, 1280x960/1024x32@60Hz for gaming. I had a Geforce2 GTS.

In some cases you'll have a chance of FINDING some deprecated Pentium system than buying one, so keep an eye out.

GLQuake doesn't slow down as much since it doesn't update dynamic lights by default (unlike Quake2 which does). Dynamic light update = CPU eating + Slow bus transfer texture upload = 8048ouch. gl_flashblend ultimately determines the 486's framerate fate 😀

FYI - this thread was actually bumped by a now deleted advertising post about a facebook game, probably from googling 'cyberpunk' for potential markets to spam in.

I had no problem on a similar Pentium IV system either.

Just at least DirectX 7.0a and KernelEx. I've had Unofficial Servicruft pack 3 bring a system to a startup General Protection Error before, so I wouldn't trust that either. Probably interfered with my MSVC6 stuff

It's been released 10 months ago. I haven't really worked on this in 2014 at all, being focused on something else critical.

it's sadly slightly a few months too new to be a Ben Curtis tribute system :( but if I had stumbled onto one i'd go full dork age on it. XP with the Luna, Plus, UT2003, Sims expansions, JK2, ZoneAlarm, "xp games" collections, XCOM Enforcer etc... and give it the worst possible video card to run Deus …

well don't get excited, it's not a very playable game by any stretch........but many clinged on it for the novelty of a third dimension (AND LENS FLARES AND SPHEREMAPPED WATER!!!) before Worms 3D (all the way up to Worms Ultimate Mayhem) showed you can't ever artillery games well in the third …

When I viewed pictures then it was CompuShow for me. CompuShow 2000 even animated gifs and displayed their comments. Never was a fan of their windows versions

- Tried to convert and import the original Adlib OPL timbres: That part succeeded, but the allegro adlib.c driver does not work well with it; it sounds worse then the default timbres. To be continued? What about disregarding Allegro for FM music completely and port code out of Chocolate Doom? Not …
