On auto, when it detects a protected mode program, it'll go to maximum possible cycles you can emulate (to be fair, auto was implemented when people complained constantly about how slow Doom runs at 3000 cycles being the normal default, and there was no Core i7). You can set this to use a percentage …

I don't think Ctrl+# is good for cores either, some strategy games will use those keys, and some simulators may use that combination for external views.

This is not a DOSBox problem as this also occurs on very fast machines in native DOS. Lower your cycles or change your resolution.

I got Q3 sorted today, had to find the right patch to make it run on Windows 98se. For some reason it won't let me swap from "default" rendering and to Voodoo. Not sure why. Try manually setting r_glDriver to 3dfxvgl (or 3dfxogl in some cards). All versions of Q3 should work on 98se. Ioq3 doesn't …

Just chop off the .zip extension. .pk3 isn't allowed on Vogons :( -GLSL instead of the q3 shader system That would be fine if you parsed the old shaders just to layer textures or find tcGens and substitute other effects for it like cubemapping reflecting the current scene in GLSL. At least have two …

Here's an edited Q3A with paletted texture support, among other minor things (forcing nearest in software GL, hor+ widescreen, etc). Edited source files included. Because of those two benchmark threads, i've decided to get this out sooner. To use palettes, set r_textureBits 8. r_ext_paletted_texture …

You wouldn't like any Linux flavor either. It's pretty constricting to 'try' it on a small partition, then it insists you must use your home folder for everything, and games being installed to /usr/share or something that definitely sin't the familiar tune to "D:\Games\"

I always thought "Quake3 supports HW T&L" to be a myth, IMO. It does use complied vertex arrays if you use r_primitives 2 however. Perhaps that's where the whole T&L placebo comes from, and I never had any miraculous performance jump with that...

It's a hastily-made rival game (and IT SHOWS!!!!). It totally wanted to be part of that short-lived musclecar auto combat genre by hitting SimCopter a few times to be such a thing, relying on the LoadYourSC2Files feature to make up for the losses.

Judging from the heavy bezier camera movement and zooming, and the plasma noise water bump i'd think it's prerendered in Lightwave 5.0. The cover for the related game Streets of SimCity supports this theory as well since Lightwave had support for rendering anamorphic streaks in its elaborate lens …
