Quake 1 on A1200 with pistorm32 rpi4 2.2Ghz 67 fps, Three Demos:

I didin't even knew that Quake 3 has a software renderer It does look quite sad though, but Quake II looks really playable.

Yes, it is VERY slow, the Wazp3D slows it down. Someone should really do a build with the current TinyGL port to 68k instead... would probably make it playable in 640x400

Pistorm32 with Pi3. Full screen 320x256, PAL, AGA.

Video is 320x256

There is new PiStorm firmware version that speed some things up a bit
For the same test with the same hardware I now get 26fps.

Clickboom Quake1 in 320x200 running on latest pistorm32 with rpi4 at 2.2Ghz, getting 55 fps now with the latest chip ram write improvements:

[tron^fr]

what is now the chip memory read / write / copy speed on pistorm32 ?

[itsmedoofer]

I suppose that very much depends on the Pi used and speed it is running. If I understand it correctly some guys with Pi4s are approaching the theoretical maximum of the hardware, can't ask for much more than that...

[Karlos]

I see some glitches on that quake demo. Bad chip ram writes?

I think, but could be wrong, the horizontal line artefacts are due to using ScrollVPort like we had in ab3d2 before double buffering was implemented. In clickboom's Quake I believe you can select the render method in one of the menus. default would probably be the fastest (but slightly glitchy) method ScrollVPort but I remember double and triple buffering being an option.

yeah its defo that, just fired it up in winuae and get 409fps in cpu c2p (posh way of saying ScrollVPort) and almost exactly 60fps in double buffered mode in 320*200 ntsc

Exactly, with double buffer they go away but the fps is lower...

[abu_the_monkey]

yeah using the ScrollVPort method is ok if you can live with the artefacts and screen tearing.

@Karlos

maybe, much further in the future (when all the setup and non speed critical code has been moved over to c) we could reintroduce it as an option for ab3d2?

.

Once you have a C version, anything is doable, I guess.

@Karlos

cool!

@all

sorry for hijacking the thread for a moment there. Carry on

[Calabazam]

Hi.
How would you setup the resolution on AmiQuake RTG? The game launches with a resolution out of range of my monitor.
Thanks.

[NovaCoder]

Edit the modes file in the game directory I think

For AGA 256 colors mode, Quake demo3 320x200 NTSC should be able to reach 47.23 fps with stock Raspberry Pi 4B and work-in-progress gateway PiStorm32 Lite firmware with 7.1 MB/s write Chip RAM performance.

I'm using Sam Devulder's Quake setup from Coffin R58.

Hope it's not too off topic, but here's a short article from the April 1997 issue of Amiga Format about the first Quake port running on a high end machine at 'about 15 FPS':

[Seiya]

i remember it. i finished Quake on 68040@40, aGA at 1 fps with big monsters.
I not used clickboom version and was also without sounds.
