How do I get Quake to run?

DungeonMaster85 · 03 December 2020, 19:39

Hello!
I am a big fan of Quake, and would love to get it to run on the Commodore Amiga. My current setup is an A1200, 68060 and ppc, radeon graphics card, and more than enough RAM. I downloaded the RTG version of amiquake, and moved the pak files to the right location, but whenever I try to launch it nothing happens. The error log says "couldn't find any supported display modes."

How can I fix this?

You need to install picasso96 and configure suitable screenmodes for the game to use. What version of quake are you trying to play? 68K or PowerPC?

Right now, 68k and PPC. I have Picasso96 installed, but only 3 screenmodes configured. What is the appropriate screenmode?

Ok, I set up a bunch more screenmodes, and now I'm getting an error stating VID_Setmode: Unable to set initial mode

Try QuakeWOS from Aminet, it works in RTG and AGA, without 3D hardware rendering you need to run at 320x240, if you have a Voodoo or Bvision you can try Blitzquake which uses Warp3D (mininGL rendering)

Yesss!!!!!!! Thank you! It now works perfectly, playing at a perfect frame rate. This topic is now closed

Glad to help, Amiquake is 68k only, whilst it's a great port for 68060 since you have PPC QuakeWOS is better for you
