- I'm absolute Amiga fanatic, but I face the facts:
-
- DOOM was starting a new gaming aera. unfortunately this happened on
- the PC.
-
- They refused to port it to the Amiga, they tell "due to hardware",
- but it's due to market.
-
- Unfortunately people still believe wrong things about AGA-doom
- ("too slow"). They tell AGA is too slow ("planar","bandwidth").
-
- Well, I tested doom on a 386sx-25. I tested cpu speed vs my 020-14+fast.
- it is slightly faster in integer, but slower in fastmem acess, so I don't
- guess it is much faster in rendering a doom scene in fastmem.
-
- SO TELL ME WHY THE DAMN DOOM IS FASTER THAN ANY CLONE I SAW
- EVEN ALTHOUGH THE BANDWIDTH OF THAT BLOODY VGA IS 1.75MB/SEC ?
- HUH ?
-
- phew. sorry I had to get rid of this.
-
- forget all those "it's AGAs fault" excuses, they are not true
- (I admit a gfx-card gives some little fps more if cpu is
- very fast).
- It's software. and Amiga cpus are slower than pentium pro.
- but for dooming those blizzard1230 are imho very well suited.
-
- we just miss the software.
-
- : I don't see why I/we should ignore the rest of the world and sit in our own
- : corner, reinventing the wheel.
- yep.
