For a 12 mhz cpu it is very playable:) BTW there are two executable files in the game folder(d286cga and d8088cga), I checked both and I don't see any difference(game looks the same and runs also the same), what is the difference between them?

@@greenscreen5994 d8088cga is optimized for 8088 processors and d286cga is optimized for 286 processors. d286cga is smaller, so there's more memory left for the game. In theory, it should be faster. In practice, benchmarking (D286CGA.EXE/D8088CGA.EXE -timedemo demo3) show little difference.

I wonder if an -Os build would do any good?

@@coffee115 The functions that are executed multiple times per frame are compiled with -Ofast, all the other functions with -Os. Compiling everything with -Os decreases performance by 10%.

The entire soundtrack of this game is amazing🙂

Hi, I'll definitely try it, I'm currently having some issues with my 386. Will this port work on a 286 with only 1mb of ram? Anyway, great job!

@@greenscreen5994 It will definitely run on a 286 with 1 MB of RAM, but for a good experience 1.5 MB of XMS memory and 64 kB of EMS memory are recommended.

Back then software renderer may not be impressive but now I really enjoy the look of those big pixels. I remember when shortly after Unreal's premiere I played it on S3Trio 64 card, what an experience it was 😆and Unreal in the 3Dfx version will be in one of the next videos😃

And this is exactly the difference between software and hardware mode. On the one hand, big pixels and low frame rate, and on the other, smooth textures and high frame rate.I will upload "Unreal" with 3Dfx support soon.

I probably messed something up in the camera settings, besides I mess something up with almost every video 😔My speakers work just fine

I will definitely do something about it (when I have some free time) I also suspect another reason for the low performance, namely the processor cooling. I use some unbranded low speed fan and maybe that is why the processor overheats and does not work with full efficiency(but i'm guessing here)

@@greenscreen5994 No that can't be the case because neither the CPU or chipset have any such functionality. I think it's only with the Pentium 4 that Intel added such functionality. Not to mention, the MMX 200 barely consumes 12-15 watts, it doesn't really require much beyond the most basic of heatsinks and fans.

@@F2bnp Today I changed the RAM as you recommended I started with 32MB,then 64MB and even 256MB. The result in Quake 2 (512x384) in each of the above configurations is exactly the same as before, 15.9fps.256mb helped in Unreal, still low frame rate but now there are much less stutters.It is possible that there is something wrong with the 3dfx card, both in Q2 and Unreal there are glitches.

Vsync in the game and in the control panel under the 3dfx graphics card tab is disabled. I have the drivers for the card from Philscomputerlab.com so I have no idea why the fps result is so low. Btw you got great channel:)

its because he has the music off. The game has no motivation to render faster like that 😛

@@De-M-oN It looks like I managed to find the cause of the low frame rate. After removing the Belkin N10117 PCI 5-Port USB Card from the system the frame rate in Quake 2 jumped from 15.9 to 22.3. Other games that previously stuttered (Croc 1, NFS 2SE or Unreal) now run noticeably smoother!

In person it looks way better,recording CRT-s is a pain😐

@@greenscreen5994 Nice, because it already looked pretty cool! Also thanks for the heart =)

I first played Quake 2 in software mode on an S3 Trio 64UV+ card, shortly afterwards I became the proud owner of a 3Dfx VooDoo 1 and that was a completely new experience. Good memories:)

@@greenscreen5994 "PROUD OWNER"... Considering the whopping price for the VooDoo cards...You're absolutely right🤣🤣

I've never used RealPlayer but I'll check it out of curiosity.

Unfortunately you have to do everything yourself as in the tutorial video.I used eight different tools to make those videos: DosBox,VirtualDub,InfranView 64,Freemake Audio Converter,Photoshop CSS,Sled,XDC_COMP and some software to convert video files to avi format which is required by VirtualDub.It is a bit time-consuming process.There is no easy way around:\

It could help a little but today I changed the card to Geforce 3Ti200 and in software mode it works almost exactly as slowly:\

@@greenscreen5994 at this point everybody knew games require now 3D Cards. If there wasnt a financial reason to buy a 3D card, nobody used software anymore. And the most had by now 3D Cards. This game looks the best on the OpenGL Renderer.

Everything is explained in this tutorial video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKelp3hjesSBi7c You can find more information on this site: x86dc.wordpress.com/documentation/xdc-player/

It's a real animated GIF🙃

Thanks for the suggestions I will definitely do some upgrade in the future, but the first thing will be to add more RAM. 256kb is not much, in this case the easiest solution would be to add a PicoMEM card

@@greenscreen5994 -- The V20 is a drop-in replacement. It may cause minor side-effects like a faster starting beep (though not most other sounds since they are routed through the system timer and not bit-banged as in the ROM beep) and possibly video artifacts. There is a malformed loop in the ROM to prevent the snow, and the original CPU and graphics boards mask that. Someone can rewrite the ROM to rework that loop and do some general speedup hacks such as removing stray NOPs that serve no purpose. In addition, if one intends on only using the V20 as the CPU and not swap it (or they want to add detection code and separate code paths for 8088 vs. V20), they can edit code that can benefit from the 186, 286, or V20/V30 instructions that it has and the 8088 doesn't have. An example is the block memory copy opcode.

Hello to Old PC Lover:)

💀

You don't. LOL! Install good ole MS-DOS.

Honestly, these old monitors will outlive many new monitors -like seriously
