I prefer using the software renderer in the doom ports anyway.

:p

My family's four year old machine can run some N64 games just fine, and it doesn't even have a separate graphics card. It's got Intel (R) Integrated Graphics.

Unless I really need to make another thread about it. We did have a lot of fun last time I made an attempt at such a thing. I remember we deal with the likes of myself, K, DD and Colin all in DOOM either in co-op or deathmatch. Man having Colin as a 'target Pikachu' was funny as hell.

I perfer the latest binaries from the Zdoom SVN, because they have a lot of awesome new tools for modding - like all the powerup effects from Skulltag...

And my card is a Voodoo 3 - which means that while it sucks at OpenGL and has to use a homebrewed OpenGL "emulator" called Mesa3D, it rocks ass at Glide stuff like Quake 3, UT99 and possibly the best N64 graphics plugin ever - glN64.

Oddly enough, using this same Mesa3D tool as this somewhat poorly GZDoom screenshot, the unofficial updated glQuake works flawlessly. Guess GZDoom is a little touchy about such things...

Look at the tab at the top of the window: "You know what sucks? -Acmlm's Board"

My internet browser speaks the truth. D:

Also... 57% health... level 1? xD Better go practice.

EDIT: Unless of course you're on Nightmare, in which case I have no room to talk.

Yeah I was just gonna say that... but even on NM that's weak

Unless the video card made it impossible to see the enemies.
