It runs very reasonably on my 030-50MHz with 8MB RAM. Please continue your efforts, as they are most appreciated. [...] I'm enjoying your ADoom port more every day! It's one slick piece of work! [...] Again, thanks a lot for the port! I have had really a lot of fun on my Ami thanks to your efforts. It won't be forgotten! [...] I will say, however, all in all it all runs in an impressive speed on my 030-50MHz. Much faster than I would have thought possible! Your Doom port is something magical! (It's sort of scaring me now!) [...] I've been playing Doom II with ADoom v0.6 for the last few hours, and I can wholeheartedly say: YAHOOOO!!!!! GREAT, GREAT FUN!!!! Oh yeah! It is fast, fast, fast on my 030 now. On some scenes it's even faster than my 486 PC. Of course with some complex views, it's a bit slower. ;) [...] I downloaded v0.8 and tried it, and it is MOST COOL!!! Now that the popping in the music is gone, the game has a really polished feel! And, I noticed on some simpler levels, the engine really speeds up on my 030 (up past 10fps). [...] ADoom v1.1 is awesome! I can actually run it in 320x240 with no noticable slowdown! I tried 640x400, 640x480, even 704x500 (which looked incredible!). All of them a barely playable on my machine, but the resolution was truly impressive looking! Very cool! How *do* you do it? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benjamin YORIS <afe@mygale.org> writes: By reducing a bit the screen size (2 times from the maxsize) the result is very impressive on my Apollo 1240/40 Mhz NTSC. Congratulations !! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Simon Kempster" <skempster@enterprise.net> Very impresive, for such a short period of time. :) I've checked out the other ports that I could find, and yours is definitely the best so far. Now, if you could just get the speed up a bit... [...] My machine is A1200 + Blizzard 1260 + 16Mb Fast RAM. Standard AGA, no graphics card. [...] I wrote to you a couple of weeks ago about ADoom 0.1, saying that I was impressed, but if you could just get the speed up... Well, ADoom 0.5 absolutely *flies* on my Blizzard 1260 now - definitely the fastest of the available Doom ports for my machine. Bloody good work! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dominique Harelle <dharelle@mpx.com.au> writes: I download you version of Doom yesterday and think that it's great. I have been trying to setup AmiDoom but have trouble with getting the sound to work properly, small screen corruption and the game freezing when you select a menu option. Your version doesn't display any of these problems, sound works without the need for AHI. The graphics look as they should on a 320x240x256 CGFX screen and it play very smoothly indeed. [...] Well done for a good game port and thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David Wahlberg <hergeir@algonet.se> writes: I have tested ADOOM with the sharware wad.I have an A1200 with Blizzard 1230-IV and it works great!. Not fullscreen, but close. And with some Optimation for AGA and 020+, it would be even better. So i wish to thank you for bringing us this great game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lars Nelson <lars@infohwy.com> writes: Thank you so much for ADoom. I would like to buy the Amiga Port when Networking support is finished. I used it on a low-res CyberGraphX screen, and it plays without a problem. I like it better than the one at www.pluk.com because yours has sound support, and did not crash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Gareth Murfin <gazy@globalnet.co.uk> writes: This letter concerns Adoom. Firstly id like to tell you what you've done. You have brought the very finest the gaming world has to offer to Amiga, you have given us a PERFECT conversion of Doom, except this is better, it can Multitask. Whats more is that this early beta version runs like it is on a bloody p200, on my 060/50. yes it runs like a bloody dream! Its fast, Its Smooth and its down right impressive. To be honest I didnt think even an 060 was capable of this. But this has re-wrote the book on how good the Amiga is. With my 060 and AGA I can play this game which i thought was impossible. Yes for years Ive thought that games such as gloom are better, and indeed i still think that Gloom is unbeatable, but doom is pushing it very close. Pete, you're a god! ;).. [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -CFP <mailto:duckstrer@hotmail.com> writes hello and thanks for your work on the doom src. as for aga compatibility, it works fine on a4k 040/40 and there are no trouble when exiting the game. default adoom res is dblntsc lowres on my system and gfx speed is very fine. i just copied the wad from the macdoom demo i had on my shapeshifter partition. it complains about wrong version of the builtin demo but otherwise works fine for playing. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "H.R. Laser" <hrlaser@netcom.com> writes: Thanks for doing this port - I'm sure Amigoids all over the world are chanting your name in praise by now. It runs perfectly on my 40mhz 030 A1200. (Haven't tried it on my 060 yet because that machine is only ECS). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mad@mail.cosmos.it (Guido Falsi) writes: Hello, I'm using adoom 0.2 and it's very good(on aga it's not very fast, but I'm sure that in a few days(when I'll have a CV3D ;-) it will go as fast as it goes on PCees ;-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Alexander Niven-Jenkins <anj@cremlinsoftware.org> writes: All I can is excellent, it runs brilliantly on my 060 far better than AmiDoom, [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Niko Tomatsidis <ntomatsi@c2i.net> writes: This game is great, and it's so fast that you would not belive it:))) I got one big problem with this version. You got to use CTRL to fire, and since I got a PC (natural keyboard) the Caps lock is The CTRL key, and therefore it won't work, so I can't fire:(( can you please make ALT or Amiga the fire key. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Ben 'bean' Cass" <bean@ideal.net.au> writes: ADoom is bloody brilliant! It runs quite smooth at almost full screen on my AGA A4000/040 25MHz! I run NewWPA8 which may have something to do with the great speed but doesn't the latest SetPatch do the same thing?? You say there is not much Amiga specific code yet. Does that mean it could get even faster?!? At the moment it is running faster than Gloom! Ah well, it's great to have such a good game finally for free on Amiga! Keep the 040 optimisation BTW. You need it. I need it. It's good enough. ;) THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU!!! At least Adoom works unlike some others. ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Jon Aslund" <jooon@hem1.passagen.se> writes: I just want to send you a I-like-your-port-it's-better-than-the-others-letter. You have made a good job. Firstly, it works. Secondly, it's fast. I read that it had optimized c2p for 040 and I was very happy, because I have 040. I tried it and it was definitely faster than the others that I had tried. It took some time to figure that I had played the game WITHOUT 040 optimized c2p. I had to start without startup-sequence because of little memory and then the FPU wasn't recognized until I started setpatch. THEN it went FAST! :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ aTmosh@amiga.cistron.nl (Thomas Tavoly) writes: v0.2 exits with 8000.0003 here BTW, and the SHIFT key needs to be let go and re-pressed in order to be running again, seems killing monsters switches it off. Otheriwise it works great. Too bad the Heretic sources aren't available yet, it's the best of the 3D crop.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fabian Jimenez <fabian@cais.com> writes: Yeah, I got it and it works great. I will safely say that you have smoked the other version hands down. [...] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Georges Segel <segel@club-internet.fr> writes: Adoom 0.2 work very well on my AMIGA. I see you use SAS/C 6.58 so do-you think to do a version PPC Adoom with the SAS/C PPC update patch ? My config is: A4000/PPC604e/200MHz/060/50MHz with PICASSOII under CyberGraphX. If you want somebody to test a version PPC, I'm ready :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Jason Watson" <ilya@enterprise.net> writes: Just a short mail to say how impressed with v0.2 of ADoom I am. [...] Just for your reference my setup is:- A4000 40Mhz 040 Wb3.1 Ks3.1 2Mb Chip 24Mb Fast. Cybervision 64/3D 4Mb and Scandoubler using r69c CyberGfx3. I usually use a 320x200 8-bit CGfx display on ADoom but it also works very well on every standard screenmode I have tried so far. I have compared ADoom with the other amiga versions currently being distributed and so far yours has impressed ...
