System requirements? (trying to emulate Wolf3d)
Hey,
I was wondering if FreeDO has any minimum requirements to play games properly. I've tried to emulate Wolfenstein 3d (great port) and it was almost unplayable. The FPS are around 20 and the music is very choppy. You'd think that the emulation runs smoothly considering that the game's requirements are a 286 computer.
My system (I know it sucks )
AMD sempron (1500 Mhz)
768 MB RAM
ATI Raedon 9250 (128 Mb)
If you have any tips, go ahead. Thx & regards from Germany

Emulation isn't efficient and a general rule of thumb is your going to need ~10x more power if the hardware isn't similar. Seeing the 3DO is a RISC processor and the PC is an X86 the emulator has a TON of overhead. But I do remember playing Wolf3D on my 286
I've just downloaded FreeDO and I have played a few games on it so far. Need for Speed and Killing Time run absolutely perfect but Wolf3D is invisible until you get right up to walls and objects. Does anyone know whats up with that??
CPU = AMD 64x2 4800
GPU = Nvidia 8600GTS
Sound = Creative Labs X-Fi Xtreme Gamer
Thanks

-update- Hey, found a copy by doing a search for the exact filename.

Hi, I just started experimenting with 3DO emulators, and the freedo page only has v1.9 and v1.8 available for download. Does anyone have a copy of the v1.7 they can rapidshare?
Thanks a bunch.
