Beeblebrox Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) Hey, anyone have a (stable) Rapidus install? If so - and it runs - I would love to see this latest version of Doom running on it. Edited August 21, 2023 by Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is anyway to get it into this engine then great. Again Globe's 128k raytracing demo shows how good the weapons can look, and these are even animated: Sure, I know different engines, graphics modes, memory contraints, etc might limit what is possible in the engine. Still, would be amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is ADoom known to have been tested using a Rapidus upgraded A8? Just curious. Edited August 21, 2023 by Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peri Noid Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 I did some experiments. ADoom runs very well at the settings from this picture. Actually, it runs a bit too well - it's faster but not smoother. Smoothing in presence of higher computing power requires additional ingerention in frame generation... as I presume. The potential is very high. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 @Peri Noid cool. Would be great to see a video. No worries if you aren't able to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 What a great visual improvement compared to Lost Party version, wow! I'd love to see wider, not that narrow corridors and at least a dot for a crosshair for aiming. As for the name, is it ADoom now? That's the name of well known Amiga port, A8Doom maybe? Thanks for astonishing work! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hold my beer, as they say The first half in without Rapidus, the second is the same machine but with Rapidus enabled with the settings from the picture above. There's a lot of potential for smoother animation. Sorry for the sound not synchronous with the image, it's not my fault - the forum must have broken something. adoom.mp4 Edited August 21, 2023 by Peri Noid 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) @Peri Noid wow, impressive pace/framerate there! It's really going some. Just needs tweaking but very impressive. Thanks for taking time to do the vid. Edit: btw is ADoom's engine PAL only? If it runs on ntsc as well I wonder what stock PAL vs stock ntsc looks like? I'd expect ntsc to be a little faster.

Peri Noid Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 8 minutes ago, solo/ng said: its not really near how it could be on rapidus:) (2-3 faster) It isn't but turning on Rapidus ROM prevents the game from starting. It just hangs after loading. And enabling fast access to RAM #2 causes the screen corruption and game crash (I tested these). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say the non-transparent enemies are totally fine, and maybe even better in the limited resolution and color space, because the tiny black border makes them better visible on the screen. The game runs really fast now but "faster sprite drawing" indicates that you know how to improve it further 🙂 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted August 26, 2023 Share Posted August 26, 2023 (edited) @Saint (Swiety) Wow, just loaded it up on my Incognito'd 800 via Sio2pc (as CF card being used for something else.) I happend to have my 800 out so wanted to see how it ran off SIO2PC. Joystick control nice. Plays very well. Sprite speed great and coloured door jams really stand out. Can wait what you do next - it's coming on very nicely. Still can believe we have a very impressive Doom engine in this graphics 10 version. Nice work.

I may have to crack out my jaguar doom and play both doom jag and doom A8 back to back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
