WimpMiester Posted December 2, 2001 Share Posted December 2, 2001 I found this page on the web http://www.multimania.com/pmandin/en/ports.html that contains ports of Doom, Heretic, Hexen and Quake for the Atari ST/Falcon computers. I was wondering if anyone tried them, if so how well do they work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourth Horseman Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 Heh. Wow! I hadn't seen this, but I'll certainly give it a go on my TT030 and see if I can get it to run. I'll report back with my results. - FH - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 That's pretty cool, how well does this stuff work on a lowly, 68000-based ST? Oh, wait, I see that it requires a 68030-based machine or better. Well, I guess that excludes me from trying these out! Anyone have a TT they'd like to sell? ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari-Jess Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 couple notes, dont go turning off clipping or cheating seriously if you do that, you will ruin the level entirely. well as long as you dont turn off clipping your alright, i forget the link ill post it on my website and give the url here soon, note i have a PC MURDERER virus right now and unless you have a recently updated virus checker dont bother downloading it unless you would like a broken PC, mine will attempt to rewrite the BIOS chip, and if you got a newish pc your bios chip will be a flash rom chip and the virus will be able to re write IE DELETE it and will render your PC useless im already starting to lose all my stuff but ive saved the level on my hotmail account virus free, ill see what i can do...

WimpMiester Posted January 10, 2002 Author Share Posted January 10, 2002 I believe only Quake requires a 68030 CPU. Doom, Heretic and Hexen have all been modified to work in 16 colors on 68000 systems. I was wondering if it was worth it to unpack my Atari computers to give them a try?

noclafirata Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Does anyone know if these ports are still available to download anywhere. It would be interesting to try on MSTE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMaddog Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Those ports were meant to run on faster-than-TT '030 computers running the FreeMiNT operating system. Since they were just recompiled from C sources they're not optimized to run on stock Atari computeer without CPU accelerators. There is a Doom engine called Bad Mood which will run on a stock Falcon because it's optimized to run on it, and is still being worked on. Only id game port that'll run on a regular ST is Wolfenstein 3D and it's based off the Apple IIgs version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tillek Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well, I think the point was... the old link is long dead... is there any place we can get them now, in 2017? Especially for those of us with those TT's and Falcons...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noclafirata Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 yes a good link was what I was looking for. I have bm doom working on a stock falcon, but pm hexen and heretic run really slow on it, and the quake port that I know of crashes on my falcon ct2 and is also really slow in stock falcon mode. So just looking for other ports to try. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
