@nooblet911 Maybe if you toned down the resolution and detail far enough - they had to make some sacrifices just to get Quake2 to run acceptably. Even if you play with the memory expansion pak installed the game doesn't run at a higher resolution, just a higher color depth. The N64's quirky graphics architecture would result in a serious amount of detail loss, which may not be acceptable for a game like this
quake 2 wasn't exactly a terribly good port if you know what I mean. the n64 was hard to program for but that was mostly because of lack of space on the cartridges and limited programing tools. just by disabling z-buffering the console got a big performance boost. and there was a so-called turbo 3d mode which could supposedly allow up to 500k polygons in ps1 quality (no z-buffering, linear filtering, anti-aliasing, ect.).
@movlw1 As first the R10K runs circles around your nub mmx, the second, the Voodo2 is an late 98' design which is nearly 3 years ahead and still the raw OpenGL performance is on SGI side.
Given its age.. this is incredible performance on a 195mhz R10k max impact.. The 195 R10K was the last upgrade for the indigo2 series machines.. however upgrading a R4K machine requires you to completely replace the motherboard and PSU
Hi, I installed Quake on sgi fuel, but I have a problem with displaying the correct game. The screen is black but can hear sound. Did anyone install this game on graphics sgi fuel V10Pro Odyssey?
What CPU do you have inside your Indigo2? Great video, I would love to run Quake on one of my SGIs, but none of them have hardware accelerated texturing :(.
Hi :) its an 195 Mhz R10000 and is working flawlessly. I think an O2 would be more suitable 4 playing quake because of "floating" texture ram ... but i always prefer I2 over O2 either ... unless you want to go with an octane or higher ... what system do you have ? cheers
@cybercow222 Well the High/Max. Impact graphics has the added benefit of doing all geometry/lighting operations in hardware.. although I'm not sure how much that matters for this game (it certainly doesn't matter if you have a fast CPU though) how much texture RAM do you have in your system btw? The game is unfortunately pretty dog-slow even at 640x480 on my 195 MHz R10000 O2 with 128 MB RAM
i downloaded neko_quake3 and when installed, you will need to copy the base files from retail windows version in the install dir on your sgi machine ...
Hard to believe how far tech has come, my HP Pavilion sitting on my desk, is probably more powerful than that SGI, and can load Q3A in a matter of seconds with a beautiful smooth framerate, still, i love these old systems, awesome retro feel about them :)
lol, that would be nice, but ... i will think twice even, if we had it back then ... well the job done with and the job value would be much more than one car :)
do you think quake 3 could run on n64?

Oh! my old pentium 166mmx, with Voodo2 ran Q3 faster then this expencive peace of metal.

I'd prefer to go back with the Indigo2, sell it, come back and buy a nice new car.

So , my old k6-2 400 and my stealth III 64mb was better than a SGI :D at least on this game lol.
