Unreal Tournament 99 (BETA) @ P233MMX, 3DFX Voodoo1

UT99 (beta version, just for fun), developed by Epic Megagames, released in November 1999, running on 100% original hardware from 1996/early1997. You might notice some differences in this level compared to the final version of the game.

Short video to test the new videograbber. It's not set up flawless yet, the image is slightly shifted and leaps and boundsthere are some audio problems. The quality is already far better than anything I could record with the camcorder.

When there are no bots around, the performance is surprisingly good. It's not the enemy model that kills the FPS, it's the AI, but running through an empty level would be boring.
The audio skips while the level is loading, even though the game is installed on a seperate HDD.


Detailed System Specs:
intel Pentium P55C 200MMX@233MHz
128MB 60ns 72pin EDO RAM
Asus P55T2P4 Rev 3.10 Mainboard
Miro Highscore 3D with 3DFX Voodoo1 and 6MB RAM
Matrox Mystique with 4MB RAM
Creative SoundBlaster AWE32 with Yamaha DB60XG

The system uses hardware components that were available in late 1996 or early 1997.

I'll probably redo the SystemShock2 video with the new grabber since the audio was really awful with the camcorder.

What video grabber did you use?

[mystftg]

@Oerg866 Noname USB video grabber for 20$ with S-Video input.

Sorry but, what program you use for record videos?

[mystftg]

@davidmurillogomez I convert the signal from the Pentium1 to S-Video and capture it with a USB device on a different system where I simply use virtualdub to record the footage.

I can't use a regular recording program on the system playing the game, since it's not fast enough.

@buddyfrisky I suck at what? Demonstrating how the Unreal engine performs on a Pentium1 system? I don't think so.

If you mean that I suck at playing UT99, after not playing it for ~10 years while not being very good to begin with when it was released and now being somewhat handicapped because the game runs below 20fps then yes...I do suck at this. A lot! :)

@Nicolasroxas No editing, it's the beta of UT99, which had some differences.
