Raven. A homemade Atari-like computer

Great, thank you !

Can we Quake?

A for effort little computer, but you're not quite strong enough yet.



Will be interesting to compare again whenever I get around to working on memory access again
The machine is not yet doing any kind of burst so cache misses are hurting a lot more than they should.

That ISA card is not doing us any favours either of course

Saw the github. Need to check it out in more detail.
Do you have a full 060 now as Quake is running?

Yeah, it was lent to me for testing so I tested with Quake.

Seems to run as fast as on the PC I had when Quake first came out!

Which quake did you try? This one: https://pmandin.atari.org/en/index.php? ... game-quake ? (assuming you're still in the SDL waters...)

That Quake looked OK to me. I guess always room for improvement.

Hehe same here. I think we tolerated a lot worse framerates back then

That's exactly where I headed first
Though I couldn't find any sourcecode and following the links lead me to adding Nova to the version you shared here: https://github.com/mikrosk/quake

Oh nice. If you built it with the asm optimisations then yes, this is as fast as it gets (Patrice's versions are pure C code, very slow).
