So forever ago I had done a super bare port of Quake to NeXTSTEP. Â It was based on a copy of UAE 0.6.0 source code that included hooks for NeXTSTEP. Â So seizing on this I built a shaky framework and amazingly got it to work. Â Well work enough I had trouble with the mouse part, and never did get around to fixing it, but I kicked it out into the world. Â And amazingly the HPPA cross compiled version that I compiled but never tested runs!
My whole misadventure is on nextcomputers.org, and blakespot has a blog about finding the gecko and it’s 32bit video modes here.
This is awesome. I have 3 HP 712 at home. Will definitely try it!
maybe I should try to fix it, or at least do quakeworld…. maybe quake2 as well but I think it’d run 1/2 to 1/3rd the speed of quake1
fscking cool, especially the youtube videos on the links!
This is a great one, indeed.
As you did this forever ago, I guess there’s no chance of getting back in and getting the colortable working with modes other than 256-colors? 🙂 I had to ask / beg.
Lovely effort!
I’m trying to remember what I did to get it to work… I guess the other thing to test is UAE for NeXT, and see if it renders it’s colours correctly…
