I then tried doo1, but after selecting the scenario and the level it died.
I then got the idea ti active swapt and tried doom1 again.
It's working now. Didn't kill too many monsters yet. Wink

Wow, you've got some of my favorite games on this disk! Downloading now.

Finished the download and booted up on my Thinkpad T40, 1.5ghz (though I was running from battery, so the system underclocked itself to ~600mhz), 512mb RAM, Radeon 7500, 1gb swap.

Doom 1 ran fairly smoothly with 3D. I had never played Doom in real 3D, it was kind of cool. The music sounded a little different than I remember, but I think it's stored as a MIDI, so that is to be expected.

Tux Racer also ran smoothly. I didn't really get to anything else, because I got drawn into Doom and wasted all my free time yesterday.

Great collection!

yeah, it can take some weeks, to finish all the mods Smile

I still could not finish them all myself.
When I made the iso, I played again 1-2 days, but when I created the dotpups, several weeks.
And there is more to come, not all mods I have are included, and neither is quake 1 with really large mods like Nehahra. That has the size of a full Quake game.

I'll make that CD somewhen in the second half of 2008 Smile

Yes, the Doom-music is midy, played with the instrument-banks of timidity.

Glad you like it,
Mark

Hi MU, not bad, just tried this. Probably not my style of games (not into violence), but I like the setup and configuration of this puppy. Issues for me come down to mainly size, and it being really slow on my machine. Am assuming this is a ram issue? My Specs:
ATI Radeon graphics card, 512mb of ram, and 3.0 ghz processor.

Big games (quake, doom, tuxracer, etc) all ran very slowly, though the smaller ones seemed all right. Also, noticed that when I set games to fullscreen mode, when I exited from them, I would be dumped at the command line, having to restart X. Cheers.

dinky,
it should run quite fast on your machine.
I have a pentium 700 with 1 gig Ram, and a Ati Radeon 9250.
On the screenshot you can see by looking at Conky, that it has just low neeed of Ram, so 512 MB should be fine.

You could try this libGL.so:

For your Ati-card, you also might have more success with propriatary Ati-drivers.

For newer Ati-cards:

For older ones (Radeon 7000 to 9250):

Thanks Mark, will try this again soon! Incidentally, have you tried the Mupen64 project? Nintendo 64 emulator, very easy to run. Have been having lots of fun with it of late.

Ok, quick question. Would it be possible to run this straight from the CD and simply save system settings in an sfs file? If so, I know I can blacklist that sfs file so my regular puppy install will work flawlessly. I like the looks of it but I don't really want to install it.
