MacGlide - any hints or tips?

[stormy]

Hey people,

Just wondering if anyone has performance tips for MacGlide. I'm running Unreal / Deus Ex in Tiger via Classic mode & MacGlide. System is a 1.2Ghz G4 with Nvidia 6200 256mb. It works but the FPS is rather low, around 25-40fps in 1024x768. It doesn't make much sense to me, the graphics card is multiple times faster than the original Rave Rage1 128. I've also tried OpenGL mode in Deus Ex and the performance is about the same.

Any thoughts? Cheers

Your performance is actually impressive - considering the overheads of running a GPU intensive Classic game under OS X using a compatibility layer such as MacGlide.  Deus Ex was never a particularly well performing game in open maps (indoors performed much better).  You might find some graphical adjustments in the Advanced settings of the game itself.  Another option is to source an OS 9 compatible GPU and run the game natively.
