Playing DOOM on an SE/30

[tt]

I tried it the other night... it worked. Specs are '030 @ 50MHz and Micron Xceed internal gray-scale. There are two video modes, large and small. In small mode, the refresh rate was fine and usable, but in large mode, the frame rate dropped significantly. The graphics aren't really optimized for grayscale mode though. Sound played fine.

i wonder how it would run with a Mac IIsi, onboard video,

i'd also like to try it with my q605,

It's playable, but only barely so, on my IIci with 50MHz Daystar and the screen size cranked way down. I think your IIsi would be just a slide slow.

I hear it is rather better on an '040, but the Q605 has an LC040, so I don't know about that. Most of its math is primarily integer, though, so it might be okay.
