Running GPL on a Pentium 60 at 3 fps

J. Todd Wasson reported running GPL on a Pentium 60 without 3D acceleration at about 2 to 3 frames per second and still lapping Monza in the 1:30s. Others were amazed, shared nostalgia about old PCs and urged him to upgrade to a Celeron and Voodoo2. He later improved to a 1:33.6.

486SX25 ? That's a screamer too! I remember when my friend went from his 386/33 to a 486/50. It was the absolute hottest thing we'd ever seen. We were playing racing games at an astonishing 12-15 fps !! We finally had "perfect smoothness!" 8o) Todd Wasson

Will happily accept the award. Thank you, Kurt. :-) I'd say it's a lot like using the force.... Obi-Wan was riding shotgun.... Todd Wasson

GPL... Finally! One problem. I knew it would be a problem, so it's no surprise. Ready to laugh? Pentium 60...... No graphics acceleration.... 2 to 3 frames per second in 320x200 mode! Yahoo!! Managed to get a 1:39 at Monza using the chase cam. Monaco is a real challenge too! Got around 1:45-50 a couple times, mostly 2:00 or so. Think VROC is going to have to wait! Todd Wasson

I believe it is a record! ALL detail is turned off, and I'm running at the lowest resolution. Still, 2.5 fps isn't too bad, is it? :-P The replays run a LITTLE more quickly, and I really enjoyed watching myself spin out all over the place! Todd Wasson

What else are you into besides GPL, sado-***??? =) What you really need to play GPL: CPU in 400-something range (Celerons work quite well), 64MB RAM, and a Voodoo2. That's all you really need (that's all I've got! =) but considering how cheap stuff is now I would get a Celery in the 500-something range, a good mobo, good RAM, and o/c the ***out of it!!

Amazing! Must be a new world records for a person to manage to run GPL on the slowest machine yet! Seriously, I am amazed that you are able to run it that good at all. Did you turn all the graphics options to the minimum already? It shows that the engine scales quite well, even on the slower machines. -Gregor

My pb is 1:38.04 with ~6.5fps, and digital gas+brake. So 'bang'. +Cinquo
Whoops! Never posted a file in a newsgroup before. How do I post it there?

Thanks, Alex. Yes, I get about 2.5-3 fps with ALL the detail and sound turned off/down to the bare minimum. Also run it in 320x200 mode. The sound is pretty outrageous too. When shifting up a gear, I hear some pretty funky techno engine music coming at me. I don't know whether to keep driving or get up and dance! Todd Wasson :-) P.S.. Just dropped the fuel load to about 6 gallons (was full for the 1:39), and ran a 1:33.62 a minute ago. :-) Can't wait to get a fast computer!

Haha!! It's still fun, even at 2.5-3 fps using the chase cam. I've been looking in the paper lately for a faster system. Stuff is cheap nowadays. I may be moving back home to Minnesota soon, so will probably put off buying anything right now. Can't wait though! Todd Wasson :-)
I think my mom paid about $2-3,000 for our...(snicker!) IBM PCjr when I was a kid. It was a HUGE step above my TRS-80. This thing had a 4.88 Mhz processor and I think 128Kb of ram. We bought an accelerator card for about $150-200 that upped it to about 8Mhz. Was incredible how much faster that was! For only $150-200 more, we got a big cartridge that you plugged into the side, to upgrade the ram to 640Kb. Unheard of!! Nobody needed that much memory! I remember laughing at my friend's suggestion that I get something called a "hard disk drive". What for? My games were on only one or two disks! You'd pay another $150-200 just so you don't have to swap disks now and then? lol The TRS-80 was great too. It had just over 1Mhz of processing power and 4 Kb of Ram. The big upgrade was a cassette tape drive. This way, you could save your Basic programs. :-) Fond computer memories, Todd Wasson

Nope. Didn't save it since I didn't think it looked too impressive! Just a few minutes ago, I dropped the fuel load down to 6 gallons and had another go at it. After about 5 bad/crashing/burning laps or so, I clicked off a 1:33.62. The 1:33xx replay is saved. If you'd like to see it (and the constantly locking front right wheel, resulting in about a 320 degree running temp by the end of the lap), I'll send it. Do I email it to you or post it in alt.binaries.simulators.autos? Todd Wasson

Zip the replay file and save it where you can find it. If you're using Netscape, click the "New Message" button while in the alt.binaries.simulators.autos newsgroup.

Then click the "Send" button and wait for it to finish uploading. In Outlook Express, while in the alt.binaries.simulators.autos group, click the "New Post" button.

Ok. I don't have Netscape and can't post to the binaries thing any other way yet. Whoever wanted that 1:33xx Monza replay: Email me. I'll send it directly. Todd Wasson
I'm using AOL here... I can post a new thing, but the only options I see are help (doesn't say anything about uploading) and send! What now?
