Gaming on my Powermac G5
My Powermac was a Powerbeast back in the days, but for gaming, Macs are always and forever the wrong choice, til today. But with the stock NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE I am able to play Doom 3 (one of my favourite Ego-Shooters of all time) on low settings or Quake III Arena pretty good and pretty fast.
And I was curious if I can install dhewm3 on PowerPC Linux to play Doom 3 with
this modern implementation for the old game. But with the one from the package manager, there
were no luck. It had a problem with the menue, I think with the Fond and this is a known problem
with other than x86 builds. It soon after start crashed. So I deviced to built in from scratch
and that worked. After some tweaks I am able to start Doom3, but it doesn't work as expected.
The graphic is completely broken and I think it has something to do with Mesa and 3D and Drivers
and so on.
That Startsequence, the Intro of Doom3 and the Logo are pretty much okay, but when it come to the menue were the planet (moon) spins, there are no textures.
Does anybody has luck with playing games or with 3D-Accel on PPC64 Linux?
