How is it for you?

You're on X, right? How's it run?
I've only used it on a Rev A iMac 233 running OS 9 and it's not quite right ( not to mention slow ).

I emailed Gerrit about it and he told me that my iMac doesn't have a lot of the opengl goodies the SF needs.

What FPS are you getting on Mario64 ( assuming you have it )?

Oh man! I was playing last night with my friends and they were amazed. That was on beta 4. Mario looks practically perfect, runs too fast (so you have to limit it to 30fps), and sounds fantastic!

I have a 12 inch PB with 867 mhz G4. Not the best, but still really fast.

Also, Mario Kart looks amazing! And supposedly on the final version (I can't try it here at work!) sounds great too.

Those are the only 2 games I've tried on it. I'm impressed!!!

Awesome, I can't wait to get my new puter... Going from a 233 G3 to 1+ Ghz G4 (crosses fingers for a 2 Ghz G5) is going to knock me out of my chair!

Thanks and enjoy!

Whew. That sounds good! I went from a PB G3 233 to this PB G4, and man, is it a difference. You'll like your new machine. When are you getting it? You will definitely want to invest in an adaptoid http://www.adaptoid.com when you do!

I'd love to try this out, but I can't seem to find a working rom link anywhere. I can tell you what it is like on my dual 1 ghz QS if you PM me a link.

one word: Poisoned ;)

seriously hunting for websites with roms is a fruitless task. youll find tons of roms on p2p networks and .torrent systems.

by the way, does anyone know a good game controller app that has good analogue stick support? i have a Logitech Wingman rumblepad, and have been using GamePad Companion. its pretty good but it doesnt seem to support analogue sticks very well.

Ech, really the person making mutinet is now a Poisoned Developer.

One person comes along makes a hack for a program you like and now it sucks ass.

:rolleyes:

Poisoned will be updated when one of the developers gets back from vacation.

i sent a pm to a couple of you. let me know if it works. You might need a special program to unzip those.

I'm going to try and wait until next summer's announcements. I'll be able to afford one in a few months but I want to get a "yesterday's" revision to save some money and get a close to the top PM.

and yeah, I'll be gettin one of those adaptoids! ( thanks for the info! )
