You're both starting to sound a little bit like purists there. ZDoom is a source port being developed for modern computers and utilizes advanced features. If those advanced features impact the experience on older hardware, that's too bad; either use a different port or get better hardware. What is the alternative? Forego adding valuable features to cater to a minority? If you want the nice features, you're going to have to accept the higher requirements. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
not entirely true,
while it might have the limits removed, and a couple of additions, it should impact a simple vanilla doom play
if source ports like jdoom and the alike would run slow i would say owkey that's obvious
but again, those so called
advanced features shouldn't used in a vanilla doom wad, unless specified otherwise
after reading this thread it makes me want to punch my dad for dumping my old 486 (Cyrix DX2 40Mhz and a whooping 8MB of RAM! it even had a turbo button
) & AMD K6-II 233Mhz
These machines really gave me the time of my life with other games like raptor, tyrian, omf 2097, ...
ahh the nostalgia
