I've implemented this in the bart/consistent-decay branch, if you want to build it and give it a try. The existing keyboard settings exist and will always take precedence if they are specified in the INI file. Otherwise, InputDigitalSensitivity and InputDigitalDecaySpeed can be used and these will a...

You're right, I never realized this. I feel like we should completely rework this decay/attack (sensitivity) system altogether. I'm not sure how real games do it but I assume it's some non-linear function of time. The straightforward solution would be to add InputJoyDecaySpeed and InputJoySensitivit...

Paste the configs here as well as the command you use to start each instance of Supermodel. Also, please paste the Supermodel.log. To make this more readable, there are code tags you can use here to format the text.

According to Wikipedia, Intel purchased all of Real3D's IP and then 3Dfx purchased it from them. Then Nvidia and ATI fought over the corpse. There's nothing classified about Pro-1000 -- it was sold for civilian use cases such as flight simulators and some units were even sold to city planners (Phila...

The Model 3 arcade board stack is similar to the Pro-1000 image generator as far as we can tell. The image generator had a PowerPC CPU as well that ran firmware. It was connected to a Windows NT workstation via a SCSI cable (hence why Step 1.x have a SCSI controller, which is used only for its DMA c...

That's an awesome discovery! I always wondered about that. Really odd that they put the country check in there. IIRC the sound ROMs aren't any more accessible than the PowerPC CROM EPROMs. I wonder why they chose to put the country code there.

This is really hard to say! It wouldn't be that hard to instrument the code to print out the number of polygons processed each frame to at least determine what Model 3 games were throwing around. I don't think there were any substantial modifications to the Pro-1000 ASICs used on Model 3 boards. The...

Nice work! What modeling tool are you using?

This looks like a crash. If you are able to build in debug mode, can you also try running it in gdb? In my case, I have to type "bin64\supermodel roms\scud.zip", and to do the following with gdb: gdb --args bin64\supermodel roms\scud.zip Then type "run". C:\projects\Supermodel>gd...

I don't think the legacy engine changed at all since the earliest 0.3a snapshot so it's possible you were not actually using it? To ensure it was being used, check Supermodel.log afterwards. The entire runtime configuration is dumped there (look for the New3DEngine setting). Over time, I believe Sup...
