I'm amazed and perplexed by the standards from way back then. The core itself is amazing for the little engine that could, the de10 nano. It has great features, compatibility, and performance as long as your expectations are realistic. And that's not a slight to the amazing work on the core.
There are going to be exceptions to every rule, but for the performance level of the ao486 core you will probably be hard pressed to get great performance out of most 3D games made past 1993 or 94. The 3Dfx Voodoo blew peoples minds because it ran Quake at 640x480 at 30 FPS.30. Star Fox on the SNES, which was a highly praised game at the time, rarely tops 15FPS. A 3D game running at 15 FPS was considered playable. I guess things have changed for the better in that regard.īut you also have to put it in to context of what was considered acceptable performance back then. Was it acceptable? Not really, but that's just how it was. Your telling me there were games released back then which ran at like 9 frames per second, so long as they met the minimum system requirement that was acceptable?
