I'm trying to get the repository over at icculus switched over to subversion but Ryan over there won't do it without Niels's approval. At any rate I've set one up on my private server and will try to get fixes out sometime soon. |
So, your copy actually COMPILES in gcc 4.2.x? Awesomeness.

We're striving for accuracy before optimization here, please keep that in mind folks.  Also, I'm aware of the speed issues with respect to the Linux port; I'm looking into it but in the meantime you might try running it fullscreen and see if that speeds things up there. |
Hey, don't count me out! I'm planning on seeing if I can acquire a Jaguar... I'd be more than happy to let you peek and poke at it and whatnot when I get it

Hooray broken code!

Please bear with me in the meantime--once I get it all sorted out VJ is going to rock.  |
Super Awesomeness! So this might mean that I can actually get to play Wolfenstein 3D without it being a mess!
