Increase the frameskip: ctrl+F8

lol frame skipping only decreases the load on the cpu... it does not dedicate more power to the game tho. (thus no speed gain unless you have the cycles set to an appropriate amount to begin with.)

Either virused, either newer version.

"Either it's virused or there's a newer version"?


Verbs and conjunctions rock.


At any rate, does anyone know how to have it play the music? Quake has music right?

Yea use WinQuake, as Vangar suggested. It works pretty well.
