Hi there,
I was, and still am, a huge Amiga f1gp fan (now running a silky smooth modded version via EUAE on my Mac!), it still plays beautifully and never fails to impress me for a game that's 22 years old!!
However, much as a Mac loyalist I am, I've decided, after seeing the awe inspiring GP4 1991 mod running on your various YouTube clips, I simply have to get involved. Whoever was involved in the creation of this work are geniuses in my eyes! You've really bottled a moment in history!
Basically, I want to build a PC that will give me a really smooth, playable version of the 1991 mod. It's from an F1 era I adore (huge Senna fan!) and I'm so excited.
Q: can you help me decide a good spec PC that will render the 1991 mod well and playable? Memory, CPU, OS, graphics card, sound card, resolution vs fps etc?
I have a co-colleague ready to build it, he clearly knows his stuff, but you guys are the ones who know the game inside out.
My machine will be essentially dedicated to GP4 and that is the only programme, apart from the modding apps, I will be using it for. I use my Macs for work and so don't wish to go down the Bootcamp route unless you feel it's worth getting one of the latest iMacs for (as I will be upgrading a mac at some point in the future)
Any assistance would be massively appreciated. Can't say money is no object, but would rather spend the right amount to give me a great playable experience on the 1991 mod (having said that, does a full GP4 1993 mod exist? my favourite season ever!)
I've searched the forum a little before posting this, but many spec-related posts i saw were either a few years old or were not advising on a spec suitable for the hi-res nature of the 1991 mod itself.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Here are 3 YouTube links to show you how I'd love to be running it:
