What are you using for your memory settings? Sorry for the late reply; I just had time recently to do some WC stuff. It's funny how you can never get sick of WC, or even more for me, SWC...

Thanks for posting these! Quick Question, has anyone done a Super Wing Commander mission tree? Has anyone ever written a guide? I never saw either one, and SWC has always been a favorite of mine. Thanks, mk

UPDATE: After some more experimenting, on the IMac G3 333, I'm now running G3 Throttle at a wait state of 6, and I have PowerLogix Cache Control set to 111 mhz. This has improved the overall gameplay smoothness and stability a bunch. Even in melees with lots of ships, (including cap ships) this...

Ok, it's been a while since I had a chance to post. Here are some specs on what I've been running SWC on, I'm doing the IMac first: IMac G3 333 MHz, 128 gb ram, 1999 APPLE Blueberry 15" G3 iMac M4984 M7440L 333MHz 20GB HD, OS 9.1 I am running G3 Throttle set to a wait state of 7 for SWC on...

I am running G3 Throttle and Cache Control on OS 9.1. I don't think G3Throttle works in OSX or above...

More on Mac SWC - For those of you who have a G3 or G4; I have run across a really killer utility called PowerLogix cache control. http://www.macobserver.com/news/99/may/990525/g3cacheprofiler.html This, combined with G3 throttle, can get your SWC speed about perfect on a G3. I'm still...

Ok, so back on track. I have discovered that in my opinion the ideal Mac system for SWC (in reference to speed) is a Power Mac with a 604 running at about 120 or 132 MHZ. I'd suggest 64 mb of ram or more, (it's cheap enough) and 4mb of Vram or more. I would suggest OS9.1, as this has pretty...

I totally agree with your "Wings of St. Nazaire" reference. This would be something to see, a SWC in the St. Nazaire engine...If you like, e-mail me (remove the number 1's) and I can try to help with SWC on your iMac G4: 1mkdud1@aol.com .

Tell us about your iMac. Is it a G3? What processor? How much ram? Are you aware of an awesome app called G3Throttle? Do you have a Griffin iMate, or similar ADB to USB adapter? You may not have to go nuts trying to build a Power Mac, provided you have a proper iMac. ALSO, do NOT get rid of...

I guess a comment on SWC for the 3DO is warranted here. I did buy a 3D0 FZ-10 in December of 2015 primarily for SWC. I also managed to get a brand new CH Flightstick Pro for 3D0. I enjoy SWC on the 3DO, and also feel that WC3 is done pretty well on 3DO. I would say that it is fairly worth it to...

Over the past couple months, I have been working on restoring an older Power Mac (7300/200) as well as a original Blue Bondi Imac (G3 233) mainly for playing Super Wing Commander. Thanks to the advice from "Bandit LOAF" and others, I have finally assembled a machine that is playing Super Wing...

Confessions of a WC Fanatic: My WC story begins around July of 1990 when I was the assistant manager of a Babbage’s (long before the chain became GameStop) and we received a demo from Origin on 5.25” disks labeled “Squadron” which was done on a dot matrix printer. The “Squadron” title had...

Hello, I recently got a used imac G3. This has a 333 MHz power pc processor installed, 32mb ram, and has original OS 8.1 installed. I have a thrustmaster top gun usb fox 2 pro usb stick. Can anybody please help me in getting Super Wing commander to recognize the TM top gun...

Well, ( mainly because I got it for repairing a friends Asteroids Deluxe board, and I was saving it from the junk pile) I now have a Blueberry G3 imac 333, with 32mb ram, and the original install of imac os 8.1 . I realize that this is not the "ideal" system for SWC as was so kindly suggested...

Many Thanks for all your great info! I am planning on going the desktop route. http://stn2.headgap.com/resale/FMPro?-token=13973514&-db=ProductsC.fp3&-lay=WEB&-format=items.htm&-sortfield=SortID&-Max=40&category=CPU&-find Can you please give me an opinion as to which of these might be better...
