Mczonk of Team Emergency Exit has released a new beta release of Quake 2 for the PSP.
Heres his newspost:
At the moment I try to optimize the memory usage of Quake 2 PSP. This will allow all sounds in multiplayer and reenable singleplayer mode if enough more can be saved. It was easy to analyse where the memory is used, but the more interessting question is what memory is wasted. I did not want to concede myself but the most memory is wasted in at texture’s memory. Most of the textures are not power of two, but the psp requires that. So I reserve more memory than needed. This wastes around 40% of texture memory. When I would scale down the textures it would result in around 20% less used memory. This will be around 60% less texture memory. As a trade-off the graphics quality will be lowered.
