Quake 2 Wip News

[KingPepper]

My Views are as follows............I am a CollectorHolic,
Back in the Days of the ZX-Spectrum Remember that Machine, Pocket Money prices from £1.99 to £14.99 the games were, that was the best time of all for me, as that machine i could program in Basic as well as Z80 Assembly Language!!!!!, so in the End i had collected (Bought) wait for it........Over 750 titles, now with the aid of a Emulator on PC or PSP now, i can play any one of those titles!!!!!!, Brings back great Memories, i sold most of them to my local Gamestation store, & got 10p - 50p(for the big box Titles) each, i was well Pissed off, thats all they are worth now, & yet they were all Originals, some were very Rare to get hold of!!!!!!
I now wish i never spent all that Money on them!!!!!!!
I learnt my lesson with those games, & will never Buy Huge amounts of games again!!!
So the Logical Thing to do is Download the .ISO's First, if i play them for more than 3 Days then i will Buy it, knowing that i will Enjoy it..........Simple!!!

Example.......I didn't know which Football or Soccer Game to you American's to Buy,
So i downloaded both games FIFA 2006 & Pro Evo 5, Tried them both, Problem is, i liked them both so bought Pro Evo 5, but to my horror doesn't work on FW 1.5, i had to upgrade, within a couple of Days i noticed that Pro Evo 5 had been Hacked on the web so it worked on 1.5, and two weeks later i bought FIFA 2006 as well , with my next Pay packet,
As i find i get bored very quickly with the Games.......i only play each .ISO i have on my Hard-drive say two - three times & move on to the next one.........
Problem is now, the latest games don't run FW1.5 so i can't Demo each game to see if i like them or not enough to go out & Buy it, By the way i bought GTA on PSP because everybody was saying it was Excellent, but it was as boring as the ones on PC & PS2, so wasted my Money there, all £34.99
Hence why i like to try thing's first, But Can't now!!!!!!

So now i just collect all the .ISO's so i can say, i have every game on the system,
Even though i can't play...Oh well, at least i have my Speccy Emulator still

PS..........Yes i know Blockbusters allows you to try PSP Games out first, But for a Price Yet again!!!!!

SONY IF YOU ARE READING THIS..........Let us have our Homebrew.......

STOP THOSE BLOODY FIRMWARE UPDATES

[Sharkey]

has anyone gotten the full version to work?
i copied over the 179mb wad from the disc i bought and replced it with the trial one but no luck.
it freezes loading up the game.

i do realize its a beta so don't flame me.

[Smiths]

Thanks to Sony's stupidity, and idiots like McZonk, current 2.0 firmware games can't be loaded on a Memory Stick.

That has to be my favorite so far in this thread. somehow McZonk is equated to Sony's stupidity... and I don't get it.

That really made me laugh.

"My load times are so long but on my Mem Stick it so short! Because of Sony and Mczonk, games require newer firmwares"

Buh-wha??

[Darkshard]

To be honest, the only ISO I use is my Wipeout Pure ISO, and I DO own the game. But I have good reason, isoloader lets you overclock and Wipeout running at 333 is smooooooooooooooooth as silk.

On that same note however, I don't mind the piracy protection on this quake 2 port. We need ways of convincing the public that stealing is wrong, if punishment doesn't work, why not reward to those who don't steal?

Case in point, if you play all your games legally, then there should be no problems playing Quake 2 on your PSP and you rightfully deserve it. That is... unless the Quake 2 maps were pirated! :O DUN DUN DUN...

I personally think that McZonk is doing something amazing here. GPU graphics is coming on nicely. Oh. McZonk just need some help with the Quake 2. I have the official Q2 cd and I was Wondering if the full pak file runs on Q2 PSP. I hav V1.5 PSP.

[omniosiris]

holy crap, stop bitching guys. I can see why so many people hate the PSP scene, McZonk spent HIS time to port quake II so you can play it.....and he didn't recive a penny from any of you. and now you guys think you have a right to flame the crap outta him because he put iso protection in his program!? First of all its really easy to get past...and second if it bothers you that much then don't play it, its not like he's forcing quake II on your PSP. Sheesh

[Jdemon]

Many thanks to TeamEmergencyExit for this release and hopefully a great future for Quake II PSP ahead of us. I haven't really had time to mess with it too much but I'm excited to see this great work is finally available.

It's unfortunate that you added this "ISO Gamer Protection" but not for what's been said already. Now instead of everyone talking about the great game that you're working so hard on, there are 6 pages of people bickering about ISO usage pros/cons. I just think it's a bit hypocritical if you ask me. It's not up to you to decide what I do or don't do with my PSP. I understand you did it to send a message, but in the process I think you've frustrated alot of people. Here we all are not wanting Sony to control what we do with are PSPs, and you're trying to do the same thing. I just hope you haven't doomed your own project in the process.

[snkrock25]

eh, whatever, i just hope all this discussion gets some guys to not implement code like that again.

that sucks for people who have iso's on their systems that were purely rips of web browsers from games or whatever.

either way this is like borderline sony with the firmware updates, so now we're policing each other?

He did it because he doesn't support isos. If you take the tremendous amount of time and effort Mczonk put into Quake 2, THEN you can decide whether or not to include iso protection.
