@kevin, you read the instructions, right? I even have a youtube video on the page showing you how to do it.

@sigma, LOL: I'm glad people are playing it! That's awesome.

Simon, with the dldi file of m3 cf I have had problems (eg. lameboy doesn't work), but that's cause it's known to have problems (which you might already know) but the prerelease 2 worked on my card even though the file was patched to GBAMP.
I remember someone on this same forum, with the same card, M3 CF, had "freeing precaches" error but someone (might have been you) sent a fixed QuakeDS file on the thread, which was the file I used, the GBAMP-patched one.

It worked/works as good as it's supposed to, so I wonder if I can just patch it to GBAMP again to make it work.


I hope you won't misunderstand this question as it's not very clear.



After all, maybe I should just give it a try before coming here to ask this kind of things, but I'm pretty careful with my M3 after I broke my GBAMP caused by my own stupidity.

Oops, sorry - I completely forgot to reply to you!
Yes I'd imagine that if the game played before with the gbamp one then I'm 95% sure that it'll work again with whatever you did. There's nothing that's changed with respect to how files are done. Although saving and loading are now more compatible (so even if you do have a dldi driver that doesn't do unaligned data it should still be kewl).

Let me know how you get on!

EDIT: freeing precache problems should have gone now. That was a pretty weird bug which struck only a handful of DS', for no good reason. Although there does seem to be a problem with file access on a few people's kits which is causing some kind of out-of-RAM problem. I'll be looking at that hopefully this weekend.

I'm about to give it a shot, but I would like to know if my old save & config file work with this new build?

My pre2 save works like a charm with pre3.
SCCF here.

Yep. If you've not used the pre2a wifi build before then you won't have the osk set up.
To set this up (so you can enter text in the console and use the touch buttons), either add a line binding it in the config file (the command is listed on the web page) or just go to the control customisation section of the game menu and bind the button.

Just thought I'd make a quick comment about the gameplay in world 2 of quake 1. There's a couple points in the game which chug at a rate of roughly 1 frame every 3-4 seconds. Not sure if it can be avoided but just thought I'd mention it. This is using the slot1 build which doesn't use the extra ram pack.

Most of the time you can wait it out by just holding run and waiting to get past the bad spot on the map. Takes a while though.

Cheers!
