QUAKE2DS prerelease 1

[bobtheninjaoffood]

I'm using a SC lite (original not rumble) and I've got commercial PAKS, and I've tried three different DLDI drivers, and I have no controls, no backgrounds, everything is just black except for enemy models, and my main menu is screwy. It's in the upper left hand corner of the screen, so I cant read what I'm hitting. Why is it doing this?

Will quake2ds run smoother and will it have shorter loading times if i degrease the texture quality in the .PAK files or if i make them smaller?

P.S my English is bad

Hi simonjhall, these are awesome, you really have a good work done.
Thank you that you have made it possible Quake 2 on the DS to play.
Do you think it is possible different mods or maps (D-Day, Warsow, CS)
for Quake 2 has been made to play? Or have you already tried.
I have already over 50Wads for DSdoom rebuilt (and published) and find
the Quake 2GFX looks much better. For this reason,
I would be very interested.

Regards

@All Quake2 works perfect on Supercard Lite

I will answer no questions, about the Wads of me for DSdoom,
all Wads of me on 3 sites linked. Search with Google

Hi,

I have a problem running Q2 on my ds Lite... I have a R4 Revolution and The DS Browser exp. pack.

After starting the game i can choose the browser exp. pack.
the game tells me that its not enough memory... ( is there a way to play q2 with this card combination or must i buy me another card?

thx 4 help

The official browser pack is only 8mb. Q2 needs a minimum of 16mb. Best buy an EZ Flash 3-in-1 for $20/£10 from somewhere.

Yo sorry for the delay, y'all - I've been busy at work and with other things, my birthday and looking to move house... Plus I actually hate Quake

anyway,
@moro, no you can't play with the opera ram expansion (hence the message). I'd really like to make the game work with that card but supporting the card is a PITA as I don't own one. Every flash card has its nuances which need to be resolved, so it's not just a case of selecting another card "and only running with 8 MB".

@anónimo, thanks for the comments! Mods and maps will work with the game *as long as* the mod does not require or supply a gamex86.dll file. Although games were cross-platform in Quake1 they are not in Quake2. Sorry!

@masterchief, thanks mate.

@noname1, sorry but you will get no performance increase from decreasing texture sizes. You may get slightly faster load times though. The biggest speedups come from a) buying a ram card that can be overclocked and b) reformatting your flash card with the largest block size you can (normally 64k)

@bobtheninjaoffood, err, sounds odd! First of all, have you downloaded the config.cfg file from my website? For some reason it's not hosted here on this forum...

@neilgalloway/tirges, I'll take a look at this soon. But again I am still super-busy (hence me releasing the game when I did) but I will look at this!

Thanks to everyone for playing btw. Kinda makes writing it worthwhile-ish!

kk. thx for the answer. i´ll buy me a new card, this great piece of homebrew needs to be on my ds!

[noname1]

thanks for the reply i think i'll buy a fast slot 1 card which one do you suggest?
i have a m3 perfect sd with 32mb RAM build in it so that's good enough

[bah]

noname1:

Buy the EZ 3-in-1. It's my card of choice.
I have *no idea* if the M3 real or ewin work (I haven't got the cards and I know nothing about them) so if they do, then that's fab!
Also re: the G6, again I haven't got a G6 myself (nor do any of my friends) so don't know which G6 is supported. All I know is the unlock code for 'the G6' and where its RAM lives in the address space.
