Quake 0.02

[woogal]

0.02 is available at http://gp2x.sector808.org/quake.php

Recompiled with paeryn's SDL which gives a little speed increase (12.2 fps average instead of 11.2), the bug which caused the crash when only using pak0.pak or entering water seems to have gone, and it's now possible to run at different screen resolutions (hardware scaled to fill the screen). Clocking to 250mhz and running at 240x180 should benchmark at around 20 fps.

If you're upgrading don't use the old qlaunch.gpe anymore. It shouldn't be needed, and may even cause problems.

hehe i just come from playing it about an hour and now a new version's out, hell yeah

Nice job

You know this is a tad bit off subject but I find that if you overclock the gp2x to ~266mhz and disable the particle system in quake 2 you get about ~12fps which is actually not too bad. Granted the game runs sexy at 280mhz but my unit isn't stable enough at that speed to stay there for long. :{

Thought you'd like to know.

Quake I is perfectly playable at lower framerates, unlike some emulators. You notice the frameskip less for some reason. It'll just be even smoother now

 

[rokdcasbah]

i think it's because first person shooters are designed to run at different framerates and look ok, whereas 2d console games are made with the assumption that you will be getting a solid 60 fps all the time (even if the console can't catch up, i think they usually just draw the same frame until the new one is ready)

Sorry Didn't mean to confuse. This IS about the update to Q1 not Q2 but I thought since the only post on the forums about Quake 2 is that its unplayable (and in some respects it still is) Just thought it was relavent to the conversation sorry.

cool i shall have a look at this

Just copied this + paks on SD and it works flawlessly with no problems. I was even little surprised how nice it plays even on standard cpu frec.
On the other hand I couldn't manage Duke3d to work. :/

You're probably not using files from a supported version of Duke3D. I had that problem for the longest time, it was only last week that I got my hands on a supported version.

Great release!!

I'm using the default resolution and it's smooooth!

But i'm still usin Gplaunch, as i'm under 1.4.0 i can overclock only through this way.

Really thanks

Bye

​

There's only one unsupported Duke3D Version left ... that's the unofficial 1.7d

...which is probably what he's using.

To god_at_hell and Ravnos:
I dont know where to find the version number (it wasn't in cfg or ingame). I only know, that it was Atomic Edition. Will try to find another one...

 

[Mr. Pointless]

No offence, but I was getting worried... thanks for the update! ^_^

 

[Purist]

about duke3d, you need the real version. I got mine as an iso. hint: look for a website that hunts for isos.

 

[Octavious]

ANYWAYS...
this runs 12fps at what, 320x240?

and about the guy that said Quake 2 runs at 12fps with no particle, at a normalish OC, and to Woogal, what speed could we expect from Quake 2 on the GP2X? Is that going to be your next task? I am holding off on getting another new PSP until they come with 1Gig NAND, and Ill be using my GP2X for homebrew, and I would love for Quake2 to run great, or good enough really lol
