hi i bought quake 2 off ebay for 99p with postage now ive put the pak files in the base folder and when i try to run it it just goes into a blank screen please help i wish i knew as much as u guys do
1. Be sure you have the lastest version of ioquake2 for the wiz from the archives (
http://dl.openhandhe...i?0,0,0,0,30,11 )
2. Install Quake II on your PC (or in a PC virtual machine if you are on a Mac)
3. Get the latest Quake II point release (still on your PC or vm) and install it (
http://www.fileplane...-2-Patch-v3.20- )
4. Now you're ready to put the files on your Wiz:
..a: on your Wiz SD card, create a folder in "game" called "quake2"
..b: expand the ioquake2.zip file you downloaded from openhandhelds and put the contents into the new Quake2 folder on the Wiz SD card
..c: copy the following items from your PC installation of Quake2 to the /game/quake2/baseq2 folder on your Wiz SD card:
......pak0.pak, pak1.pak, pak2.pak, and (optionally) all of the .cin files in the /video folder.
When you are done, your directory structure should look like this:
/game/quake2/
--autoexec.cfg
--cpufreq
--mmuhack.ko
--q2.gpe
--readme.txt
--ref_softsdl.so
--sdlquake2
--baseq2/
----gamearm.so
----pak0.pak
----pak1.pak
----pak2.pak
----video/
------end.cin
------ntro.cin
------eou1_.cin
------eou2_.cin
------eou3_.cin
------eou4_.cin
------eou5_.cin
------eou6_.cin
------eou7_.cin
------eou8_.cin
------idlog.cin
--xatrix/
----gamearm.so
--rogue/
----gamearm.so
To launch the game on the Wiz use the launcher to start the file q2.gpe
That's it. If you follow these directions, the game SHOULD show you the id logo on startup, and begin playing the game demos.
