Quake DS - Prerelease version

Quake on your DS








simonjhall has released a prerelease version of Quake DS. Everybody's favourite game is now available in a DS flavour. The game runs at a fast framerate with sound included which is very impressive. However there are still a lot of graphical issues.

It's taken ages to get this far, and as it's one of those games which will never be finished, I thought I'd better get out a version now just to show how it's going! Oh and it's playable :-D

Quake DS is off to a brilliant start, it supports DLDI, touchscreen mouselook, and either the shareware or full version of Quake. For downloads and installation instructions visit the homepage below. Thanks to hadrian for the news tip!

Wow, it must have taken quite a lot of hacking to get it running... Respect!

 

[yee]

Yes, finally!

EXCELLENT!

Just tried it on my G6, and it looks/runs pretty good (despite all the missing textures). I did notice that strafe left/right was not working at all. Pressing left on the D-pad (strafe left) would "look up" and right on the D-pad had no effect at all. Any else experience the same problems?

Overall, very good and very impressive work!

Did you follow the directions exactly? I notice you have the pak0.pak in "/id" instead of "/id1." See if that fixes the problem.

websiteYou need a config file to tell the game how buttons are set up, etc. I know that my config file works, so download that from the link above and save it into the id1 directory.

here you go, the config file you need to map the buttons on the DS for Quake1, http://quake.drunkencoders.com/downloads/config.cfg

Ah, brilliant!

 

[GameGeezer]

Good job! Works nicely on the R4DS. I'm looking forward to progress on this. Thanks for the release.

They just like inventing a new ways of making things like this frustrating to get to work properly.

Great! Now when does Quake4DS release?

Copying all the files of Quake4 to a flash card requires a flash card of, let's say 4 GB

^I have the same problem with my m3cf. It says couldn't open id1/pak0.pak

Someone have fix for this?

 

[R-Unit 4]

lol...4GB...I gotta by 3 more 1 gb cards!!!

 

[Killermech]

I remember when I was following development for this.. like one year ago something.. all he kept releasing was videos lol. I'll give this a try later today and hopefully he doesn't give up on it (again).

 

[RueGorE]

Very nice. I've been waiting a long time for this. I hope the next version comes soon!

Stay tuned for Quake2DS.

I had the same problem with this and frodo ds on my SCSD (1gb kingston)

got them both working now by patching with the scsd_moon.dldi from

http://www.cryptosystem.org/projects/nds/scsd_moon.dldi

works on SCSD perhaps it will work with others.

It was clearly explained in the directions that this was needed...

"3. Visit Chishm's DLDI page (above) and download the DLDI driver file which corresponds to your NDS booting method."
