Quake II for PSP back in action!

sнυи · 07-19-2007, 03:31 AM

McZonk has picked up his Q2 for PSP project up again, and it's great! He has updated it to support online multiplayer, so as soon as this gets a steady fanbase, it'll be sick being able to play whenever online. I hadn't touched my PSP since the patch of the original Q2 build of his, and then I just checked PSP Updates today randomly and wham, build 3 of the multiplayer release! Let's get some BMS-Q2 action going on, guys. :b This game was my first major online multiplayer and is still to this date my favorite game, so I pretty much want to have sex with McZonk.

You can watch the project progress here.

(EDIT) There's a 5+ minute gameplay video on the site to show you how smooth it actually is.

I think I'll actually be down since Quake is my game.
We'll talk later about it.

This is as cool as the time they almost put Quake 1 on the GBA.

Online multiplayer?

Fuck YES.

I'm mean that's cool and all, and pushing technology and what you can do on it is great . . .

but quake ii?

as tempting as it sounds, it requires a custom firmware. i dont think i want to do that to my PSP. i like things running officially good.

LOL, that's 95% of the reason for buying a PSP.

Seriously, if not for custom firmware I would have sold my PSP a loooooooooong time ago.

enlighten me, what are the benefits. seriously, i know nothing of the PSP "homebrew" world.

With custom firmware, you can run unofficial applications like emulators. I have NES, SNES, Lynx, Genesis, GB/GBC, and GBA emulators on my PSP right now, and it's the main thing that I use my PSP for these days.

I still run 1.00 'cause I haven't touched my PSPs since 2.71. 8)

Anyway, yeah, anyone have a dedicated box in like the Texas area? There's currently no 24/7 servers up and it'd be nice for one in the central area. D:

kimcicle what's wrong with Q2? D: It's still my favorite game. :] Plus I don't think Q3's source code has been released yet, so Q2's pretty primo if you ask me.

(EDIT) Oh hey rmz is the GBA emulator full speed now?

The ID Tech 3 (Quake 3) engine has had its source code released since 2005 and I think getting Quake 3 to work would be more interesting than Quake 2.
