Reported Quake DC

Post by **Tyne** » Tue Jan 01, 2002 5:17 am

On the IRC server oz.innergamer.net (Channel #qc), where a person named Ender hangs out can port Quake to Dreamcast again easily. He's compiled a PSX version of Quake 1 (no sound, lack of PSX ram) and he even partially knows the guy who ported Quake 1 to Dreamcast.

If Ender gets a Dreamcast he'll port Quake to Dreamcast!! :D
The problem is that he's fresh out of cash, perhaps we could donate
a Dreamcast to him? I'm sure he'd benefit the community greatly.

Oh and I suck at writing stuff like this. :P

LordHavoc, creator of the DarkPlaces engine, is looking into doing a port, too...but he doesn't have a Dreamcast, either...

Wow... (Akuma from #qc?)

Somewhat great news guys... I'm sure it wouldnt be too hard. A re port would deffenatly be a good thing.

As far as them not having a dreamcast... they've dropped in price. Used ones are extra cheap now too. (I know sometimes money can be so tight even $20 would be too much) They would also need eather a broadband adaptor (~$150 off e-bay) or a coders cable ($25 from lik-sang.com) unless they feel like spending cdrs for each new test compiled. If their adventurous they could actually make their own coders cable for around $10

If someone does want to donate one or both of them a DC that would be cool. I deffentaly cant afford to.

Havent met Ender... Heard good things about him though. Have talked to LordHavoc a bit though... From what I can tell LordHavoc is a good guy who knows it stuff. He's dont some nice work on Darkplaces... thats for sure.

Yeah, LordHavoc is great. Had to figure out DC's texturing format and it seems ready to go with Quake. :)

This is very good news, darkplaces is one of my fave engines.......a new dc engine would solve soooo many problems.

Tyne: no you don't suck at writing stuff like this....
