HELLOW!!! I am a hacker form Russia. My name is Nikita. I resolved all errors in pocket quake II and you even can launch it, having 16Mb Ram and 32Mb MultiMedia card. THE RESULT IS 100% WORK!
Ok, now about the main thing, how to launch.
I tested this type of launch on Casio Cassiopeia E-125 and EM-500 with 16Mb Ram and 32MultiMedia Card.
NOW LISTEN:
1) You have to delete everything from your Main Memory, and by the way, it is not true that quake II needs more than 20Mb free memory - IT IS A BULLSHIT!
2) Then your program memory have to be 11.10 Mbytes free NOT LESS!, and if you have EM-500 16Mb Model then storage memory will be 2.50 Mbytes. NOT LESS!!!
3) You need to install Quake II onto Storage Card with NOT LESS THEN 25 Mbytes.
4) Rename the folder "Daniel East's Pocket Quake" to this one "Quake2".
5) THE MAIN THING!!! HOW TO COPY SHAREWARE DATA TO 32 Mbytes CARD!!! LISTEN ATTENTIVLY!!! :
a) You need to download this program - Pak Explorer 1.12 (FOR ADVANCED USERS ONLY!!!) FROM MY WEB SITE: http://www.nikjehummer.narod.ru/quake/pakexp.zip
OPEN SHAREWARE PAK FILE with this program and do next:
DELETE THIS FOLDERS: SOUND, you have to delete all you can, and some of the sounds can write an error. AND THEN DELETE Demos FOLDER with demonstration level in the begining. DON't ASK WHY YOU HAVE TO DELETE SOUNDS, cause they REFILL PROGRAM MEMORY!!!!!!
AND DELETE (if you want 99.9% result working) IN MAP FOLDER: Demo2.bsp and Demo3.bsp.
b) Exit from program and it writes you about using free space, you answer "OK".
c) THE MAIN!!!! YOUR FILE SIZE AFTER ALL ABOVE HAVE TO BE 18.858 Kbytes! (if demo2 and 3 map deleted).
6) EXPORT THIS FILE TO THIS FOLDER: \storage card\Quake2\baseq2\
7) START THE GAME. AND AFTER 2 SECONDS YOU WILL BE DUMPED TO CONSOLE.
Press MENU button and change video mode to this one 240 x 180 and screen size to 40% .
9) Go to OPTIONS and there you have to change this: SOUND QUALITY TO LOW, CD AUDIO DISABLE, SOUND VOLUME = 0, Sound Compat - Max perform.
10) Press the MENU button again to save changes.
11) IF MAKED EVERYTHING AS I TOLD YOU CAN GO TO GAME MENU AND START IN EASY TYPE. AFTER 1 MINUTE YOU WILL BE IN THE 1st LEVEL, YOU WILL HEAR A POP FROM YOUR SPEAKER AND 1.5 Fps speed (slow) but COOL!
11.1) IF IT WRITES VIRTUALALLOC COMMIT FAILD OR Z_WALLOC you can try to download this configuration and after first start of your Quake II on PPC, replace created config in baseq2 folder with mine and start the game, then do as it was written in
,9),10) again, and start the game in easy level. (THIS WAY (11.1) WORKS WITH CASIO CASSIOPEIA EM-500 16Mb RAM - 100%, without errors, so users of such kind of PPCs should make like this in 11.1).
LINK TO CONFIG: http://www.nikjehummer.narod.ru/quake/config.zip
12) THEN (after 11 or 11.1)YOU CAN GO TO MENU AND TURN 240 x 320 Landscape mode and 100 % SCREEN SIZE!!! AND PLAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVE FUN GUYS!!!! But you can have problem with buttons - they are not binded, and I created new configuration file for this quake which binds (CASIO) JOY1 AS FIRE, AUX 2 AS CONSOLE, AUX 3 AS MENU, AUX 4 AS MAKE SCREEN SHOT. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT ALSO FROM MY SITE, LINK HERE: http://www.nikjehummer.narod.ru/quake/q2ppcconf.zip
