A port of the original id Tech 2 engine (Quake II) to the Nintendo Wii, compiled using devkitPPC / libogc.

  • Release 2



Q2Rev, as a standalone application, has been deprecated. It is now part of Quake Rev PAK.



The engine is (almost) feature-complete, with sound & network play. For technical reasons, the Capture-The-Flag module is not included in this engine; you will need to play Q2CTFRev for that purpose.

The only missing functionality is the ability to play the original CD soundtrack, to be implemented (if everything goes right) on a further release.


New features in this release:

  • Classic Controller can now be used to play; controls are similar to those in use by the Gamecube Controller.
  • Pressing [A] to aim is now optional; a Menu Option was provided for such effect.


The project is being hosted at http://code.google.com/p/qrevpak .

Any comments about the engine are welcome to heribertod@gmail.com.


Installation

In order to play Quake II with this engine, please follow these instructions:


  1. Download the QRevPAK.R*.zip to your computer
  2. Copy the contents of the archive to a folder called /apps/QRevPAK/ in your storage media (SD card or USB stick)
  3. Copy the /baseq2 folder (shareware or full, bought, game), from your computer, also at the /apps/QRevPAK/ folder. (NOTE: Previous versions of Q2Rev required these files at the root of the media card. This is no longer the case.)
  4. Start "Quake Rev PAK" on the Homebrew Channel (or any suitable app launcher).
