The Very First QUAKE II Port for S60 3rd Edition Phones



Another hot news comes up at our forum, Mr. Ohinkka, developer of the famous and the best Quake port for Symbian phones, has just released the very first Quake II port for the Symbian OS over at our forum section.

This time only for phones with FPU and he will consider doing one for phones without FPU in the future.

Also N95-1 users can only use the software renderer as the OpenGL renderer will need more memory than it has. Needles to say, that you still need to update to firmware 2.x.x.x in order to pla... ..

Quake II ?! That's freaking damn hot news to me But it says ~30 mb free Ram, that's a little too high for the N95-1

Sigh. What a bummer, so I guess it'll only work on the devices with 128mb RAM like N82, N95-2. BTW Ohinkka, are you planning to port Quake III arena to S60 as your next project?

It works fine on n95-1, but you can only use the software renderer though. The 30mb is a little bit on the high side, realistic value is something like 26. Mission packs will require more though, but I have still managed to get them running even on the 95-1

Anyway, more memory the better...

I just wanted to thank you for all the effort!

Can you upload a video of it running in hardware mode? Is there a big difference in performance and quality compared to software mode?

Sorry, no video . Performance is somewhat better(~20fps vs. ~25fps), and the visual quality is MUCH better with OpenGL.

See the screenshot on my page, it has the same view rendered with software and opengl renderer.
