Well, how about a little more info please????? What firmware does it run on??? If you throw up a post at least collaborate a little!!!

Awesome dude its amazing HO!

delete all iso’s?? that dumb if its just to stop pircy of games and #1 its most likely for v 1.5 because its the only one u can acces kernel

hope it works on 2.60

Mike, you must be dumb.

You dumb fu(k of course it doesnt work on 2.6. THis game isnt all that good and it always crashes for me when trying to join online server any help.

my crashes at the load screen cant even try

#6 you are dumb too, it does not have online support yet, do some research before you post. and about the crashes, this is still just a beta, what else can you expect???

FOR ALL WHO ARE READING THIS.

1: IT DOES NOT WORK ON 2.60
2: ONLINE ISN’T SUPPORTED
3: IT’S BETA, IT -WILL- CRASH

it works wit 1.0 n 1.5

The Control Diagrams say something about being able to change songs. Does that mean that you can custom soundtracks or what? And if so is there any special way to do it?

#4 are u stupid… i had to sellm y psp andi knowmore about t then u do.. ur the dumbass that upgraded to 2.6.. geeze ur just some noob that doesnt know what hes doing i hope u brick ur psp u dumb fuck!! anywaise probly for 1.5 because 1.5 is the most common hacked firmware out right now

#11 – not yet

DO NOT START FLAMING! I will start banning.

I was wondering if this works with Fanjita’s eboot loader…

well i do know what u guys did but mine wont even run it just has a black screen , and ive hacked before so its not like i did anything wrong if there are any special instruction please tell me i want to play this pretty badly.(yes this is 1 big run on sentance)

HO-LY-CRAPPPP! You can actually look up and down on this game…lol. Best dayum port I’ve played so far. The speed is awesome :D Would love to have sound on it , but afterall, it’s only a beta ;) But anyway, awesome port and HUGE props to the people involved in making it possible :D !!

Quake 2 is looking great at this stage and the controls fell wonderfull. However i do have a big problem with this “ISO folder issue”. for a homebrew developer to say to this community what it can and cant do is just rediculous, i understand that he has good intentions, but i am one of the few people who actually spend the time to convert my games into isos becuase i feel that the battery life is longer and when sitting at my job i can get longer gameplay, so anyways telling me i have to get rid of that to play quake 2 is unfair and wrong. The hassle of renaming the folder every time i want to play is too out of the way i will wait for him to smarten up before continuing to play quake 2.

HELLLLLLLPPP i dont know what to do with the damn baseq2 folder please tell me step by step what to do.(i know im stupid)

Ppl understand McZonk is a great psp coder and he comes out with a (BETA) version of a well known game Quake 2, BY THE WAY it is LEGAL UNLIKE THE ISOS so Mczonk and the whole crew awesome game and i luv it im playin it on the psp now. IT WORKS ON ONLY 1.0 and 1.50 thank u

Damn cant people be positive? and who the hell makes legal copys of there games and doesnt DL ISOs? but the port looks awsome, too bad iv got firmware 2.6 and cant play it :(

wow! It looks awsome, maby even the best looking psp game yet.

Excellent work McZonk!

Lol, this is great piracy fighting… not! All you have to do is change the ISO folder name and it’s fine.

For a beta it is impressive, had no issues loading. Just wish there could of been some sound fx’s. As far as the iso folder, tkaes less then 30 seconds to change it with FA and get back to quake, i dont see why people are complaing “OMG i have to move fingures cant hit the button,such a work out.”

I havent had any crashes yet. Cant wait for an update. Be pretty kick ass if wifi multiplayer would come out for it. Be like the good old days of Q2.

ok iv goten Q2 to run on firmware 2.0 with fanjitas loader 0.9 but wen i start game it just hangs there it might be that the game creates a file during loading or something i have like 100kb free memory on my memory stick or it dosent work on fanjitas loader hope its not that would suck if we 2..0 users couldent play eny ways grats fro this amazing port

im re posting game still not loading do i get to the menu wen the game starts wen the ID logo apears sometimes you press start and the gams takes it like you hit start 2 times so you accidently start game to solve that just pres select and i will bring the console menu and then bring you to the menu thas all cya

My god McZonk is AGIANST piracy? FUCK HIM THEN!

great dude, ive been looking forward to this day

Quake 2 doesn’t work on 2.0!!! MCZonk mentioned that in an Interview a few days ago. It’s because of something that has to do with the Kernel!!

#26

IT IS BECAUSE PPL LIKE YOU CODERS LEAVE THE SCENE

Will it work on FW 9.8 ?

Love

Kenny

Seriously…good work from the guys who made this, come on, be positive. I wish the PSP could be truly opn source, then loads more good stuff like this would be made.

1. FUCKING GAME, ONLY FOR SUCKERS
2. FUCK ID
3. FUCK, WHY HAVe I TO DELETE MY ISO FOLDER.
4. FUCK THIS SHIT

Awesome, shows very good potential. GW

FINALLY, DAMNIT!!! :D

just finishing gta, and then backtothefuture, back to 1.5, quake2 im coming

if he didn’t even think that people would just rename the iso folder or that iso loaders would just allow a different folder name to be browsed then i don’t want him as the pin-up for recent psp development. f that. If he can’t appreciate other peoples work, why should they appreciate his. I say all the iso loaders should scan for his bullshit port and not work if it is present. how would he like that. i guarantee everyone would use the iso loaders. what does that say about his pos port. it sucks and will never be as cool as his “legal” port. if i wanted to play quake i would have bought a shitty computer for christmas not a psp!

Come on people!

Do we realy know if this ISO folder thing isn’t just an unexpected beta error?

And for the people that complains about how much making a Quake2 port to PSP sucks, why don’t you just ignor this and get on with your life. It realy doesn’t make any diffrent if it gets made or not to you any way.

This guy is a fucker… Won’t download his shit.

This shit over my precious ISOs??? FUCK OFF…

Homebrewers trying to create new restrictions on what code should and shouldn’t be run on the PSP is really sad, I think.

Programmers: Be against the usage of ISO files all you like. Write it all over your homepage and in the readme files of everything you release to the public, if that makes you happy. That’s your decision. I can read the info if I want to, and if you have anything good to say, I might be swayed to change my mind about the whole thing. But try to bully me into changing my oppinion like this, and the only thing you’ll accomplish is a lot of bad will and thoughts like “Who does he think he is? Does he think he is somehow better than me, the little shit?”.

A really bad move, as far as I’m concerned. And I am sure lots of other people agree with me. And most of the ones that don’t is probably people who are too used to this kind of abuse that they take it without comment… “Changing the name of the ISO folder? Sure, I can do that…”

McZonk: I really like your Quake port and all the effort you put into it… but please, PLEASE don’t shove your morals down my throat when I’m trying to enjoy your creation. :/

#36: I guess you could be right, and this somehow is an unintentional bug in the software… I highly doubt it, it’s a bit too specific to be a random fluke… and if it’s gone in the next release, with an explanation to that affect, I will sincerly apologize to McZonk. But until then, I remain sceptically hostile. :P

He’s just another homebrew dumbfuck…

He is usen shit that is copywrited…

I’m postitive Quake 2 is copywrited.

Even if ID doesn’t care for him usen thier shit then still if he’s got such good morals he should offer to purchase the rights off of them before he made this.

I know I am not getting it ever just because this guy is one of them homo’s who cant stand ppl who download ISO’s for some fagget reason.

He can kiss my ass!

also den baseq2 folder get in den quake2 folder! So sollte alles zusammen aussehen:

/PSP/GAME/quake2/EBOOT.PBP
/PSP/GAME/quake2%/EBOOT.PBP
/PSP/GAME/quake2/baseq2/

Sorry forgot its english here ^^

the baseq2 folder goes in the quake2 folder and together it should look like this:

/PSP/GAME/quake2/EBOOT.PBP
/PSP/GAME/quake2%/EBOOT.PBP
/PSP/GAME/quake2/baseq2/

41: He has built the quake engine for the PSP (which many other games use, for example Half Life). This to my current knowledge is not copywritten.

The .pak file is the copywritten data, and in this it includes the DEMO files (I think, I havn’t downloaded it). Anyone can get these. He clearly states that if you own Quake 2, you can copy their PAK files.

Lots of effort has been put into making this, to the pleasure of many homebrewers. If you don’t have anything nice to say, then keep your mouth shut tbh. It’s people like you who want to make many developes stop

hye gyus i watn to pay tis gamea btu i want isoas tihs sucks.

#45 SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!!!!!

All you guys complaining about not being allowed to play your isos are idiots. Your the reason Sony has to release new security updates in the first place. So you should all shut the fuck up. McZonk worked hard to code this even if the beta has bugs it will eventually become an excellent piece of PSP homebrew. I have a good idea for all you guys fucking complaining. GO PORT YOUR OWN FUCKING GAMES YOU STUPID FUCKS!

I hope you get caught for pirating and have your mothers take it in the ass from Sony lawyers.

this is an awesome beta… anyone got sound working?

Yeah. All you iso people suck dick. Quit hatin on the actual coders and giving them pressure. You dont even know what its like to be a coder, so stfu.

HAs anyone gotten this to work on 2.1 using the hillary duff hack?

That would be pretty cool!

Thank you Yoda #43 its working now :D

BTW, I just solved the ISO folder problem with both Fastloader and UMD emulator.

Diskedit the eboot.pbp file and find the string fatms:/ISO and change it to read fatms:/USO
Then rename the ISO folder to USO
Works Perfectly.

BTW, McZonk, not to undermine your intent, but this is really just pulling a SONY on us all doing this. I for one use backups to speed up gameplay (Untold legends anyone?). Pulling this kind of stunt just fragments the already shattering community of PSP homebrew.
Kudos on the programming, but don’t impress your moral values on the world.

Oh ya BTW, the edit is on fastloader and UMD emulator, not Quake2.

This game sucks on the pc and the psp, all I have to say is that he was just porting the game not creating it just porting so he isn’t at all that talented

HEY,I downloaded the QUAKE new emulator,with better grafx,and gess what,you can apply the missions pak released,if you have them (Scourge Of Armago and Dissolution Of Eternity)
Yuo have to install the full version of QUAKE and rename the paks to pak2.pak and wala.NOW I CAN PLAY NOT ONLY QUAKE,BUT THE MISSIONS PAK AS WELL.Is wonderfull,I dont know if yoy people know this,but i want to tell.TANKS

McZonk is wrong,if I be loyal to SONY,I heve already upgrade my psp just to play gta,and will not be able to play QUAKE 2,SO,WHAT IS HE THINKING

Q2 RULZ no matter wat happenes
oh yah and most of id’s software becomes freeware after awile
ive played and beat most of their games

wow that post looks horrable i gota start thinkin before i hit the submit button

awesome job McZonk. quake 2 was a staple game for me. it introduced me into the gaming world on the pc. i was happy to PURCHASE this game back in the day and i would gladly donate to your cause.

keep up the amazing work and just ignore the people with terrible things to say.

#54, you are misinformed and obviously under-educated. he had to rebuild the entire engine. if he’s so ‘untalented’, why don’t you woo all of us with your ‘talent’ and release some original code or an awesome port.

First up, congratulations to McZonk on porting a fantastic game to PSP. It must have taken many days and nights of work. There’s no disputing the effort that went into it.

However, I agree with some of the above posters. In my opinion, coding it to crash if it recognises an ISO folder is really foul play. I appreciate that McZonk might have strong feelings about piracy, but forcing his opinions down people’s throats is a little arrogant, and ultimately, ineffective.

There’s a variety of ways to get around the check, from the simple temporary renaming of the directory, to the slightly more complicated but more permenant editing of your loader’s files to recognise a different directory (Kudos TensaiSama – Post #52.)

These tricks, though, are not really the point of my post. McZonk’s actions are not only alienating game pirates (who will eventually always find a way around “safeguards”), but also legitimate gamers who back up their UMD’s for additional speed and convenience, and in my particular case, people who use iso based homebrew. For example, I use the Fried Up Browser homebrew to browse the web on my PSP, which does not involve “stealing” a game (although admittedly, the software was originally ripped from a game). However, as it is ISO based – same result – McZonk’s port doesn’t work.

I was very excited when I saw Quake 2 had been ported to PSP, but after discovering what had been included in the code, I deleted it from my PSP. I have nothing but respect for people who dedicate their time and energy into creating new programs for our wonderful little machines, but I have no time for someone who uses their talent to force their own version of morality down my throat

man, when i was young I used to play Q2 multiplayer all day with my dad. my heart literally stopped when i saw this. THANK YOU MCZONK!

Superb! I can’t wait for multiplayer. Will it support bots too?

This Q2 release violates the GPL: which I’m sure plenty of people here believe in very strongly: it’s the foundation of open source! As Q2’s source is released under the GPL, you must include information on where to obtain the modified source code (or include the source itself) with the release. You can’t just include binaries, which is what has been done here.

WOW SOME OF THESE COMMENTS SRE HORRIBLE!!!!! ISOS ARE ILLEGAL

My god McZonk is AGIANST piracy? FUCK HIM THEN!

Comment by LOL — January 12, 2006 @ 1:27 pm” uR PRECOUIS ISOS HUH? I HOPE U GET CAUGHT PLAYING UR PRECIOUS ISOS BECUZ UNLIKE U I LIKE TO PLAY A “LEGAL” GAME!!!!!!!!! AND ALL OF YOU THAT THINX IT SUX IT DOESNT!!!! I WANT TO SEE ALL U NEGATIVE REPLIERS TO TRY TO PORT/CREATE YOUR OWN GAME TO SEE HOW EASY THAT IS! IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY DON’T SAY IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW SOME OF THESE COMMENTS SRE HORRIBLE!!!!! ISOS ARE ILLEGAL
(Dan – #64)

No – Pirating games is illegal. Backing up your own games in ISO format is perfectly legal.

the attempt to try to stop isos wont work..sadly but quake 2 is awesome! lol i was making fun of the 13 year old with that comment lol(#45)..stupid iso users

Wen i start NewGame the id logo plays continuously in a loop, the actual game doesnt start. from the screenshots this port looks awesome. (to the guy hu made this port, thanks for the antipiracy thing to stop ISO:, NOT!!, U Fukin arse hole)

God damnit people, shut up with all the wineing! Boo fu@#ing hoo, you have to delete you stolen games! Cry me a river. ;_;

But anyway kudos to the coders can’t wait till the Final Version!!! :)

when is it out 4 2.6?

iso’s rule! most games released so far suck balls, i have loads of isos and only play a half a dozen of them regularly for exactly this reason.. if i had had actually paid for all the games i have playtested i would be down 3000 pounds or so and would be sitting on a chair made of shoddy releases that makes my arse ache! for me, iso games for both the psp and pc are like extended demos. most never even get past the first few levels because they are crappy ports or just downright uninspiring..

anybody… when can i play iso’s on 2.6?

This won’t be out for 1.50+, so please stop asking and ISOs will never be on 2.x because, anything past 1.50 can’t run kernal.

Why not stick the game on your 32M (otherwise useless) mem stick that came with the psp, if it fits, and just fill up the rest of the space with music, etc.? Swap out the game when you want to play something else.

How do I get to next level? have sweeped the map for an exit… plzzz heeelp

sorry but does it work on 2.60

Very good work here and big respect due, personally i think the peeps should start working on a half life conversion, with sound if possible as it would have a greater longitivity due to it being the more advanced game on the quake 2 engine. It also had a better colour pallate a.i and gameplay etc. To the few kiddies on here who “diss” I.D and quake 2 etc what you guys gotta remember is that the are people like me and others who post on here, who are old enough to remember going out to buy the first FPS shooter which was Wolfenstein “3D” for 386 pc or a pentium 75mhz+ if you had £1500 or $2700 dollers (lol) and it was made by I.D. Quake 2 rocked for anyone with a voodoo 2 or loads of ram and good processor (mhz actually mattered then). So dont go saying quake and i.d are crap etc because these earlier games are nothing but old school toys for you but for me and others who helped fund the early industry its cool to see this game on such a small scale on the psp. Be cool

hmmm thats funy i got it to work on my 2.00 nedd help nfsjuiced@aim.com

never mind it frezzes at the loading screen when i start a new game my bad

(re 76)
Half Life used the Quake 1 engine (albeit tweaked)….which is possibly why it was so inferior to Quake2 for online play.
