Fans port Quake II to DS
Feb. 10
This is a really interesting exercise in terms of pushing the hardware boundaries of the Nintendo DS. The fans at Drunken Coders have at long-last gotten a complete homebrew version of Quake II's single-player to run on the Nintendo DS. The catch is that running it basically requires a very particular selection of flash carts, since the sheer size and complexity of the software is way beyond anything the DS was designed to be able to do.
Unlike Quake 1, there is simply no way of fitting Quake II into the memory configuration of a stock DS. To play the game you must have a supported slot-2 flash card that contains a minimum of 16 megabytes of RAM.
Supported cards: 'Proper' SuperCards, eg the Lite, SD, MiniSD, and CF. The SuperCard Rumble and SuperCard One are not compatible. 'Perfect' M3s, eg the Lite Perfect, the Mini SD Perfect, and the SD Perfect. The Mini SD Pro, SD Pro, and Lite Pro are not compatible.EZ-Flash cards which have a slot-2 component and can play GBA games over 32MBit, eg EZ 3-in-1, EZ 4, EZ 5. G6 Flash.
