How to play
How to start the game has not changed - if you've played before, just replace the executable with a new one.
This mini-guide assumes that you are familar with the process of running homebrew on your Nintendo DS. If you don't know how to run NDS homebrew, look online for the answer...
- In the root of your flash card, make a directory named id1
- If you're using the shareware version, copy pak0.pak from that archive into the id1 directory that you just created
- If you're using a commerical version, copy pak0.pak AND pak1.pak into that directory
-
You need a config file to tell the game how buttons are set up, etc. I know that my config file works, so download that from the link above and save it into the id1 directory.
-
Visit Chishm's DLDI page (above) and download the DLDI driver file which corresponds to your NDS booting method.
-
Download the QuakeDS binary package above, and extract the NDS file into the root of your flash card
-
You now need to patch that program so that it will be able to access the files on your card
-
For example, on my GBA Movie Player (CF) I download the file named 'mpcf.dldi' from Chishm's page.
-
I then run 'dlditool mpcf.dldi k:\QuakeDS.nds' - note K: is the volume where my Compact Flash card is mounted, yours will likely differ
-
Now do what you've gotta do to make an NDS start on your card
-
For example, on my GBA Movie Player, I need to rename K:\QuakeDS.nds to K:\_boot_mp.nds
-
Put the card in your booting hardware and turn on your DS!
Here is an excellent video tutorial by CalcProgrammer showing you how to install pre-release 2 - the method is still the same for release 3.
Does it still run at 3fps, hehe ;)?
wish this could be emulated.
it can be emulated, but you need something like the R4 revalution for ds game chip with a mini-sd card, with the moonshell software installed to make it compatible for ds. just load the nds file in the mini-sd with the moonshell software installed, load the mini-sd into the R4 game chip, then play away.
Actually, on the standard R4 with no extra slot-2 memory packs, it runs quite well, even better then DSDoom! I'm guessing because this homebrew utilizes the hardware better and is programmed differently. Surprising, eh?
@leilei, you mean in a DS emulator? In theory it could, but why would you want to do that?
looks awesome, might download when i get the dsiplayer card
if youve got a r4 can you download this onto it
Very fun just got it working on my DSi with my M3 card!
cant load gfx halp pls
That's usually a problem with the gamefiles, make sure pak0.pak and pak1.pak are both in id1
Is there a way to use mods on this? Also, how do i play multiplayer?
I dont see why not. Stop by these guys for Quake stuff in 2021 :] Facebook.com 1 & 2 quake 3 history page. Q2 also runs on the DS.
Hey, I keep having trouble booting this up, I am using twilight menu ++ and have made an id1 folder in the roms section of my SD card. It includes the pak0.pak (shareholder version) and the config file. I also have the NDS file aswell. (also it automatically made a ramdisks folder). I'm confused as to what i did wrong as I even patched it with dldi. didnt know what thing I patched it with though, could be a problem. please help!

Hold L to disable qdsopts.txt
Starting up
Fat init...ok
passed fp tests!
Using default command line
Init ARM7...
And thats when it (i believe) freezes, not sure though. Holding L does nothing. Don't know if this helps but I am using a DSi XL. also made an account now for easy replying
