[RELEASE] vitaQuake - Quake port for PSVITA

[SeongGino]

- Maybe it's me that i'm not native english but " is there room for improvement with for instance multithreading" i really don't understand what you wanted to say with this.

Pretty sure he/she meant to ask if you were going to use the four Vita CPU cores to increase performance somehow, or at least make it a tad more economical on the processor. It's alright. (^^;

@Rinne I managed to reproduce the crash several times : Set "Depth of Field" to the max, then Resolution to the minimum, and when exitting (The game says something funny, which is different everytime you exit, and then asks you to push Y) it crashes. (I don't know how to do screenshots :O)

About the multithreading thing, yes I was wondering if you plan on utilizing all four cores of the Vita ^_ ^

Press Home+Start button to take screenshots.
As for multithreading, HENkaku has access to only 3 cores and they're already used at all (1 core = game, 1 core = sounds, 1 core = cdaudio music)

Here is a screenshot
(By the way, I bought Quake through "Good Old Games" (gog.com) for 9 Euro, though it doesn't contain CDAudio due to copyright issues)

The crash on quitting is a well known bug, as for the Y,N. They are the PC equivalent buttons, i must change them <.<

WoW! I'm going to try 1.4 Ver. soon, thanks a lot @Rinnegatamante !
Does your port support 3rd party episodes like DOPA (Dimension of the Past) by Machine Games (it was made for winquake) ? => http://www.pcgamer.com/machinegames-rel ... e-episode/

Edit : I found a bug in 1.4, I tried exitting after having played ep4 and tweaked quite a few settings, it asked me to push Y, I pressed triangle then square then X and it crashed.
If you need a log/dump or whatever it's called, PM me.
I also tried putting "Dimension of the Past" episode in a folder called "dopa" inside "Quake" right next to "id1". As I expected, it doesn't load ^_^ (hardcoded accepted files list/directory structure ?). Could we have support for this awesome creation please ? :3

Comment/Question : At native resolution and in it's current version vitaQuake runs not so well, is there room for improvement with for instance multithreading, or are you going to offload what you can to the gpu later in development so that it runs smoothly ?

Actually i tried something crazy... and Dopa worked for me by calling "pak02" and put in id folder lol

EDIT : it crash after complete the E1 so much hope, maybe we could find a trick

Hey Rinne, awesome port! Could you allow enable of save settings? everytime i restart i have to repair (sensibility, brightness, button config and screen resolution)


About crashes, I am playing on hard, level 5 so far and i only have heavy crashes on grizzy grotto (lvl 3 when jumping into water).

Quake has always been my first ever and most favorite FPS game. So I'm very glad to see these updates happen. Thank you!
I'll make sure to test online support soon and report back if anything doesn't work still.
